[h=1]How are the WWE matches scripted?[/h]
To clarify does the superstars practice the moves before the match or the sequence of moves that they need to do ?
Also how real are the injuries that wwe wrestlers suffer?
6 Answers
First, there is something known as a 'spot'. Any move mid match that is already planned is known as a 'spot'. 'High spots' are spots which are of high risk nature.
Take any of the John Cena vs. CM Punk matches from recent history. Most of the match as it goes will feature chain moves, rest holds, few physical strikes, etc. When Cena goes for a shoulder block, that is a spot. Cena is known for his famous 5 mov combo which goes as follows: shoulder block->shoulder block->spinning out powerbomb->5 knuckle shuffle->attitude adjustment. All those are spots. These will be planned prior to the match. A general sequence on how the match ends will also be planned in advance. As seen in this video:
Generally, the referees will guide the superstars during the match. They have ear pieces through which backstage officials (sometimes even Vince McMahon) will direct them. They control the time flow of the match. Whenever the referee goes near a superstar, he conveys to him what is to be done. This is especially glaringly obvious when there are real life injuries or botches that happen mid-match. See the following video where both happen:
Though it is disputed, I would like to believe that this was a botch and not planned. Cena and Batista botch the ending of the Rumble. Batista was supposed to powerbomb Cena outside, but Cena's weight topples both of them to the outside. At first sight, you will see SD! ref, Charles Robinson agree with the Raw ref and tell the other SD! ref as well that Cena hit the floor first (because as per script, Batista should win). By this time, the refs have gotten word from the back (via earpiece) to dispute the victory saying Cena won. Vince himself comes out soon. He knocks out both his knees in the ring while entering. Notice he is unable to stand up once he enters. This injury is very real. There have been serious injuries that have happened inside the ring mid-match. Although there are a few fake scripted injuries (that usually are staged when a superstar needs to take time off).
Few real injuries you can search online for videos are -
Sid jumping off the top rope and twisting his leg (warning: very graphic).
Kevin Nash returns from injury and in his first match back pulls his quad by simply running across the ring and re-injures himself.
Randy Orton injures his arm by punching it (a part of his "viper stalking his prey" routine before the RKO)
A recent example of staged injuries would include Brock Lesnar 'breaking the arm' of HHH and Shawn Michaels; this only furthers the drama and tension as part of the storyline. Eddie Guerrero's mother suffered a heart attack (staged) when he was in a feud with JBL in 2004.
On the topic of heart attacks, Jerry Lawler had a heart attack while Raw was live. The heart attack was very real and was referenced to later as well.
I hope this answers all the questions you had!Written 2 Sep 2013 ? View Upvotes ? Asked to answer by Eashwar Ranganathan

Pro wrestling is scripted in two senses. The first is, obviously, that match outcomes are predetermined, and that's the one that detractors, missing the point entirely, fall back on to taunt viewers. The second is almost more important: All the planning and production that goes into the massive television broadcasts. It's an art in and of itself, and a look at the TV script provides a wonderful peek at the WWE spectacle.
At the bottom of this page you'll find a (nearly) complete broadcast script for the April 14 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. It apparently made the rounds not long after the show, but I hadn't seen it until featured by The Week, and I find it so interesting I'm willing to run the gauntlet of "Old news!" taunts to bring it to those of you who missed it the first time around.
Let's pull out some interesting bits. Here's what a match segment looks like. Announcers and production crew members are cued with the commercial that immediately precedes the return to air (in this case, a Toys R Us spot) and the segment begins with one tag team already in the ring. The action itself is laid out in the script literally as simply as possible?"Match," and "RybAxel over," indicating them as the winners.
1
The outcomes are predetermined, but the actual flow of the match is largely left up to the wrestlers' discretion. The specific spots to hit will be worked out between them ahead of time, and the connective tissue between the big moves is mostly a matter of in-ring improvisation. All the wrestlers have to do is make sure their match fits in to the allotted time?in this case, five minutes for the whole segment.
