Until recent times, most armies trained their soldiers, particularly shock troops, in wrestling. Besides the United States, Mexico (Lucha-Libre) and Japan (Puroresu) have garnered the greatest percentage of spectator commercialism under the "professional" label. This led to the scripted shows of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and other companies which in a 1980s court decision that would have led to the same industry regulations as for other professional sports, conceded the open secret that the "sport" was actually a highly physical theatrical performance. Also, the carnival director would often place one of his showmen in the audience to answer the challenge, and the two would provide a predetermined spectacle with the intent of providing an entertaining show for the spectators.

These showmen were well-versed in methods of "hooking" their unknowing opponents into submission using painful holds. Modern-day professional wrestling has its roots in early traveling carnivals, where showmen would challenge local spectators to compete with them in a ring and offer prizes to anybody who could beat them. Such theatrical winning often occurs with the full knowledge of the audience. This is not unlike the often vulgar gladiatorial "competitions" of ancient Rome which included death at the whim or political mindedness of an emperor and his "thumbs-up".

Often the winner of commercial contests is determined in advance but Sumo, Shoot-Wrestling (also in Japan) and Ultimate/Extreme Fighting Championships remain true sporting contests while including many commercial aspects. Such show-wrestling has continued to this day in "professional" wrestling spectaculars — choreographed for maximum visual (and even auditory) effects.

Circus shows worldwide have historically included sideshow wrestling matches involving wagered monies and even people fighting animals (particularly bears). In addition to its sporting nature, wrestling has often been utilized as the basis for popular spectacle, or theatrical drama. Wrestling is possibly the oldest sport known to man and is shown in ancient wall-paintings of man struggling versus man and in the story of Jacob wrestling an angel in the Book of Genesis. Wrestling is often categorized as one of the martial arts; its virile image and usefulness as military training doubtlessly helped generate such multi-cultural evolutions.

Styles include sumo in Japan and yağlı güreş (oiled wrestling) in Turkey. There are almost as many wrestling "styles" as there are national traditions. The aim of a wrestling contest depends upon it's style, but common aims are:-. .
