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.

“Professional” wrestling is mostly scripted, it’s an acrobatic show with a lot of mostly fake “attitude” to give people something fun to watch. It’s like a semi scripted, semi-improvised performance art where the wrestlers and owners of the company come up with storylines to entertain the fans. A lot of them are former collegiate athletes who actually know how to wrestle at an olympic level. But that doesn’t get them any money, the entertainment business of jumping off of ropes every other night does.
