	DDT (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In professional wrestling a DDT is any move in which the wrestler falls down or backwards to drive a held opponent's head into the mat.
		The classic DDT is performed by putting the opponent in a front facelock and falling backwards so that the opponent is forced to dive forward onto his or her head.
		Implant DDT refers to variations of the DDT where the opponent is driven to the mat face first, as in a faceplant, and not on to their heads.

	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 competing 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 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 (at a time when people like Ken Shamrock were also arriving in the business), where the tap out has always been accepted.

	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).

	Carnival Entertainment:
		Though the sport of grappling itself is ancient, professional wrestling emerged as a spectator "sport" in the carnivals and fairgrounds of America in the early 20th century.
		On the surface, kayfabe was the cornerstone of professional wrestling.
		Professional wrestling also has a great deal in common with the ideological underpinnings of the American carnival tradition, which according to Phillip McGowan "placed the subversive on display" and allowed Americans to define what was normal and what was "Other" (McGowan, 2).

		In professional wrestling, it doesn't, and is used to let the wrestlers in the ring take a breather and talk to each other to plan the next series of moves.
		In wrestling circles, three different variations exist on this move, but the one which actually will cause unconsciousness makes sure the arm under the chin presses against both veins in the neck, while the forehead squeeze presses the temples.
		A battle in a wrestling arena, during a series of wrestling matches, would put a number of people in danger, while providing numerous wrestlers who would love to get into a brawl, no matter what side they are fighting.

	SOLIE'S TUESDAY MORNING REPORT: EXTRA!
		By the late 1880's, American professional wrestlers were traveling to other countries, demonstrating their athletic ability and helping to make professional wrestling somewhat of an international sport.
		By the late 1930's professional wrestling had disappeared from the mainstream; but it was not in danger of extinction.
		The only mention of wrestling on the sports pages were derogatory remarks from 'real athletes' and sports writers."(25) The situation allowed the ideas of the early 30's to settle and stereotypes of professional wrestling fans as working class and foolish became ingrained in popular opinion.

	The Rock (entertainer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along with his father and grandfather, several members of Johnson's family are current and former professional wrestlers, including his uncles, the Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika Anoai), and cousins such as the late former WWF Champion Yokozuna and former WWF Tag Team Champion Rikishi, current wrestler Umaga, and former wrestler Rosey.
		Eventually, Johnson was allowed to turn heel and joined the Nation of Domination (wrestling's version of the Nation of Islam), spewing venom at the fans for turning on him, influenced by Johnson's real-life feelings toward the WWF audience.
		Pro Wrestling Insider has since reported that Johnson and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon are back on good terms, and he will continue to appear sporadically for the company, as he did after becoming a successful actor.

		But Joanie was clearly becoming a bigger star than the women she was wrestling and went professional, all the way to the WWF thanks to her will power, her will to succeed, and two men, Paul Levesque (Triple H) and Shawn Michaels (HBK) who were willing to help her get started.
		While in the WWF Joanie (wrestling under the name of Chyna) was not a cheerleader like all of the other women, she got involved in the matches with men and when she got involved and helped out the other DX members, it was over for the opponents.
		Joanie still makes special appearances at various wrestling events around the world but feels after nearly 10 years of wrestling that it is time to move on to other career endeavors.
