Actually it's not all scripted. The outcome is scripted, and some events, but the matches aren't actually worked out move by move in advance...that'd leave them no 'wiggle room' for mistakes, injuries, etc.

And of course they don't get hit as hard as it seems. If they did, they'd be dead or crippled.

Weird thing is, while some of the big power moves they do require the other guy's assistance to 'sell', some of the really simple ones are effective and incredibly painful.
