	Sell (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In professional wrestling, the sell is the element of making the action appear to be at least somewhat realistic to the crowd, or at least the marks within the crowd.
		The rise of a significant number of "smarks" (fans who are aware of the staging of pro wrestling and many of its other conventions), has changed the "selling" process somewhat.
		Many smarks consider The Undertaker to be a no-seller especially in the first half of his WWE career, although in his defense, his longtime gimmick of an undead individual has limited his ability to sell while keeping the character believable.

	Professional Wrestling
		As late as the 19th Century, wrestling was a respected and even prestigious sport, a favorite among every strata of society, from peasant to President (Abraham Lincoln was an accomplished wrestler; interestingly, so was Donald Rumsfeld).
		As wrestling carved out its niche on television (with a few false starts along the way), wrestlers began to emerge as personalities, sometimes becoming stars for reasons almost entirely unrelated to their ability to wrestle per se.
		Wrestling had been steadily evolving into a simple morality play — which meant that whenever possible, and especially in high-profile main event matches, the formula was to pit a good and pure wrestler (called a "babyface") against a bad and evil wrestler (known as a "heel").

	Category:Professional wrestling slang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Professional wrestling has accrued a considerable amount of slang, in-references and jargon.
		Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of carnivals, and the slang itself is often referred to as 'carny talk'.
		In recent years, widespread wrestling discussion on the Internet has corrupted and broadened some of these terms.

	Cultural Politics and Professional Wrestling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As professional wrestling enjoys extraordinary success today with the public, scholars of popular culture are left to explain its appeal.
		Wrestling promoters generally, and Vince McMahon specifically, have gone to great lengths to promote a new rebellious image and to break down the old standard of a pure, undefiled good, versus a malicious, unrepentant evil.
		Despite the changes, however, many of the central themes in professional wrestling are not brand new at all, but they draw from the rhetoric and symbolism of the political arena over the last two decades.
