A SPORT, people say it's gay, ok then, why do all the wrestlers have hot chicks on their arms? If you don't wrestle because you think "ew it's gay" it either:
1. your not confident about your sexuality.
2. you are dumb.
3. you know you'll get trashed in a ring.
I myself wrestle, and a lot of other sportsmen come in and TRY, but a lot don't succeed because it's a very tough sport and you have to be superfit and your body is not suited to wrestle. Their are many different styles:
1. Pro: American style wrestling done by big muscly guys
2. Shoot: real, such as Ultimate Fighting Championships
3. British: Submission based, sort of like American but originated from the UK and has a different more traditional image to it
4. Indy: RoH, LAW, very good style of wrestling, like backyarding rules but in a ring and professional
5. Amatuer: Olympic style wrestling
6. Backyarding: I don't know how any can call with wrestling but somehow it's classed as wrestling, done by risktakers in their backyards who record it on home video, I would classify it as "brawls" personally
7. Lucha Libre: originated from mexico, traditionally wear masks, do highflying moves
Their are more but I'm tired...
Yeah I agree wrestling can sometime be boring to watch, but remember wrestler's are awsome athletes who go out their every night and day and kick ass for you guys at home.
It's not all fake, moves are 50-50, both people make the moves happen, but risks and injuries are real and so are the stunts, respect wrestler's whether you like them or not.

A fun sport to watch on tv

A sport that involves large amounts of sweat, hard work, and dedication. Not to be confused with "Professional" Wrestling.

Originating back more than 5000 years and refined by the Greeks.

You can play soccer, football, tennis, or basketball...but you can't play wrestling.

What men do during boy's basketball season.

Wrestling is not just a sport its a lifestyle...your giving up you social life just to work out 3 times a day. your waking up at 6 to go for a morning 3 mile run. your eating very little if anything. your drinking 8 oz of water a day. your working that hard to go to a meet with almost no fans there just to see who wants to win more. You could be on the basketball team for a season or you can be a wrestler for life.

Wrestling is a sport as old as mankind itself. Since the dawn of time men have been pitted against each other in physical hand-to-hand combat, making this almost certainly the most ancient of Olympic sports. Greeks immortalized wrestling on their coins and first introduced it as an event in their Olympic Games in 776 BCE. Turkish mercenaries taught the Persians the finer points of wrestling during the early middle ages. Dubbed “koresh” its various techniques quickly spread throughout the Islamic nations. Europe and Brittany modified these early forms of wrestling to suit their own preferences of the day and Medieval knights even added wrestling to their fighting repertoire. It's a simple concept. Two men or women wrestle until one is declared the winner. Over the years, wrestling techniques have become more sophisticated and generally speaking the winner of any wrestling bout is the person who has the better technique, strength and overall fitness. Wrestling is split into Greco-Roman and Freestyle disciplines. In Freestyle wrestling the competitors have a much greater freedom. They can use not only their arms and bodies, but also their legs and can take a hold of their opponent anywhere that allows them to overpower and gain total control of them.

The toughest sport out there, in which you go for as many as 5 days with no food, 2 without water, and work out in a sauna after impossibly intense normal practices to make a low weight class. You then beat the shit out people in 6 minute matches, some of which last up to 10 minutes if they go to overtime. No pussy rests like in football and no slow pace like in soccer. It is all out tooth and claw WAR for 6-10 minutes against a MAN your exact size who has trained all season to kill YOU. After a match, the you are nearly dead and sometimes cannot stand. You will eventually stand and then fight up to 5 times in one day.(Up to 50 minutes of pure hell.) If you are tough and survive the first day you then go home, get six hours of sleep or less, and do it all over again, with your opponents getting tougher every match. You will probably have been injured at this point and have to fight through it.

Last man standing gets to call himself the champion.


In order to be good at this sport you have to give up all unhealthy foods and train hard at least 3 times a day.
