Pro wrestling, short for professional wrestling, is a form of entertainment that combines athletics with theatrical performance. In pro wrestling, wrestlers engage in scripted matches that display a variety of fighting techniques, athletic feats, and choreographed sequences. The outcomes of these matches are predetermined, and rivalries and storylines are woven into the performances to enhance viewer engagement and create dramatic story arcs.
Pro wrestling events often take place in front of live audiences and are broadcast on television or through other media platforms. The wrestlers, who may take on distinct personas or characters (often referred to as “gimmicks”), perform high-energy moves and engage in dramatic storytelling to captivate fans.
While the physicality of pro wrestling is real, the narrative aspects are scripted, allowing for a unique blend of sport and entertainment. Organizations such as WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and AEW (All Elite Wrestling) are among the prominent promoters of pro wrestling, showcasing a variety of styles and talents from around the world.
