Angle (professional wrestling)

In professional wrestling, an angle is a fictional storyline (the wrestler Kurt Angle's name is a coincidence).

The scope and variety of angles vary widely. An angle may be as small as a single match or a vendetta that lasts for years. In addition, an angle may be a part of a feud, or a feud part of an angle. Angles may often lead from one to another. The term angle implies an insight into a wrestler's gimmick; however the term dates back from when wrestling was a touring carnival sideshow, so this is unlikely.

During a wrestler's career, he may take part in very many angles, which are often inconsistent, implausible and reused from one wrestler to the next (see kayfabe).
