message: The statement "The origins of wrestling go back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France" requires a citation, but you won't find any respectable scholarly work that supports this view, not even close. Kileytoo (talk) 19:37, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Please change "[citation needed]" in "The settlers also found wrestling to be popular among Native Americans.[citation needed]" and reference page 123 of The Native American Identity in Sports: Creating and Preserving a Culture By Frank A. Salamone. Page 123 confirms the statement aforementioned in the wiki article, stating "There are accounts of Native American wrestling reaching back to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Native Americans." (Salamone, 123).

message: "Professional competitive wrestling is uncommon.[citation needed]" - I'm not even sure what that statement means. If it means that 'grecko-roman' or other styles of wrestling are scarcely deemed to be professional; I wouldn't agree; as I cannot find a single reference to a match that was deemed to be professional. If it means that professional wrestling is uncommon, this is also untrue. It's also not true that competition in professional wrestling is uncommon; as there are "shoot" professional wrestling matches.
The article also mentions 'Anglo-American' Wrestling, as the title for traditional professional wrestling. Professional wrestling originated from Europe; and owes it's history a lot more to Joint Promotions; than America. I feel as though this part of the article is very POV against pro wrestling. It also can't be said that GFW, ROH and WWE organise professional wrestling; as that would imply that they are governing bodies; wheras they are independent companies (Even with worldwide appeal). They have no organisation over other wrestling in the country, other than those that they are affilated with (Say, EVOLVE). Lee Vilenski(talk) 15:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I have tagged the following line  This line is unsourced and as far as I can tell its inaccurate. What makes it an alternate version? There may be some moves that cross over but to say its an alternate version is extremely misleading. A ladder match involves zero traditional wrestling holds or techniques but is considered professional wrestling. One is an athletic competition the other is scripted entertainment. Saying its an alternate version is a stretch and misleading. - GalatzTalk 15:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

message: how can you say it's all a sport and not a martial art. this seems deeply biased. i do wrestling as a martial art, not a sport, and i assure you, it is wrestling, nothing else, and definitely an art not a sport.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.175.235 (talk) 09:21, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

message: The article has several places where one or  more wrestling stars are listed.  This is good.  But, each wrestler is in the game for a limited time, years or decades.  Sampling less than a dozen of them, I see Debut dates from 1934 thru 2000, with some lasting more than 30 years.  
Given that Wikipedia pages will exist for decades or centuries into the future, each star should be labeled with some approximate idea of when they were wrestling, or when they were popular, eg (early 1960s) or (1930s - 1970s).  Doesn't have to be very precise; I just want to know why nobody's talking about Shohei Baba anymore (retired 1998; died 1999) when I read it in 2030.

message: Hi,
As the page is quite cluttered I propose having a gallery for the 'History' section. The majority of the historical images can be put into the gallery which will mean that the page is tidier and easier to read through. The modern day photos seem more or less fine where they are so I do not think there is a need for a modern gallery. Any suggestions or objections? Thanks.RickyBennison (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
