10 Predictions about Pro Wrestling's future.

3. A new 'wrestling war' will be fought.

New Japan has been making major inroads into the US wrestling circuit, long dominated by the WWE.

With the advent of digital streaming, pro wrestling has reached a new renaissance. No longer do promotions have to deal with fickle cable television networks or lack of sponsorship. Now, wrestling can be consumed in more ways than ever by more different types of people than ever.

This has led to a surge of competition for the globally dominant WWE. New Japan, Ring of Honor, Impact, and Lucha Underground are all making a serious bid for WWE's fandom. In particular, WWE seems worried about ROH, who they have locked out from a show in Madison Square Garden. The animosity will eventually lead to head to head competition, just like during the Monday Night War.

4. Smaller, quicker wrestlers will replace the big men.

Ten years ago, no one would have believed that the top wrestler in WWE would be a man under six feet tall, but that is just what has happened with AJ Styles.

And he's not alone. Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, and even the Miz don't fit the huge and muscular stereotype that has fit so many previous WWE champions like the Rock, Triple H, and Hulk Hogan. Wrestling has become quicker and more exciting, and the plodding heavyweights of yesteryear will slowly be replaced.