(Announcers are likely in on the matches' final sequences, so they can be prepared to call it properly. But for obvious reasons, these sequences aren't written down.)

The match duration, main moves, finishing moves and outcome are predetermined. The major events of a match are planned and discussed beforehand, and so is the outcome. Some major events are definitely planned - for instance, someone might interfere in a match just as the bad guy, or 'heel', is about to lose. In the WWE, each match is assigned a producer, who will plan the major events of the match in consultation with the wrestlers. In smaller wrestling venues the planning is much less elaborate. The duration of the match is also predetermined, and the time is kept by the referee. If you time the matches on, say, WWE, you might notice that there are broadly, 5, 15 and 25 minute matches.
The referee is not just a neutral bystander. The referee keeps track of time and tells wrestlers when to wrap up a match. He also helps communicate things between wrestlers, and assists in the overall story by "accidentally" getting bumped into during the course of a match, so that the bad guy or "heel" can cheat. Sometimes, when a wrestler wants things to get a bit bloody, the referee may slip a razor to him to cut himself (and collect it back later). At the same time, the referee needs to keep within the illusion of rulekeeping (disqualifications, count-outs, pinfalls). In WWE rings, the referee wears a wireless earpiece to receive instructions from backstage. This is important especially during television broadcasts when time constraints may require the wrestlers to wrap up a match more quickly. During a medical emergency, the referee has discretion to stop a match if he thinks one of the wrestlers is seriously injured, and he has to balance this discretion with the show's need to follow the scripted narrative.
Much (but not all) of a wrestling match is spontaneous. Wrestlers "call spots" to each other, ie, instruct each other about moves they will give or want to receive. Usually this is discreet, though occasionally one might be able to hear or spot it on TV. These spots are secondary to the major spots planned backstage.
Calling spots:
Selling, or exaggerating moves. Some moves, like the "stunner" and the "cutter", are not particularly painful for the receiving wrestler and he is the one who has to 'sell' it to make it look convincing. You might see wrestlers jump a couple of feet away after getting a chop or an uppercut - some 'sell' more than others. The powerhouse wrestlers, of course, deliberately "no sell" moves. If you don't 'sell' right, it looks bad:
Wrestlers protecting each other. You will find that high flying moves almost always hit their target, and in fact it can be quite obvious in a few cases that the receiving wrestlers open their arms and bodies to 'catch' the attacking wrestler. Wrestlers help each other out in potentially dangerous moves by, for instance, tapping the receiving wrestler when he is about to execute the move (the 'DDT'), or by releasing the arms of the receiving wrestler so he can protect his face and head upon impact with the mat (Triple H's 'Pedigree'). Very large, or powerful wrestlers must protect opponents, for instance, by not putting all his weight on the receiving wrestler in high impact moves.
An example of 'catching' a wrestler trying a high risk move:
The DDT 'tap', blink and you will miss it:
Wrestlers protecting themselves. Wrestlers will brace themselves for impact, for instance, by falling in a certain way or using their hands and knees to cushion an impact so they don't hit their heads. In some potentially dangerous moves, like the Undertaker's tombstone piledriver, you can actually see the receiving wrestler literally hugging the attacking wrestler tightly as a precaution.
The dangerous part of the tombstone piledriver here is that the attacking wrestler (wearing black) might lose his grip on an opponent (wearing white) who is suspended upside down with no protection to his head. Done correctly, the receiving wrestler actually does not impact the ground at all. His long hair and the speed of the movement disguises the fact that receiving wrestler's head is above the attacking wrestler's knees.
Wrestlers assisting each other. Like Brian says, although wrestlers are very strong and able to carry much more than their own body weight, many moves still require the assistance of the receiver. The 'chokeslam', for instance, often requires the receiving wrestler to bend his knees and kick off the ground a bit.
