Professional wrestling is a violent form of entertainment, in which actors pretend to be having an athletic contest. In actuality, they are performing a script, and the bout nearly always reaches an argeed-upon outcome. It is not real and is inconsistent with Christian values.

Professional wrestling, or pro wrestling, is the athletic performance, management, and marketing of a form of entertainment that is based on simulated elements of catch wrestling, mock combat and theatre. Modern professional wrestling usually features striking and grappling techniques, which are modelled after diverse sets of global wrestling and pugilistic styles.

Modern professional wrestling is commonly associated within a company (often referred to as a fed or promotion), where the participants create an entertaining show simulating a dueling match. The level of realism may vary from sports entertainment (the American World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion) to stiff style (the Japanese strong style as exemplified by Antonio Inoki) to spotfests. In Mexico the dominant style is the stylized, theatrical Lucha libre.

As opposed to more mainstream combative sporting events like boxing, a professional wrestler's athletic prowess and skills are utilized more for one to cause an injury on the other rather than to protect themselves. In many cases, the victim of an attack in a professional wrestling environment is required to do more athletically than the one performing the attack. If the wrestler absorbing the attack is less skilled or less athletic, he may injure his partner or even himself.
