The way inspired pro-wrestlers who have yet to reach the dream, express their love and passion for wrestling. Usually judged as brutal actions with weapons, it can just as easliy be as competitive as the real thing. www.youtube.com/jcjwrestlingYo

Friends getting together in one backyard, and beating the living shit out of each other, usually complimented by weapons, such as garbage can lids, chairs, and even the occasional 2x4

Term used to describe attempts, usually by kids, to recreate in their own back yards the kind of wrestling seen on television. Often done innocent of the fact that tv wrestling is well-planned and executed choroegraphed theatrical stunts, it can and frequently does lead to broken bones and other serious injury.

Today, this term is generally used to describe a dangerous and therefore stupid form of "fun" practiced by kids trying to emulate the Professional Wrestlers they see on T.V. But, Professional wrestlers are (1) Highly skilled martial artists (2) Professional stuntment (3) Actors. What they do is a performance, not an actual contest. Everything is planned to assure maximum safety for the participants. Of course, as in all sports and stunt work, sometimes professional wrestlers are REALLY injured, but, most of the time, when they appear to be injured, they are not injured at all.

An improper way to wrestle, and backyard wrestling is NOT a path to the professional wrestler.

Something that hurts.

Backyard wrestling is stupid and dangerous and should not be done without proper training. Kids usually end up getting hurt because they practice stunts that can seriously hurt or even kill themselves.
