LOS ANGELES, California – While professional wrestling may not be real, it’s definitely big business. And one of the biggest revenue generators for pro wrestling today is videogames. The biggest name in “sports entertainment” today – the name clearly explains the matches are choreographed – is World Wrestling Entertainment.
