By that logic, there are any number of things that could be considered a sport.

I think the important thing to remember, is that just because pro wrestling is not a sport, that fact doesn't diminish the extraordinary performances that take place in the ring.

So, while I wouldn't classify it as a sport, I don't see why that should even matter.
