Description: Professional wrestling is a form of athletic[1] theater[2] that revolves around mock combat performed in a squared ring, the central conceit being that the performers are sportsmen competing for championship titles and glory. The wrestlers, being actors as well as stuntmen, present morality plays with likable "faces" challenging despicable "heels". The ring is the main stage, but in televised wrestling shows, additional scenes can be filmed backstage, in a format similar to reality television.
