	Shoot (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In professional wrestling, a shoot refers to any event during a show that is unplanned and spontaneous: that is, it is real, not staged.
		Performers who shoot during a wrestling event are often fired, since they cannot be trusted to act according to the bookers' wishes.
		A "true" shoot interview is generally conducted and released by someone other than a wrestling promotion, conducted out of character, usually when a wrestler is interviewed about their career and asked to give their opinion on other wrestlers.

	Work (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Professional wrestlers generally avoid "shoots" at all costs, due to the high probability of sustaining injury, and also because audiences of professional wrestlers generally prefer the exaggerated and theatrical antics of pro wrestling to the calculated striking and grappling of MMA.
		As pro wrestling is staged, virtually everything that is seen during house shows or on televised shows is "a work," also referred to as "scripted" or "fixed." When a non-fan expresses the common "pro wrestling is fake" sentiment, they are referring to its nature as a work.
		In professional wrestling, a work is slang for a staged event (that is, one that enforces kayfabe).

		I’ll be talking both worked and shoot style wrestling with him tonight.
		Although he was never a main event draw, the Mr Wrestling gimmick is one that still endures to this day (with NWA/ TNA using their own version of Mr Wrestling 3).

	This Week in Pro Wrestling: 8/28/03
		Certainly the prevelance of all the shoot style wrestling going on in New Japan's rings are because of his influence.

		Tenzan, with his new look (cutting off one of the last great remaining mullets in wrestling, but for a good new haircut nonetheless) and new finishing hold looks to finally have his night where he wins it all and establishes himself as one of Japan's top stars.

	amy action women's wrestling
		In women's wrestling in mexico in the 1980 and 1990's they have often brought in Japanese women to wrestle for their promotions and a lot of the mexican wrestlers have also worked in Japan.
		Lucha libre was introduced to the WCW cruiserweight division in the 1990's and with it came an in interest in Lucha libre in America, which has probably dropped off again in 2003 as a more solid shoot style starts to take off.
		A simple example of that is their rope work where they will tap each other on the back and run past their opponent at will, for old school wrestling fans that type of cooperation looks too contrived and can take some getting use to when watching.

		GAME was born in Feburary, 1994, when Grant Miller was standing at the bus stop in Los Angeles and the concept of running a legit wrestling promotion for shoot wrestling, submission wrestling and strong-style wrestling (which is not "real" wrestling but professional wrestling) struck him in the head.
		This was one of the most brutal cards GAME has had, which featured a shoot wrestling match where Makoto Muraoka broke his opponents check/nose area with a devasting round-house kick, a Vale Tudo match (punching with gloves permited), and other shoot wrestling matches where Terry Iwakura and Makoto Muraoka shined.

	w d c :: columns - The 'Double A' Report: How Reality Can 'Shoot' Wrestling
		Whilst the term ‘shoot’ technically only applies to the actions of wrestling staff, it must be recognised that crowds can also cause ‘shoots’ by interfering in events, either by attacking a wrestler or throwing items into camera shot, for example.
		What’s more these ‘shoot’ incidences due to their relative rarity serve as fresh entertainment for us, in the same way that film-outtakes are popular and over-time in sports events makes for additional tension.
		Therefore as professional wrestling is staged, virtually everything that is seen during house shows or on televised shows will be a ‘work’.

	ROH: Cornette-Heenan Shoot
		Despite the lack of structure, the shoot video is still a lot of fun and it is a must see for any fan of wrestling, especially fans of Heenan and Cornette.
		Until very recently, managers served an important role in professional wrestling- doing the talking during promos for wrestlers who weren’t much behind the microphone and instigating the fans to the point where they would buy tickets to see the manager and his wrestler get their comeuppance.
		Part of the appeal of a shoot video is that it gives the wrestler a chance to express their true opinion without protecting kayfabe.

	SLAM! Sports - Wrestling - Walkin' that Aisle with Nick Tylwalk: Professional wrestling isn't cool
		Wrestling had wormed its way into the pop culture scene, probably deeper than even back in the '80s when Hulk Hogan headlined the rock 'n' wrestling era.
		The casual fans were starting their gradual matriculation away from wrestling in the fall of 2000, but it still seemed arrogant and a bit snotty of USA to think that it would have more success with original programming (a.k.a.

	Kenichi Yamamoto
		He remains an interesting character though and while he is definitely south of his prime, Kenichi Yamamoto has been a good supporting character in the development of shoot-style wrestling.
		They've been his only wins in shoots, his fights since have been against a variety of opponents who've put him away pretty convincingly.

		Shoot style wrestling in the U.S is a total failure.
		The preceding tirade by Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki just goes to demonstrate not only how bitter and pathetic Antonio Inoki is towards American wrestling fans, but really how in the United States Japanese wrestling, like soccer will always be a colossal bore.
		Maybe the real reason Inoki has chosen to trash American wrestling is because right now, the WWF and WCW have surpassed New Japan to become the two most successful wrestling companies in the world.
