Hi Charles, To be honest this sounds like another one of your categorical statements without evidence or reasons to back it up. Why exactly do you think professional wrestling is not wrestling?
The reason I take issue with your opinion is this. I have been watching or listening to professional wrestling for 30 years and have watched AWA, NWA, WWE, TNA, WCW, etc and while there is certainly what you call "artistic stunt work" involved many of those professional wrestlers use the same holds and moves you would find in amateur wrestling. I use to watch amateur wrestling matches such as high school wrestling, it is different, but not so different that pro wrestling should not be called wrestling. The main difference I see in pro wrestling is the companies like WWE fix matches, write storylines, and of course use a lot of flashy moves that are for show along with traditional wrestling holds and throws. Where with amateur wrestling nothing is scripted and the wrestlers win or lose by skill alone. So I am just interested to know what your opinion is based on. Cheers!
