	Work (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In professional wrestling, a work is slang for a staged event (that is, one that enforces kayfabe).
		As pro wrestling is staged, virtually everything that is seen during house shows or on televised shows is "a work", also referred to as "scripted" or "fixed." When a non-fan expresses the common "pro wrestling is fake" sentiment, they are referring to its nature as a work.
		Professional wrestlers generally avoid "shoots" at all costs, due to the high probability of sustaining injury, and also because audiences of professional wrestlers generally prefer the exaggerated and theatrical antics of pro wrestling to the calculated striking and grappling of MMA.
