You might think people watch wrestling for the bodyslams and the pile drivers, but it's actually what happens outside of the ring that makes wrestling fun to watch.

The characters and storylines that wrestlers craft are epic, dramatic, and engrossing. Wrestling is like one big play, with the ring being the stage.

You can see this best illustrated in wrestler's entrances, which often employ music, costumes, props, and even vehicles to push their stories forward. And wrestlers often try to maintain the illusion that their characters are real at all times, something that's called "kayfabe".
