10 Fakest Moves In Wrestling

In a business full of ridiculous moves, these are the ones that stand out the most.

It's nothing new to refer to something in professional wrestling as "fake" because if you're a fan of the business you know that's just part of the game. The results aren't real. There are scripts. The guys and girls really aren't hurting each other. It's live theater performed by guys and girls inside a ring where most people know that it's all for show. We watch wrestling because it's fun. It was fun when we were five years old and saw it for the first time. It's still fun when we spend hundreds of dollars to fly across America to attend a four hour WrestleMania. Despite our love for the wrestling business, there are certain things about it that bother us. One of those things that bothers us are the moves that look too fake. If we're really being critical of these moves then you could really include 98% of the moves we see on TV and call them fake looking because that's what they are. Consider this to be a light hearted piece that really shouldn't be taken too serious. The point of pro wrestling is to do moves that may look real, but in the end cause no pain to anybody whatsoever. The less pain you can cause to your opponent the better. It's time to look at ten of the fakest moves in wrestling history. There are a lot of signature moves on here because they're the ones we're used to seeing time and time again for several years. Let's get to it.
