The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Marsha Klein


No other game is as amusing as one in which the results rely solely on agreements made between the competing partners prior to the actual match. It is a match in which evil can out do good and the fans go to sleep in the hope that in the fourth coming match the opposite will occur. Welcome to the history of professional wrestling where a lot of theater skills are put in good use and weaponry doctored to fit in the match.

One wonders why this match has a lot of supports. Some of these may be an answer. First, rules are not abided; a jester is received with joy and is found interesting by fans moreover, these audiences are encouraged to jeer and praise to give morale or demoralize. Where else can one find such a unique sport? However there are those who think otherwise about this sport, they state that this sport tend to promote violence in the society.

Since the 19th century wrestling was a mode of amusement. By this time in Europe it was practiced. Native brawlers were put to task to show their potentials by fighting enclosed in a ring especially in North America region. The game was also boosted by the betting. People from a given town supported their hero this way.

Battle fields had been set aside by the 18th century. These were mostly arenas or a closed field which could hold people to watch. Match timetables had set up. A big favor fell on this game when a body referred to as NWA was created to spear head the match to be embraced all over the countries. This body had the aims of promoting the sport from a regional level to a cooperative movement.

The promoters and sponsors of this sport began recruiting wrestlers as it grew in the huge number of fans rallying behind one of their own or even as a form of entertainment. Of importance was the fact that wrestlers used all means to win. One that caught the eye of every one at the time was the technique of blocking the referee in order to win.

Increased and intense competitions turned out in the 1930s as organizations based regionally fought for not only territories but also talent. The promoters came to agree on definite defined boundaries also at this time as NWA grew to be a bigger. Parties were not allowed to entice talented wrestlers from the competing party.

Today, WWF Company previously called WWE owns the larger share of this unique form of entertainment. Vince MeMahin is the brain behind this enormous achievement. He rendered other competing firms out of business by purchasing all their assets. In addition, he sealed good deals with TV service providers in the 1940s to 1950s who in return aired the matches

Apart from fighting, wrestlers become popular and famous some even are branded superstars. The history of professional wrestling will not fade away but rather continue to flourish as it grows to become one of the most lucrative businesses estimated now to be to a tune of billion dollar worth. With the ever growing number of fans now at 13 million and shown in over hundred countries its worth is something to watch out for.
