Things Pro Wrestling and Figure Skating Have in Common


Skaters and Wrestlers ...
  1. Wear tight, revealing custom outfits, often following a specific theme.
  2. Develop signature moves.
  3. Have routines that are carefully choreographed but sometimes improvisation is needed.
  4. Compete on their own, or with a partner.
  5. Perform dangerous jumps and spins, and can be potentially seriously hurt or cut.
  6. Pick up other athletes over their heads and sometimes throw them.
  7. Choose their own music.
  8. Have judging that is very subjective and controversial at times. Some people feel the outcomes are rigged.
  9. Form fierce rivalries and have been known to sabotage one another outside the rink/ring.
  10. Compete for various titles and build a reputation throughout their careers.
  11. Must be strong and agile, but also have a flair for showmanship. 
  12. Sometimes look like they're dancing.
