10 Signs a new "Wrestling War" is brewing.

#2. Wrestling styles have evolved.

When Vince McMahon was expanding his wrestling empire in the 1980s, he hired people with experience in television and film to help present the WWE in the most TV-friendly format possible.

This led to the development of 'WWE style' of wrestling. In the WWE style, the pace of the match is dictated by available airtime, camera angles, and how it will look on a television screen as much as it is by the wrestlers themselves. WWE matches are often shorter than independent style matches, and feature heels taking rapid multiple bumps to make babyfaces look better.

However, the independent style of wrestling has been catching on with the mainstream audience. Independent style has incorporated a great deal of influence from MMA and Lucha Libre. Matches are longer, more competitive, and heels are often portrayed as being just as competent as their babyface rivals. With more choices on the menu, some wrestling fans may choose to forego WWE in favor of another promotion.
