HI! Mar here, this post is just about professional wrestling in general, and hopefully, some of you guys may find it interesting to watch it yourself :D
!!! WARNING AS THERE IS BLOOD TO SHOW OFF SOME EXAMPLES/MATCHES !!!
PROFESSIONAL WRASSLIN'
At first, probably from reading this, you might say "isn't wrestling fake?" Although at first, you might scratch your head, but it isn't as fake as you might think. Wrestling is like another form of theatre, everything is fictional, you are seeing characters take action and interact with each other. But instead of regular theatre, it is guys (or gals) hitting each other with suplexes or hitting each other with steel chairs.
All the things they do have a story, they all play a character, but the moves they do are indeed real. It could even get pretty sick, like for example, Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door 2023, a match so crazy it could be hard to say whether it was fake at all.
ouch!
THE WRESTLING SHOWS
There are many televised (or streaming) wrestling shows, but being in the US, it is a chore as streaming services separate many of these shows (if you don't have cable tv).
But, the shows I mainly watch are WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and AEW (All Elite Wrestling). Those two shows have a huge difference, as WWE favors their storytelling, and the matches being the closer of those stories/rivalries, while AEW lets the matches do the storytelling, usually making banger after bangers with their matches.
There is also Japan's NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling), where they also focus on their matches, but making it feel more like a sport of two wrestlers duking it out.
In the US, It is a bit difficult to watch these shows as most of them are stuck in streaming services, or if you don't have cable tv, but there is other methods to watching these live. :3
THE WRESTLERS
Now, it can't be professional wrestling without the wrestlers! Most of the audience can fall in love with these guys, supporting them no matter what, and it is for their promos, segments, and also the matches.
Here are my favorites:
IYO SKY:
The Genius of the Sky!! First being around Japan & Mexico, getting signed to female-only wrestling company STARDOM, now in the WWE, she is currently the Women's World Heavyweight Champion after winning against Rhea Ripley, she is set to defend her title at the biggest PPV of WWE's PPVs, WrestleMania.
KENNY OMEGA:
Originally from the indies, then signed to NJPW and become the 3rd leader of faction Bullet Club, he is currently in AEW making banger matches when he shows up. Winning titles from the US, Mexico, and Japan, he is one of the best wrestlers to do it.
THE MATCHES
These are some of the matches I recommend to watch :)
(sadly can't link them except for one match)
Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship

DAMAGE CTRL (Bayley, Iyo Sky, Kairi Sane, & Asuka) vs. Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, & Shotzi
