No problem! I’m obviously a bit biased since i’ve been a fan since the late 90s and dabble in the art (i’ve been an off and on pro wrestler since the late 00’s), but i view it as more as an improvisational art than i do a sport. It’s basically live theatre, with the actors and actresses having more to do with ballet then, say, combat sports and mma. It’s actually fascinating to see how professional wrestling had influenced sports as a whole. Muhammed Ali, for example, has cited Gorgeous George as the reason why he would trash talk his opponents. And Conor McGregor, well, he talks like he’s straight out of the WWE. Filthy Tom Lawlor is a guy who basically went from being a pro-wrestling character in the ufc to becoming a full-time pro wrestler. Never mind the fact that there’s been matches where the ring is an entire island, or floating in the pacific with pyrotechnics everywhere, or even more cinematic productions set entirely within a house (or not so cinematically in the case of ddt). All together, though, is it’s an art benched on the back of blood, sweat, and even more blood of its performers. There’s nothing “safe” about pro-wrestling, as even the tiniest mishap could cripple a person, but it’s done through years of training, fitness, and finesse, that it is able to continue.
