You often hear that professional wrestling isn’t a real sport, it isn’t the real deal, it’s all fake. Well, I’m here to prove you differently. There are many characteristics in the sport that makes it very real, and a lot of it is geometry related. Anything from the way they execute moves, the way they react to moves, to the ring they wrestle in. It’s all related to how wrestling is proved to be real. You may think, “What does this have to do with anything?” Well, it proves that geometry is very present in all things we do today; even proving that wrestling is a real sport.

One item that proves the way wrestling and geometry are formed is the very present fact that the moves they do are very real. One human lifting another human into their shoulders to swing them around over their head into a move called an “F5” takes a lot of strength. Well, if you think about it, lifting a person over one’s head causes them to be perpendicular. The body standing it perpendicular to the body he has straight out on his shoulders.

As you can see, the wrestler, Brock Lesnar, has the opponent, A-Train, on his shoulders ready to do his signature finishing move, the F5. When Brock does the move, he swings the opponent over his shoulders causing them to be parallel to each other as they both fall backwards to the ground: Brock landing on his back, and the opponent landing on his face and stomach.

Another prime example of the way the moves are executed is a basic suplex. One wrestler by the name of Chris Jericho demonstrates his skills by propping the opponent around his body almost in an 180º motion.
