Backyard wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Backyard wrestling (or BYW), also used interchangeably with "backyarding", is a loose term used to describe the controversial practice of professional wrestling as performed by untrained fans (usually adolescent males) in an unsanctioned, non-professional environment. |
 | | Nonetheless, some indy wrestlers claim they continue backyarding because, whereas wrestling professionally means being told how, who, and where to wrestle by a booker or promoter, backyarders are their own bookers and promoters and can enjoy the freedom of wrestling their friends however they like for their own recreation. |
 | | Backyard wrestling, and its forefather, professional wrestling, both reached greater popularity during the late 1990s and were the subject of disdain from the media. |
