In professional wrestling, wrestlers are similarly introduced, though usually before or as they come to the ring (the weight of each female wrestler is unannounced in most promotions).

In boxing and MMA, this is usually limited to the number of scheduled rounds and the length of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
