From Wikipedia:
Professional wrestling (often shortened pro wrestling, or simply wrestling) is a mode of spectacle, combining athletics and theatrical performance. It takes the form of events, held by touring companies, which mimic a title match combat sport. The unique form of sport portrayed is fundamentally based onclassical and "catch" wrestling, with modern additions of striking attacks, strength-based holds and throws, and acrobatic maneuvers; much of these derive from the influence of various international martial arts.
But more than anything else professional wrestling is a good excuse to get extremely sad a few times a month when your guy loses or one of the cokeheads you admired as a child passes away.
So who are the major players in this field?
World Wildlife Entertainment is the pre-eminentsports entertainment professional wrestling company in all of the WWE Universe. Best known for their high production values and low fanboy-satisfaction levels, the WWE is the main focus of the Neogaf wrestling threads.
Pictured above is current WWE champion and future Oscar contender Dwayne Rocky Maivia Johnson, best known for his role in the 2005s sequel to Get Shorty, Be Cool.
WWEs secondary World Champion is thevillainous heroic Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio is a wealthy businessman respected luchadore who is hated cheered for his Mexican heritage, his wealth philanthropy, and for the abuse friendship of his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez.
In February the WWE presents the Elimination Pay-Per-View. Wherein there are two matches where six competitors battle for the top prizes of the WWE, this wont happen this year because they wont put a movie star in a dangerous match but it usually doesnt matter anyway because the Wrestlemania line-up is already set. On a personal note I would rather this pay-per-view were moved to where Extreme rules is so that we stop getting a rehash of Wrestlemania at that show and they use the opportunity to actually shake things up. But Im pretty fucking stupid.
Thith yearth competitorth will include a returning Jack Thwagger who will attempt to win hith thecond World Heavyweight Championthip.
It will also feature WWE Champion The Rock taking on former World champion/gas jockey CM Punk.
Also expected to appear are diverticulitis survivor Bork Laser, 2016 Presidential candidate Bo Dallas, and Ryan Ryback Back.

Tell me more about the NeoGAF wrestling community:
Okay!
According to recent scientific polling data WrassleGAF does not enjoy the WWE product, they disliked the Rumble and think Raw was better at this time last yearback when it was all about John Cena and The Rock. Despite this they will overwhelmingly come together to watch Wrestlemania, WWEs annual Mania of Wrestling.
NeoGAFs two favourite wrestlers at the moment are Antonio Cesaro and CM Punk. Antonio Cesaro is the Swiss born United States Champion who hates Americans with a passion, CM Punk hates all of his fans an d thinks youre stupid for liking him.
From all of this we can determine that NeoGAF is a pit of self loathing.
Enjoy your stay.
