Midget wrestling Midget wrestling can be traced to professional wrestling's carnival and vaudeville origins.

It is a "triumph" if the face wins, while it is a "tragedy" if the heel wins. The characters usually have strong and sharp personalities. The opposition between faces and heels is very intense in the story, and the heels may even attack the faces during
