"Slim Jim values integrity and respect in all of our partnerships. Given the recent disturbing allegations against Vince McMahon, at this time we've decided to pause our promotional activities with WWE This decision reflects our commitment to our brand values and responsibility to our community....

Definitely, but at least Slim Jim will hurt them big time (it's their biggest sponsor since last summer.)

Nic Nemeth Says Shinsuke Nakamura Helped Get Him In Contact With NJPW (www.fightful.com)

"A couple of years ago, I'm not close friends with a lot of people, but a long time ago when Shinsuke came up from NXT, at the time I was doing the thing where everybody who shows up wrestles me. I didn't really know him, I didn't really watch Japanese wrestling, I don't watch our wrestling. I famously don't watch wrestling, I...

Tons. Still loving Margaret from 2009ish who asked me if 'we own the Google' and wouldn't take 'no'.

Is all wrestling , boxing matches really fake ?

I mean i understand some matches may be fixed but when two popular players fight would any of them want to be the loser ? And the damage looks very real or is the only fixed thing the outcome ? Maybe someone from the industrty can answer . Or am i missing something if so put it into the comments and i’ll edit the post.

Or the 3 or 4 times New Jack tried to straight up kill someone during a match.

I.E. A Tuesday.

Asked and answered but to chime in also: Boxing is not fixed (outside of incidents involving crooked people of course).

Pro Wrestling is choreographed performances. The results of matches are predetermined by the booker. The wrestlers come together before hand, decide between them some 'spots' they wanna do during the match but otherwise go out there and 'call a match' live (giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn't/can't hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]).

The moves are done in specific ways to minimize actual damage, and wrestlers are trained to land, and take moves in specific ways to minimize actual damage.

A good source is the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy out in Cali. They have a playlist on their YouTube channel showing the basics of almost any wrestling move you'd wanna know and learn. Watch some of em and you can see the tricks.

Cena's infamous for being (comparably) quite loud in the ring when calling things. Always manages to get picked up by the mic's.

Not uh..not the biggest fan of that finisher by MK Ultra tbh. The post-match one on Luna looked a bit close for comfort.
