Professional Wrestling

Professional wrestling is a form of entertainment that combines athletics with theatrical performance. It involves scripted matches where wrestlers portray characters and engage in choreographed wrestling maneuvers. While the outcomes of the matches are pre-determined and the events are often part of storylines, the physicality and athletic skills displayed by the wrestlers are real. Professional wrestling is characterized by dramatic storytelling, defined personas (or “gimmicks”), and an audience that is engaged with the wrestlers’ rivalries and narratives. Events are typically staged in wrestling rings, and promotions often host regular shows or pay-per-view events that draw large audiences.
