You see the story-lines are scripted and written but the whole fighting must be real if not how are the Pro Wrestling Illustrated awards given to wrestlers?

Answer 1

The idea of fighting is real in promotions such as WWE/TNA etc. Otherwise the wrestlers would not know what to pull of and when. PWI [Pro Wrestling Illustrated] breaks down voting into these catogries: PWI's family of magazines has given out annual awards since 1972. A ballot is printed in the special year-end issue, and the fans ostensibly vote for the winners. However, this has been disputed by wrestling news websites, which have claimed that winners are in fact selected by the magazine's editors. A special PWI Awards magazine is put out annually, which shows not only the winners, but the first three runners-up with the number of votes. The wrestlers receive plaques for each PWI Award that they win. The awards that PWI has given out are as follows: * Wrestler of the Year (since 1972) * Tag Team of the Year (since 1972) * Match of the Year (since 1972) * Feud of the Year (since 1986) * Most Popular Wrestler of the Year (since 1972) * Most Hated Wrestler of the Year (since 1972) * Most Improved Wrestler of the Year (since 1978) * Most Inspirational Wrestler of the Year (since 1972) * Rookie of the Year (since 1972) * Stanley Weston Award (since 1981) * Comeback of the Year (since 1992) * Woman of the Year (since 1999) Discontinued awards are as follows: * Manager of the Year (1972 to 1999) * PWI Girl Wrestler of the Year (1972 to 1976) * Midget Wrestler of the Year (1972 to 1976) * PWI Announcer of the Year (1977) ''Courtesy of Wikipedia'' Although these are judges by fans, the fans may be swayed to vote by ability, on and off screen personality and comitment to the business.
