Backyard wrestling is an offshoot of Professional Wrestling, with one major difference: It's often not done with professionals. Often the creation of a few overenthusiastic wrestling fans and Spot Monkeys, this sport emphasizes Kayfabe, Big Spots and Garbage Wrestling. Several notable pro wrestlers, including The Hardy Boys and Rob Van Dam, got their start in backyard wrestling, but official word from The Big Three is out to discourage the practice (due to liability reasons) and they will not recognize tapes of backyard wrestling as training.

This game has nothing to do with the Backyard Sports series.

As it continues to evolve, the style of backyard wrestling has been transformed into an artistic form of professional wrestling with innovative moves and gimmicks all of its own.
