	Women and Professional Wrestling - Wrestling
		From the 1930’s to the 1960’s, pro wrestling was a male dominated sport both in the ring and out.
		It has gone from actual wrestling to bra and panties matches and lingerie pillow fight matches and they are supposed to be role models for young girls and women everywhere.
		In today’s landscape of wrestling, wrestling ability for women is not as important as being able to model in men’s’ magazines and look good in a bathing suit.

	Mark (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mark is a professional wrestling fan who believes that everything associated with pro wrestling is real, rather than recognizing the existence of kayfabe (that is, it is a work).
		That rival wrestling organizations do not exist (especially if they are not acknowledged by announcers), and that the career of a veteran wrestler who is new to a promotion does not exist.
		The term mark derives from pro wrestling's early days as a carnival sideshow, where those who were unaware or not privy to the workings of the business were seen as gullible 'marks' who would believe anything they were told.

		A "smart" is a person who is privy to the behind-the-scenes operations and understands that professional wrestling is choreographed, whereas a "mark" is one who believes that professional wrestling is real.
		Smarks are a subset of the professional wrestling fanbase.
		Smarks have been looked down upon by wrestlers and other wrestling fans alike because they are seen as fans who are incapable of suspending their disbelief.

		Mark Twain drew the prototype in Life on the Mississippi in the fighter named "Sudden Death and General Desolation," whose boasting was nearly as effective as his strength in defeating his opponents.
		Wrestling was a staple of early television broadcasts, especially for smaller stations seeking cheap programming that could appeal to family audiences.
		Wrestling's burlesque antics, invisible on radio, were well suited to the new visual medium, and television promoted the stylized violence and outrageous characters that came to dominate the sport.

	Occasionally Wright: Wrestling With Reality (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the world of professional wrestling few things are certain, but one thing that is known is that the outcomes of matches are predetermined.
		Some of the themes Ball examines are the history of professional wrestling, the demographic breakdown of the audience, the stereotypes that are used and promoted in wrestling and the ideologies promoted by professional wrestling-- which he states are often the ideologies of the dominant upper-class society.
		Some of the many themes discussed by Mazer are wrestling terminology (which is a major part of the wrestling subculture), the wrestling subculture itself, the role of women in wrestling (both as valets and wrestlers), and the role of the fan in professional wrestling.

	Plant (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Another famous plant was Jamison, who spoofed the dyed-in-the-wool mark wrestling fan in 1991 at WWF events.
		Sometimes, these plants are elderly women who are hired by a wrestling promoter to heckle heel wrestlers.

	Wrestling needs respect
		Professional wrestling was one of the first things to ever air on television.
		Professional wrestlers are the working-class superstars of professional sports and are without a doubt the greatest athletes in the world.
		One day, mark my words, when these other sports franchises have run their courses and they either go bankrupt or meld into one large conglomerate of overpriced tickets, jerseys and athletes, professional wrestling will still be alive and well, just like it has been for centuries.

		Mark debuted as "Mean Mark Callous", and remained unimpressively stuck in the mid-card ranks until one half of the Skyscrapers, Sid Vicious, was sidelined with a punctured lung.
		Mark was not the first performer to turn to drugs and alcohol to help him deal with the relentless lifestyle, and he would not be the last.
		I’d watched professional wrestling in passing on and off through the years when I was growing up, but never made a concerted effort to catch a particular event or match until I happened to be watching at a friend’s house when the Undertaker made his debut.

	Dover Youth Recreation Wrestling: Our Wrestling News
		Wrestling is often referred to as the toughest sport, and in many ways it is, but it is certainly not violent, nor does it lead to unruly or destructive behavior.
		Wrestling skills are an enormous asset in a schoolyard brawl or even a street fight, however, wrestling's non-violent nature does not prepare one for other aspects of self-defense such as disabling or disarming an assailant.
		Wrestling was later popular in Greek and Egyptian culture, and is prevalent in the architecture of many temples and tombs.

	Professional Wrestling - Television Tropes & Idioms
		The history of pro wrestling is a bit convoluted; until the late '80s/early '90s, promoters claimed that wrestling was a legitimate sport, and attempted to hide the fact that it was scripted at all costs.
		As more and more wrestling fans grew wise to the fact that wrestling was scripted and choreographed, promoters had no choice but to reveal the secret that everybody already knew by that point anyway.
		If that isn't enough to convince those who still think Professional Wrestling is truly a sport, the WWE and other organizations have admitted on the public record in several states that they are "entertainment" and not sporting events, in order to avoid exorbitant insurance fees.

	WU :\|: Wrestling Unlimited
		The term ‘mark’ is derived the early days of professional wrestling in carnivals, where naïve fans were seen as marks ready for grifting.
		The Internet’s awakening of the professional wrestling fan base hasn’t just spread to the interaction between fans, but as the said fans accumulated influence in numbers, the effect of their presence has gone far beyond a few uncharacteristic chants on the shows.
		In smaller promotions, vendettas brewed in professional wrestling message boards, are played upon and brought to life in the ring, the implication being that the storylines are already developed, and the line between face and heel have already been drawn by the fans themselves.

	UnBooks:Professional wrestling slang - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Professional wrestling is a rich, ancient culture that has been making a comeback in the last century.
		Professional Wrestling slang was first taught by George Bernard Shaw in 1908 when he lost a thumb wrestling contest to Oscar Wilde, who distracted him with what he first percieved as complete and utter gibberish.
		This led George Carlin to renounce his anti-professional wrestling slang ways permanently when he observed this at the six-hour WWE event "No Way Out" in which Scott Steiner was tricked into taking laxatives instead of steroids, and tried to find the way out.

		I'll have to thank him for that because the success of Champions of the Galaxy is due in part to the continued popularity of professional wrestling.
		It was a time when the grey area of whether wrestling was real or not had not yet been explored by the public and the Sheik played on that confusion to the limit.

	Urban Dictionary: wrestling
		Wrestling is called gay by many people only because they know that their sport is nowhere near as difficult as wrestling.
		They call wrestling gay because they don't want to admit that the reason they don't wrestle is because they're lazy and afraid of the pain.
		Wrestling is no more "gayer" than football, basketball, swimming, baseball...etc. Wrestlers work as hard as, probably harder, than any of the competers in the above sports.

		While the defense called expert a witness to testify that Tate did not understand the difference between simulated and actual violence, the prosecution struck back with a witness of their own who claimed that the boy was old enough to make such distinctions.
