Ok I’m not from usa, so I dont really underestand wrestling. As far as I know its a scripted sketch with real phisical skill necessary to perform the act. But I keep reading about old champions or the first xxx race champion etc. What do you mean champion? If those are actors, so to speak, there are no champion, there is a script to follow. Its like saying Arnold swarzneger was the first terminator to defeat the advanced model in terminator2, what
? Please eli5.

There was an attitude back in the 70’s and 80’s that if fans figured out that wrestling was fake the entire industry would die out. So there’s always been a hard push for it to be perceived as a real sport hence why they often have championships like real sports. Even today WWE pushes this idea to a pretty big degree. No active wrestler will ever talk about the match results being scripted in an interview. Honestly wrestlers don’t like the term fake or scripted either because that’s not entirely accurate. The results are scripted, but a lot of the action is improvisational based on crowd reaction or how the wrestlers are feeling during the match.
