Hi Charles,
I guess you said it yourself. You are a purest and are taking the term
wrestling too literally here. You are trying to compare pro wrestling
to another sport like football, basketball, bowling, etc when that
really is comparing two totally different things and trying to say
they
I periodically watch pro wrestling cards with friends of mine who are fans
and have written pro wrestling columns. We talk a lot more about the
stories than we do about the wrestling moves. We all like tNA best these
days, because its storylines seem more creative.
Teresa, whose favorite is
Interestingly enough, from friends of mine who do the more harsh and serious
sorts of mixed martial arts, (I have one friend who even das krav maga,
and yes, she is down right Scary!), since in those situations you are
dealing with people who are capable of doing real and serious damage

Hi Charles,
Fair enough. You are right that the classification is wrong because
while pro wrestling is treated as a professional sporting event the
way the events are staged it is often anything but professional in the
way the performers behave or conduct themselves. In this case the term

Hi Charles,
Yes, I do see your point, but as I pointed out in professional wrestling
there is both wrestling
Hi Dark,
I think show wrestling is an accurate description. Obviously,, there
is a lot of wrestling involved such as various grapples, submission
holds, and technical throws, but unlike in Olympic wrestling the WWE,
TNA, etc employ a lot of theatrical stunts such as attacking people
with chairs,
Hi Teresa,
Exactly. The big companies like the WWE don't even pretend to treat
wrestling as an actual sport or claim that the competitions are real.
They call pro wrestling sports entertainment which basically
emphasizes the fact it is entertainment like a sport but is not really
a sport the way
Hi Charles,
To be honest this sounds like another one of your categorical
statements without evidence or reasons to back it up. Why exactly do
you think professional wrestling is not wrestling?
The reason I take issue with your opinion is this. I have been
watching or listening to professional

Hi Charles,
Yes, I do see your point, but as I pointed out in professional
wrestling there is both wrestling and a lot of the extra stuff you
mentioned. The WWE is definitely one for having a lot of artistic
stunt work such as throwing people through tables, people getting
thrown from ladders,

I do sort of see charlse point here, that pro wrestling with the staged
matches, supposed foul moves etc isn't exactly the same as another
professional sport, even another combat sport like boxing or olypic
wrestling or competitive martial arts.
I wouldn't say it's not wrestling though
What they do is artistic stunt work, I think. Although it is an art form,
and some wrestling moves and holds are used, it is not wrestling.
