Hi Teresa, Exactly. The big companies like the WWE don't even pretend to treat wrestling as an actual sport or claim that the competitions are real. They call pro wrestling sports entertainment which basically emphasizes the fact it is entertainment like a sport but is not really a sport the way football, basketball, etc is. It is if anything, as you said, just some mindless fun watching some burly guys or a couple of hot women tossing each other around the ring for a while occasionally using a foreign object like a steel chair to knock out the opponent for the win. It is all for show and is all for fun. Leave it at that.