Wrestlers hating each other. It is reasonable to expect some tension between a bunch of jacked-up, muscular fellows who have to be egotistical for a living. However, the strange thing about wrestling is that you have to both hit the opponent and protect him, which compounds the already complex working dynamic between wrestlers who travel with each other 200 days in a year in the WWE's case.
Punching / hitting with hands. Wrestlers don't punch each other like boxers do. They seldom hit each other with the knuckles of their fists, but with the back of the hand, or the wrist, or some part of the hand/arm that is less sharp than the knuckle. They are very restrained in this way, but a good wrestler will know how to disguise this restraint with his body language or with his hitting 'technique'.
Stamping. Punches make little sound. Wrestlers stamp their feet on the ground as they snap into a punch to generate what sounds like an impressive, audible punch. But it's their feet. A good wrestler will know how to make this stamping look natural and look necessary for gaining momentum.
Things that are real:
Taking a bump (how wrestlers fall). Wrestlers take much more pain than they have to. When the wrestler falls on his back - they call it a "back bump" - he is actually slamming himself on the mat with more force than he has to. The mats are rigged with microphones to amplify the sound, but those can only go so far.
Here, a professional wrestler, Triple H, demonstrates the difference between the back bump a rookie takes, and a professional.
Chair and table shots. They're not fake props. The steel chairs are really steel chairs. In some cases some props like tables may be pre-cut, but this is so that they break in a predictable fashion and therefore not injure the wrestler with unexpected splinters.
The pain. The mats aren't concrete, but they're not mattresses either. There is some padding, but it doesn't save the wrestlers from feeling sore all week long. It hurts when you slam onto the mat. It hurts when you're whipped into a metal railing, steel steps, hit by a chair, a belt, a ring bell, a 2-by-4.
The soreness. People forget that top MMA fighters and boxers only fight a handful of times a year (if that). Those fights are brutal, but leave enough time for the body to recuperate. WWE wrestlers tour 200 days in the year. The biggest WWE stars may wrestle three or four times a week (Raw, Smackdown, and at least one untelevised house show), in addition to media commitments and travelling time (which can amount to 20-40 hours - the WWE travels to almost every continent on the planet). Most wrestlers go through the entire year sore or suffering from a nagging pain that never goes away. A few, like Edge and Shawn Michaels, have suffered well-documented back problems. Edge had to retire in his prime to avoid spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
The athleticism. Many people disparage WWE wrestlers as actors, but pro wrestling requires a great deal of athleticism. Many of the WWE's roster, past and present, are athletes in their own right. Kurt Angle was a Olympic gold medalist, and of the current roster, Alberto Del Rio has a background as an MMA fighter and a gold medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Pan-American games. A few others have excellent amateur backgrounds - Jack Swagger was a two time All American.
The concussions. Concussions are well documented in wrestling. Many promotions like the WWE no longer allow chair shots on the head due to the very real effects on health. You don't need to be hit on the head to have a concussion. When you are dealing with wrestlers in the 100-200 kg (or 200-400 lbs) range, one can get a concussion from the most innocuous of wrestling moves. The wrestler often continues wrestling through a concussion. Depending on his level of awareness, his opponent(s) often improvise a finish. In this link (http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/n...), Kurt Angle talks about how Triple H and The Rock improvised a finish when he suffered a concussion during a triple threat match involving the three.
Submission moves. Some submission holds are for show. The "sleeper" is usually meant for the wrestlers to rest and 'call spots' for the rest of the match. It is perfect because the wrestlers get to be within whispering distance of each other. They call spots, of course, after hiding or angling their mouths away from the cameras. The common feature of almost all submission moves is that they meant to be adjustable (ie, can be loosened a bit) and have a few exit spots to allow the receiver to counter the move. However, many submission moves genuinely hurt (like Bret Hart's 'sharpshooter'). Many of the submission moves you see on the WWE are borrowed from "real" sports like MMA and jiujitsu - such as the arm trap triangle choke or the gogoplata.Updated Nov 24, 2014 • View Upvotes
