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.

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.
