	Professional wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the earlier parts of the 20th Century, "professional wrestling" was at times just that, a professional contest of amateur-style wrestlers competeing for a purse with a league structure similar to professional boxing.
		Professional wrestling is "simulated" in the sense that the outcomes are predetermined, and their effects upon the opponent exaggerated.
		The vast majority of bleeding incidents in wrestling are real, and are typically induced by using iodine in the back stage area to prep the skin for lacerating and using a foreign object or stiff blow to easily cause the skin to break.Bleeding is known as "juicing".

	All Japan Pro Wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) (全日本プロレス, zen nihon puroresu) is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion established in 1972.
		In the beginning the PWF recognized a world heavyweight championship and several "regional championships" given as billing to foreign stars depending from which region they came from, but after All Japan joined the NWA, the PWF world title was downgraded to a regional championship.
		The PWF "President" (similar to a commissioner in a U. promotion, with the added task of "presenting" the belts to the winners in title bouts) from the start until 2000 was Lord James Blears and after that Stan Hansen.

		The tapout is not a traditional part of professional wrestling; it was introduced during the mid-1990s in response to the increased popularity of mixed martial arts competitions, where the tapout has always been accepted.
		The vast majority of bleeding incidents in wrestling are real, and are typically induced by using hidden razor blades to cut oneself on the forehead; the act of cutting is known in the business and among fans as blading, and bleeding is known as juicing.
		When professional wrestling moved to increasingly fixed matches around the early 1900s, there was still a strong push for most of the century to promote professional wrestling as being a legitimate sport; this movement is where the concept of kayfabe originated from.

	Wrestling Encyclopedia
		AJPW immediately established itself among the elite promotions in Japan and one of the world’s most respected wrestling circuits while engaging in working agreements with both the NWA and AWA throughout the 1970’s and 80’s, which produced a steady influx of veteran American talent.
		Originally known as the Midwest Wrestling Association representing territories in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa, the circuit was a cornerstone office of the National Wrestling Alliance as promoters Pinky George and Orville Brown were two of the NWA’s founding members in 1948.
		Founded by upstate New York wrestling promoter Pedro Martinez, the NWF was originally based in Buffalo but later formed a working agreement with New Japan Pro Wrestling that moved the circuit to a permanent residence in Japan.

	Pro Wrestling Insider - Pro Wrestling News Inside & Out
		The best way to describe the current mood around All Japan Pro Wrestling is "a state of flux." The promotion has seen much better days and much of the blame has been hoisted on the shoulders of President Keiji Mutoh.
		Over the last several months, All Japan has continued to move away from the traditional feel of the promotion, dropping imagery of the late Giant Baba from advertising, discontinuing its traditional big events in Budokan Hall, and the usage of former WWE talent such as Jamal, Justin Credible, and Bull Buchanan in recent months.
		Ka Shin, who jumped from New Japan in January 2002 to join Mutoh in All Japan, had a WWE tryout late last year and was hopeful of heading to WWE, but it didn't come together.

		Forecasters believe the same could happen to New Japan, because the pro wrestling industry in Japan may be in decline.
		One Japanese wrestling publication reported that the number of live shows declined over the past few years, and fewer people watch wrestling in Japan than did 20 years ago.

		Just like in Japan the computer crowd has a habit of rooting for the underdog, so if you're beating up your opponent badly for a while don't be too surprised if he stages a comeback and is hard to finish off, no matter what you do short of your guys' finisher.
		In keeping with All Japan's style though the game doesn't feature weapons or anything, just the ring and its barriers and like the real version there are no countouts.
		Other than that, All Japan Pro Wrestling Featuring Virtua is a perfect game which has highered the standards how a 3D wrestling game is supposed to look and behave tremendously.

		This was the type of match that the promotion was built on, which is kind of funny, considering that All Japan turned into one of the only promotions that became known for always having clean finishes in their matches.

		He loves pro wrestling deeply...and even used the slogans "King of Sports" and "Civil Rights For Puroresu" as the mottos of New Japan Pro Wrestling when he started the federation in 1972.
		As a promoter, Inoki is a genuine trailblazer -- bringing pro wrestling to countries like Russia, China, Korea, and Taiwan that had never had a pro wrestling event in their country, or even seen the sport on TV.
		Inoki's relationship with Tokyo Pro didn't last long, though, and by 1967 he was back with the JWA until he left to create New Japan Pro Wrestling in 1972.

		The first joshi puroresu (women's pro-wrestling in Japan) organization was "All Japan Women's Wrestling Club", founded in 1948 by the Ikari Brothers, vaudevillians who mainly promoted the comical "garter stripping" matches.
		Around this time, a number of joshi puroresu organizations were founded throughout Japan in addition to the existing group by the Ikari Brothers.
		In 1967, a similar attempt was made when Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling Association was formed, and one of the members was Takashi Matsunaga, who took over All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling Federation.
