[Spider-Man 2002] Is pro-wrestling real in the Sam Raimi universe?

In the movie, when Pete decides to go toe-to-toe with Bonesaw, he initially gets the crap kicked out of him, but then he ends up coming out on top. This leads me to wonder: Is the whole Spidey franchise in kayfabe, or did Bonesaw just think he could beat up jabronis without a care in the world?

No. NYWL was one of the last holdouts of the practice of "hooking", a scam in which a wrestler offers to fight any member of the audience for money, then shoots on any challengers using a hold that is immediately disabling or painful enough to force someone who isn't trained in dealing with it to submit.
