Professional Wrestling/Pro Wrestling/Lucha Libre is a form of athletic - action theater art show centered around mock combat, with the premise that its the artists/performers are competitive wrestlers. The concept is similar with Wushu Taolu, using choreograped martial art/fighting moves for art performance show.
Professional wrestling did not have one single creator, it grew from 19th century European carnivals and traveling circus - theatre shows. The trio Pro Wrestling promoters known as The Gold Dust Trio (Ed "Strangler" Lewis, Billy Sandow and Toots Mondt) was important figures who revolutionized Pro Wrestling in the 1920s into modern sports entertainment we knew today.
