You think, if you lift someone above your head and slam them down(suplex), they could damage any part of their body/back etc. The injuries are real.

So what bits of it are fixed then

The outcome of the match is pre-determined. It's pretty much like a soap opera script.

Haha

Wrestlemania is like the FA Cup/Champions League of the WWE. It's a pay-per-view and a showcase, it's the biggest wrestling event of the year. WWE is just the name of the promotion(There's WWE,TNA, NJPW loads more).
