0 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.

To be more specific, it is like seeing two heated enemies quarrel on stage just like roosters on a cock fight. But the good thing with this is that even if the fight is brutal, there is no involvement of weapons. Both players just have to battle each other like Beowulf.

With this, can use any kind of grappling techniques just like throwing, pinning, joint locks, clinching, and any other kind of grappling holds. Actually, this sport is good for only two contenders. But at certain occasions, more competitors will do. As long as the goal of getting the superior position among the others is fulfilled, then one can become the winner.

With this, you can see that it is very different from other combat sports like kung fu, karate, fencing, and boxing. But some of the styles in this sport are actually infused in some forms of martial arts and military hand to hand combat. Basically, the moves in wrestling is practically what an enraged person will do in response for defense.

You can attest to this due to the references it has in literature. One proven existence of this endeavor in the early years is the Iliad where Homer recounted the happenings in the Trojan War during the twelfth or thirteenth century. Actually, the origin of this endeavor has been known from the cave drawings which have been identified to have dated back fifteen thousand years back.

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.
