Introduction
Professional Wrestling is a form of entertainment that takes place in a ring that resembles that of a boxing ring. There are many different styles of wrestling, including styles such as technical wrestling, British Strong Style, Japanese Strong Style, Lucha Libre, and many others. Professional Wrestling is often criticized by non-fans for being fake, however this is not the case. Although matches are scripted, and often conclusions to matches are pre-determined, pro-wrestlers being slammed down to the mat, and taking hits to their body is very much real. There are, and have been many wrestling companies over the years, but one that has stayed on top of the wrestling world for decades is the WWE (formerly WWF).
Wrestling
In order for a pro-wrestler to be successful at their craft, they need to have a basic understanding and ability to actually wrestle. Although there are multiple styles of wrestling, there are fundamnetals that all wrestlers need to know. These fundamentals include skills like bumping and feeding, running the ropes, and chain wrestling. Once a wrestler has these fundamentals down, they can find their own style of wrestling and make their own moveset.
There are many different wrestlers who wrestle diiferent styles.
Promos
Pro wrestling isn't just about an individuals ability to perform in the ring. The most successful pro-wrestlers are also good at cutting promos; speaking to the fans and other wrestlers to get them invested into the programme. During the attitude era of WWF(now WWE) superstars such as The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin often drew the fans in to the show with their electrifying promos and use of their catchphrases.
