is Professional Wrestling a Sport ?

Everything's predetermined , it's crazy how you can bet on it though

Bourn, but it is scripted, don't think that would fit in there because there is no actual competition. In addition, with some thought, I'm confident I could come up with a list of things that would fit into that definition that you would agree are not a sport

True

Its kinda like going to The Circus, but without the elephants and trapeze artist.

the only thing on the level with pro wrestling is the mat.

more like a stunt show

If we can call overgrown men riding undersized BMX bikes in the Olympics a sport, then why not, let's call fake wrestling a sport...

Its a sport, most are athletes, some are big fat ass chumps who think lifting is all they need. But is scripted no doubt... so it is a sport, but not a "competitive" sport... more comparable to watching a circus show like Bourn said... those guys making stunts at circus de soleil are athletes as well.
