Is Pro Wrestling the same as major Theatre?

This is straight from the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority Laws and Regulations.

Kentucky Revised Statutes

229.011 Definitions for chapter.
As used in this chapter unless the context clearly indicates otherwise the following definitions shall apply:
(1) "Advertise" includes the use of handbills, placards, posters, billboards, pictures, printed or written material or newspapers or other publications, or radio, television, Internet, and other communication media;
(2) "Authority" means the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority;
(3) "Boxing" means a contest or exhibition in which a person delivers blows with the fist which may be reasonably expected to disable or inflict injury and in which boxers compete for money, a prize, or other pecuniary gain;
(4) "Exhibition," means an event or engagement in which the participants show or display their skills without necessarily striving to win or involve amateurs not under the jurisdiction of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Amateur Athletic Union, Golden Gloves, USA Boxing, USA Wrestling, or a public show to which an admission ticket is required, or other charge is made, or invitation;
(5) "Kickboxing" means a boxing contest or exhibition where the participants are allowed to throw kicks or foot blows at the opponent in addition to punching with the hands and in which kickboxers compete for money, a prize, or other pecuniary gain;
(6) "Mixed martial arts" means any form of unarmed contest or exhibition in which participants compete for money, a prize, or other pecuniary gain, or for which admission or donations are collected from the audience. Mixed martial arts may include any element or combination of elements of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, or other martial arts. Exhibitions where participants are judged on form and style and where punches and kicks are pulled shall not be included in this definition;
(7) "Person" includes an individual, partnership, corporation, association or club;
(8) "Professional" is a boxer, kickboxer, mixed martial arts contestant, or wrestler who competes for a money prize, or other pecuniary gain;
(9) "Show" means any organized grouping of boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, or wrestling matches, contests, or exhibitions coming under the jurisdiction of the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority; and
(10) "Professional wrestling" means an activity or performance of athletic and wrestling skill between individuals who are not under the jurisdiction of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or USA Wrestling, in which the participants struggle hand-to-hand primarily for the purpose of providing entertainment to spectators rather than conducting a bona fide athletic contest. The outcome of these matches may be predetermined. Participating wrestlers may not be required to use their best efforts in order to win.


And No.... Stardust and myself are not in an argument. I'm actually enjoying this discussion. Stardust has way more knowledge than I do about pro wrestling. Heck, I'm feeling smarter everytime he replies back and makes me have to do some research.
