	Real Pro Wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Real Pro Wrestling (also known as RPW) is a concept announced in March 2005 for a new professional league of sport wrestling, similar to the amateur wrestling found in the Olympic Games and at the college and high school level.
		The term "Real" is meant to emphasize that it is professional (meaning the wrestlers are paid money) and it is wrestling, but that it is not professional wrestling in the traditional sense, which features predetermined outcomes and operates under a very different set of rules from amateur wrestling.
		The style of wrestling that is used in RPW is a combination of Freestyle, Folkstyle, Sumo Wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling.

	Martial Arts Planet - Real Pro Wrestling
		If the new "Real Pro Wrestling" does not add submissions to their list of acceptable rules they should not even think of relating themselves to the past glory of warriors like Lewis, Stecher, Pesek, Gotch, Burns and the legendary Lou Thesz, just to name a few.
		If the RPW has matches in which anything except eye gouges and biting are legal, in which there are no time limits and the winner is determined by first two "falls" or when one is unable to continue, then you will be getting close to the world of Ed Lewis.
		I think one of the reasons wrestling matches became worked was because there was a lot to gain from the wrestlers betting on who they knew was going to win.

	Real Pro Wrestling = Infomerical? - No BS Martial Arts
		While that whole issue is another couple articles worth by itself, the solution to the situation was for wrestling to join the modern media age and remove the self-imposed restriction to distancing ourselves from anything remotely resembling theatrical pro wrestling.

		RPW is also working internationally to not just get RPW on television, but to expand the league into other countries.

	Amazon.com: Chokehold: Pro Wrestling's Real Mayhem Outside the Ring: Books: Weldon T. Johnson,Jim Wilson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The only problem with this work is Wilson's view of his own pro wrestling career, as well as the careers of Ron Pope AKA The Magnificent Zulu and Claude "Thunderbolt" Patterson.
		Wilson starts out the book by claiming he was a fan of pro wrestling while he was growing up, saying that he watched it on TV sometimes and went to the live matches twice.
		I am a wrestling historian and fanatic, and an ex-wrestler myself (from the same period that Wilson tried working in the business) and to be honest, if it hadn't been for Wilson's lawsuits and TV expose of wrestling, I don't think that I'd have ever heard of him.
