Yeah, it does, but it also, it's its own subculture.
Wrestling has a very, very strong cult-like following, a lot of participants, and right now the wrestlers follow their favorite wrestler into mixed martial arts if they decide they want to go and be fighters, but not all wrestlers want to go that route of getting punched in the face and everything else.
