If Chess is a sport, I don't see how WWE isn't. Yeah the matches are "rigged", but some of the people's moves still require physical contact and hurt rofl. It's obviously athletic. You can't sit your ass on a couch and do what some of these do.

 

Also with the "entertainment" rule the very first definition of sport according to google is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for ENTERTAINMENT."

 

There doesn't have to be a competition for it to be categorized as a sport. Playing catch is a sport and no one plays catch in your backyard competitively. At least i hope not.

Who the hell considers chess a sport? About as dumb as calling poker a sport.

individual or team COMPETES

 

You realize you proved yourself wrong already right? No one here is denying the amount of physical work and skill these guys have. But it's not a sport. It's extreme improvised dancing.

"Sports entertainment"

 

Sports entertainment is a type of spectacle which presents an ostensibly competitive event using a high level of theatrical flourish and extravagant presentation, with the purpose of entertaining an audience.

 

Not a sport.
