	Kayfabe - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Pro wrestling can trace some of its stylistic origins back to carnivals and Catch Wrestling, where the term "kayfabe" is thought to have originated as carny slang for "protecting the secrets of the business." The term "kayfabe" itself may ultimately originate from the Pig Latin form of "fake" ("ake-fay") or the phrase "be fake."
		Many of the moves employed in wrestling have the potential of inflicting serious injury, and it is the responsibility of wrestlers to protect each other in the ring while appearing to inflict massive amounts of damage (a notion known as selling a move in wrestling circles).
		Hardcore wrestling is an example in which this part of kayfabe is enhanced (yet in a sense, broken) for good effect - that the moves that wrestlers often inflict on each other are legitimate, and should not be used on those who are not trained in wrestling.

		Despite the demise of professional catch wrestling, there were some wrestlers who continued to be trained in the real pro method.

		What I loved most about Catch was the fact that it traced the roots of this unique form of wrestling back to the north of England and the infamous Snake Pit gym which was ran by none other that the legendary Billy Riley.
		Catch contains classic wrestling action and allows you to meet some of the surviving descendants of Lancashire's catch legacy, along with some of the foremost names in world wrestling from the US Olympic Gold medallist Dan Gable to Ultimate Fighting champion Dan Severn, and Japanese Pro wrestling's biggest star, Tatsumi Fujinami.
		Unfortunately, catch wrestling in those regions are being supplanted by other submission wrestling styles from eastern europe and Japan, such as Judo and Sambo.
