Well, WWE is a type of entertainment. So yes, there are some acts and stories that are "kayfabe" which is their term for acting or the more exact term fabricate. If WWE is purely wrestling without any storylines, would you still be interested watching it? Would it still survive 800+ episodes? Would the wrestlers like The Rock, or Austin or Cena or even Randy Orton be famous? They would probably not be, because it's because they have a story, and they are involved in some of the storylines that make them interesting and worth to like and watch. But with that being said, WWE is not all acting. All wrestlers are able to wrestle, and all PPV's are not staged. It's PURE wrestling. As for RAW and SMACKDOWN, yes, some of them are "kayfabe" just to built the storyline, but their bruises and blood are real. Do you think that they could stage Jeff Hardy climbing so high and jumping down all the way to hit Randy Orton and both of them will be fine? They did suffer real injuries.. And so does other wrestlers as well.. Well, interesting discussion you came up with.. Thanks for opening that up.. Have a great day! Take Care!

I think wwe matches are staged, it is called "Kayfabe". In professional wrestling, kayfabe refers to the portrayal of events within the industry as "real" that is the portrayal of professional wrestling as not being staged or not worked. Reffering to events or interviews as being a "work" means that the events/interviews has been "kayfabed" or staged, and/or is part of a wrestling angle while being passed off as legitimate. In relative terms, a wrestler breaking kayfabe during a show would be likened to an actor breaking character on camera. The origin of the term is uncertain. Kayfabe is often seen as the suspension of disbelief that is used to create the non-wrestling aspects of promotions, such as feuds, angles, and gimmicks, in a similar manner with other forms of entertainment such as soap opera or film. In the past, virtually all wrestlers adhered to kayfabe in public, even when outside the ring and off-camera, in order to preserve the illusion that the competition in pro wrestling was not staged. With the advent of the Internet Wrestling Community and the sports entertainment movement in pro wrestling, the maintenance of pro wrestling's backstage secrets are more difficult to keep than they were in earlier decades. Today, kayfabe is sometimes broken to advance storylines, to explain prolonged absences due to legitimate injury, as a tribute to a wrestler, or even for comedic effect.

Wrestling was scripted way back to the time when Vince replaced his father of being the owner of what is now WWE. Vince's father was into real wrestling (no gimmicks, no scripts, something like the olympics wrestling), and Vince was responsible for making "scripted wrestling".
