I wouldn't say to them wrestling is a sport. What I would say is that wrestling is a predetermined athletic competition. The things some wrestlers can accomplish in the ring are amazing...the feats of strength, the dives, etc. I know for sure I could not get into a ring and perform at the level that even say The Brooklyn Brawler or The Ultimate Warrior could. The truth is even some great sports figures could not make the transition from pro football to the ring.
Wrestling is more about the spectacle, rather than the sheer athleticism. There's humor, there's drama, and then there's the matches...not really in that order...
