We all know wrestling is fake. Right?

The matches are scripted. The winners are predetermined. Insert Calvinist joke here.

Seriously, there's no special skill that leads these athletes to victory, just some average guy in the WWE office with a keyboard and a sense of the dramatic.

Since the winners are known in advance, gambling on the event just ... wouldn't make sense.

Except we don't live in a rational world anymore.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is currently working with gambling regulators in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on their pre-determined events.

They are working with the accounting firm Ernst and Young to secure the scripts to their events. Ernst and Young secure the Academy Awards and the Emmys results before the shows, and betting on the Academy Awards is already legal in many states.

The WWE is proposing to lock scripts away so that even the wrestlers do not know who the winners or losers are going to be until shortly before the matches.

I'm sure that will all work out.

The Michigan Gaming Control said that if they approve WWE gambling, it will be published in their Sports Watering Catalog.

Colorado straight up said no. A spokesperson said,

"Colorado currently has a statute prohibiting wagers on events with fixed or predicted outcomes, including the Academy Awards."

Colorado aside, who wants to bet whether gambling on fake wrestling matches will be a thing in our future?
