	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).

	Piledriver (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A piledriver is a professional wrestling driver move in which the wrestler grabs his/her opponent, turns him/her upside-down, and drops into a sitting or kneeling position, driving the opponent's head into the mat.
		It is also considered an automatic disqualification in pro wrestling matches held in Memphis, Tennessee as the move is banned in that city (Ironically Jerry Lawler, a wrestler and promoter in that city, uses a piledriver as one of his finishing moves).
		In this variation, the setup is almost the same as a Texas piledriver, but instead of grabbing the waist of the opponent, the wrestler puts their arms underneath the opponent's arms and grabs their legs by the knees.

	The Sport Journal: Volume6, Number3,Summer 2003:The Effect Of Professional Wrestling Viewership On Children
		Throughout much of the 20th century, professional wrestling was thought of as a legitimate sport contest, that being a contest in which the outcome is not predetermined.
		This research seeks to examine the issues surrounding the fact that while the majority of pro wrestling’s audience is indeed the young male adult, a significant portion of its audience has been and remains children between the ages of two and 17.
		Regular consumption (viewing) of pro wrestling, then, has the power to teach children cognitive scripts such as how to handle conflict situations (violence is the norm in pro wrestling), and how to view the opposite sex (i.e., through watching wrestling, boys might learn to view girls primarily as sex objects).

		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.

		Professional wrestling is as much about acting and showmanship as it is about athletic ability.
		To be a good professional wrestler, you need to have as much charisma and stage presence, as you do strength and athleticism.
		Keep in mind that professional wrestling is VERY different from real wrestling, in which headlocks, suplexes and piledrivers are not allowed.

	The Sport Journal, THE EFFECT OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING VIEWERSHIP ON CHILDREN
		The fourth series consisted of questions asking teachers to rate the extent to which their students imitate pro wrestling (wrestling moves, aggressive/vulgar language, aggressive/vulgar gestures, language or behaviors which carry sexual connotations).
		Teacher attitude toward pro wrestling was directly assessed by asking them to indicate the extent of their agreement with the global statement “I like professional wrestling” on a seven-point likert-type scale (1 = strongly disagree; 7 = strongly agree).
		Teachers were asked to indicate whether they have observed students involved in wrestling imitation suffer injury as the result of the imitation.

		But professional wrestling is older than Bob Dole, bigger than Scientology, and now -- as the World Wrestling Federation's Wrestlemania XIV stomps into the FleetCenter this Sunday -- it's in our back yard.
		Wrestling may be a silicone sport, but it still requires serious skills.
		Since the average wrestling fan isn't too comfortable with what this might mean, wrestling creates lightning-rod characters like "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who in the late '80s wore a Freddy Mercury mustache, made strutting entrances to stripper's music, and swiveled his hips seductively.

	Professional wrestling throws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of the action in professional wrestling involves the application of techniques that involve lifting the opponent up and throwing or slamming him/her down.
		Professional wrestlers frequently give their "finisher" (signature moves that usually result in a win) new names that reflect their gimmick.
		A Piledriver is any move in which the wrestler grabs his/her opponent, turns him/her upside-down, and drops into a sitting or kneeling position, driving the opponent's head into the mat.

		Professional wrestling may unwittingly share iconography with cabaret drag, but politically it's not in the same area code.
		"Wrestling is completely different when you see it at a bar, where you're close enough that you can see the punches missing," Hagen contends.
		The linchpin of the political message is the unique nexus wrestling sets up between fiction and reality, in which storylines are sacrosanct and the ultimate betrayal is "getting real" with an onstage opponent.

	Tom Filsinger speaks out about professional wrestling and the place of his Legends of Wrestling game in the scheme of ...
		The Legends of Wrestling card game has been a labor of love for me. From its conception (it could be argued that the game was conceived over 25 years ago, but that's another story) it's been clear to me that Legends could not have been created without the incredible support of many people.
		My love for professional wrestling began when I watched the NWF (Cleveland area federation owned by Pedro Martinez, I believe) and Detroit wrestling (owned by the original Sheik) in the late 60's and early 70's.
		The power of professional wrestling is that if you let it, professional wrestling will engulf you in a world of drama and wonder.
