	Professional wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Professional wrestling is generally any form of wrestling in which the wrestlers receive payment for participating.
		Professional wrestling is "simulated" in the sense that the outcomes are predetermined, and their effects upon the opponent exaggerated.
		The results are determined by "bookers" to maximize "heel heat" for the bad guy and "(baby)face heat" for the good guy, often in the context of a long-running "feud" or storyline.

	Professional Wrestling - MSN Encarta
		Professional wrestling developed from amateur wrestling, but while the two sports resemble each other in some ways, they are not closely related.
		The win-loss record of a professional wrestler, therefore, does not indicate how successful he or she is. Many professional wrestlers never win titles but nonetheless capture the imagination of fans and attract spectators and television viewers to the sport.
		Many professional wrestling matches are held in huge arenas that seat thousands of people, but others take place in small venues, such as high school gyms, bingo halls, and halls operated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).

	Booker (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A booker, as the term is used in professional wrestling, is a person who puts matches together and determines basics about their content, such as relative overall length, who the eventual victor will be, and many of the moves which will be made during the match; in other words, the match's "plotline".
		Considerable room is left for improvisation, especially in the case of talented veteran performers; at times the wrestlers may not strictly follow the intentions of the booker, especially where actual injury has occurred.
		Booking, in the sense used in professional wrestling, is the process of laying out in advance the general storyline of the match, to include what the eventual outcome will be.

		In the early days of professional wrestling, wrestlers toured the country and took on opponents from the audience.
		By the late 1980s the WWF had become the dominant organization in professional wrestling, and the NWA was no longer a major player.
		WWE is now considered the only major league of professional wrestling, although many smaller independent organizations continue to present shows all over the country.

		The concept of a wrestling super card was nothing new in North America; the NWA had been running StarrCade a few years prior to WrestleMania, and even the elder McMahon had marketed large Shea Stadium cards viewable in closed circuit locations.
		Borrowing many of the exciting wrestling and storyline styles from then-insurgent wrestling promotion ECW, the WWF Attitude Era was based largely on the growing popularity of the wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
		Mick Foley, as Mankind, became one of the most beloved figures in wrestling after the memorable Hell in a Cell match at 1998 King of the Ring, where Foley was thrown off the cage by The Undertaker, who remained one of the WWF's most enduring characters.

	Cultural Politics and Professional Wrestling
		As professional wrestling enjoys extraordinary success today with the public, scholars of popular culture are left to explain its appeal.
		Wrestling promoters generally, and Vince McMahon specifically, have gone to great lengths to promote a new rebellious image and to break down the old standard of a pure, undefiled good, versus a malicious, unrepentant evil.
		Despite the changes, however, many of the central themes in professional wrestling are not brand new at all, but they draw from the rhetoric and symbolism of the political arena over the last two decades.

		I'm talking about Booker T's current status on the WWE roster, and whether he is (a) worthy of being a main-eventer, and (b) actually a main-eventer, as he is taking part in one of the marquee matches at WrestleMania XIX.
		While I believe Booker needs to improve his confidence on promos, he definitely has a certain something which is a positive to the fans.
		Of course, it does help that Booker is occasionally very funny, and while his teaming with Goldust halfway through last year could have been seen to be a major step down, it could ultimately be a positive in that Booker's character & entertaining have actually improved.

		Right up until the mid 1980s, pro wrestling in North America was grimy, bloody and earthy; regulated and controlled as a sport and as 'real' and legitimately tough as it could possibly be.
		Wrestling organizations, both live and on TV, were very much regionalized, restricting themselves to their immediate locality and sometimes state.
		Bischoff's largest impact on the North American professional wrestling landscape was the launch of the weekly show WCW Monday Nitro in September 1995.

		I don't say that Russo was the best booker of all time, but he had some concepts that could've worked out, if they had been made with more concentration and thinking.
