    		Presumably you are talking about American wrestling.
    I can only say that I remember watching British 'all in' wrestling back in the 1960's on ITV (a British TV company) Good old days with Kent Walton doing the commentating and wrestlers with 'real' names, Jackie Pallo, Mick McManus, Mick McMichael etc

    		NHK's TV broadcast of the first international pro-wrestling match, Rikidozan and Kimura Masahiko vs. the Sharp Brothers, in February 1954, triggered a pro-wrestling boom.
