Women's professional wrestling

Professional wrestling is a dramatic enactment of wrestling as a spectator sport. As is the norm for this sport, women's professional wrestling is organized by wrestling federations called promotions. Some promotions are exclusively for women, while others have separate divisions for women. Among the nations that have women's professional wrestling are Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

In the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship in Mexico, tag teams of one woman and one man compete.

Pro wrestler Madison Eagles and her husband Ryan co-founded the Pro Wrestling Women's Alliance (PWWA) in 2007. This independent promotion is affiliated with Pro Wrestling Alliance Australia, as well as with Shimmer Women Athletes and Global Force Wrestling of the United States.

It is the only all female wrestling promotion in Australia.

In Bolivian, female wrestlers called Fighting Cholitas dress in the traditional clothing of the Aymara people. They are the inspiration for the comic book Super Cholita, which premiered in 2007.

The wrestling circuit Beauty Slammers: Ladies of Wrestling was founded in 2000.

NCW Femmes Fatales is an independent promotion founded in 2009; its headquarters are in Montreal.

In Japan, women's professional wrestling is called 女子プロレス (joshi puroresu^?), or joshi puro for short. Women's wrestling is usually handled by promotions that specialize in joshi puroresu, rather than by divisions of otherwise male-dominated promotions. Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, a men's promotion, had a small women's division that competed with women wrestlers from other promotions.
