Best Answer

Wrestling has its own mythology (see figures such as Gorgeous George, Karl Gotch or original 'Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers) but is also informed by other mythologies. For example, wrestling gimmicks have been based on ancient Japanese Shinto spirits, Mexican folk spirits and even modern fictional characters.
