It’s a well-known fact that overly theatrical world of professional wrestling is scripted and the winners of matches are pre-determined. But despite what you may think, it's not completely fake. Just ask the superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment, who occasionally employ real blows against their foes when doing battle in...

Hispanics everywhere hate RJ Brewer. And he loves every minute of it. As one of the biggest villains on MTV2’s Mexican-style wrestling show Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors, the 32-year-old grappler has been showered with trash, boos, and practically every single Spanish vulgarity imaginable. It ain’t surprising, considering the 6-foot,...

Comparing professional wrestling to soap opera shenanigans is pretty played out. Considering how top brawlers creep into TV, film, and pop culture, it might be more accurate to think of World Wrestling Entertainment as Saturday Night Live with beefy brawlers. That similarity intact, the RAW Super Show on Monday, January...

Professional wrestling is a big ticket these days, but it’s also a dangerous game. Sold-out arenas around the country showcase muscle-bound “sports entertainers” high-diving from the top rope, smashing each other with the nearest folding chair, or knocking out the seemingly oblivious referee. The fighting frenzy continues at Elite Xtreme...

"KICK HIS ASS, DAD!" It was Saturday afternoon in the arena at El Gran Mercado, and the young woman next to me was maniacally snapping photos and cheering on her father, a bald, tattooed, grizzly pro wrestler named Hatchet Jack. He was in the wrestling ring with five other guys,...

He measures around 3-foot-6, likes wearing quaint green outfits on Saint Patrick's Day, and is a bit of a devilish trickster. Nope, we ain't referring to the WWE's Hornswoggle or even that evil lil' bastard from the Leprechaun flicks, but rather Chuey the Rock 'n' Roll Midget. The 29-year-old lascivious...
