Way Back The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Imelda Reid


Every person is given a set of different abilities and gifts. Though each has a different ability or gift, there is always a purpose behind the matter. But then, there is always this matter with humans which just cannot get to accept this fact. That is why in this world where humans dwell, you will see the evident clamor for satisfaction especially for superiority.

And taking into account the dissatisfaction of people, there is a touch in everything which existed in the world. Just like for instance, you will see some individuals who are desperate to have riches, beauty, fame, and influence. But actually, all of these things lead to only one thing. That thing is no other than power. Such is the concept with the wrestling sport even before the history of professional wrestling took place.

Basically, wrestling is a physical combat which people from before used as a defense to physical assaults. But now, it has turned into a professional sport which showcases who is more superior between the two players in terms of strength and ability. That is why given this concept, the contenders are focused on defeating their opponent.

That is why if you watch this kind of sport on the stage, you have to be a person who loves to see other people get hurt because if you are soft hearted, you will surely faint. This kind of sport is actually brutal and very violent. Just imagine yourself burning with rage while quarreling with your enemy and you do whatever violent thing you want to do with your enemy.

For the modern world, where things like that, have been diminished, this is already quite uncomfortable to look at. But then the only good thing about this is that there are no weapons used, only physical strength. Like the hero in the English folk tale Beowulf, the contenders will just have to make use of your bare hands and body to defeat their opponent.

It is actually just a portrayal of how normal people fight. But you can say, that the move applied by the players is in the level of intense hatred. You will see them using all sorts of grappling techniques such as pinning, clinching, throwing, take downs, and other kinds of holds and styles which they can use to take down their opponent.

There is a wide range of styles with different rules. Every style has its own origin which were taken from both historic and modern influences. With this, its style has been incorporated into some martial arts and military hand to hand fighting style. So to speak, this sport is one of the oldest forms of combat. From the way it is done, you will see that it is the most intuitive action of human defense.

This endeavor has actually been acknowledged as one of the oldest forms of combating endeavor. Even some literary references like Iliad can attest to it. In this, Homer cited the Trojan War which occurred in the twelfth or in the thirteenth century. Aside from that, it has been identified through the drawings found in a cave fifteen years ago.

And this time, it has already evolved to a formidable sport and a performing art. Now, it is very popular entertainment in Latin and North America, Japan, and Europe. From being a folk sport, it became a professional sport in the twentieth century, emerging from two dominant styles which are the Greco Roman and freestyle.
