A case in point is Real Pro Wrestling, an American professional league that dissolved in 2007 after just two seasons.
Authentic wrestling forms have never been popular enough with Americans to sustain a professional league (and there is no clear reason as to why ). In the United States, authentic wrestling is generally practiced in an amateur context no professional league for authentic wrestling exists.
Nevertheless, the wrestlers kept pretending the matches were real competitions, and the fans played along-this is a tradition known as kayfabe. Professional wrestlers responded by adding melodrama, gimmickry, and outlandish stuntwork to their performances to further raise the entertainment. Americans eventually came to accept professional wrestling as a performance art, fundamentally because it was more entertaining when faked. Professional wrestling as a form of theater evolved out of the commonplace practice of match fixing among American wrestlers stretching back to the late 19th century. While the ring is the main stage, additional scenes may be recorded for television in the backstage areas of the venue, in a format similar to reality television. The storylines are typically based around interpersonal conflicts between good-natured "faces" and villainous "heels".
Professional wrestling is an athletic form of theater that revolves around mock combat performed in a squared ring.
