Barb,
Oh yes, that is in fact almost exactly what it is, a very carefully choreographed "dance" these days in "professional" wrestling. When I was a young teenager, Bruno Sammartino (former champion) was my "idol", and that got me into weight lifting so I could be just like him! (well sort of) <g>
These days, professional sumo wrestling takes the place of all that for me, because at least the matches are real for the most part, and the people don't scream like crazed maniacs looking for blood. (I made the mistake of taking my mother with me to Madison Square Garden in the mid-1960's to see Bruno vs. Gorilla Monsoon, and she was yelling like a nut at the top of her lungs! Oh well, I guess that sort of wrestling is therapeutic) <G> Yogi
