It's always possible that some one player or two, or a ref, or a even a coach, could be paid or coerced into throwing a game--especially a big money game like the SB. 

But that's a long ways from the WWF, in which the outcome of every series of matches is predetermined and follows a kind of script. Think of how many times the bad guy "almost" wins and the ref is always conveniently looking the other way when the bad guy does something wrong.  Good guys and bad guys all understand that EVERYONE's payday depends on this kind of show. A guy who decided to go off script would be the exception. Also, the wrestling isn't really real wrestling.  Think of how many times you see one guy turn his back on another.

Best not to socialize with people who don't like football.
