There's nothing else in the world of sport or pantomime to compare with the manic mat mayhem of pro wrestling, which amalgamates high-flying stunts with melodrama, spandex, bodybuilding and blood - and sometimes it gets really weird. Wrestling's 101 Strangest Matches scours 100 years of history to reveal bouts that bordered on the unbelievable.
