0 The History Of Professional Wrestling On Earth

By Eugenia Dickerson


The history of professional wrestling is long and detailed as captured in some ancient documentaries and literary references. Professional fighting evolved over time to become what it is today. Currently professional fighting is a full time job as opposed to ancient times when it was treated as a leisure activity. Fighting as a leisure activity existed in several different communities. It formed a crucial part of several festivals and ceremonies including initiation.

Cave drawings found in countries like France, Egypt, and Babylon date back in thirtieth century. The drawings depicted some of the holds used in current sport. It was a source of entertainment for various royal families including kings, queens, princesses, and paramount chiefs. Back then fighters fought fellow human beings and even beasts such as aggressive bulls.

The outcome of present staged combat is prearranged unlike before. Most competitions are arranged by bodies like WWE meaning World Wrestling Entertainment and International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles shortened as FILA. These organizations are made up of technical teams whose work is to be creative. They start and develop staged stories like disputes amongst fighters to make the bouts interesting and leave viewers in anxiety to encourage watching.

Professional fighting in certain countries like Mexico and Japan do not observe a given plot. The bouts are real competitions with no prearranged outcomes. Bouts in such countries are livelier since fighters have the freedom of using every tactic including submission holds and martial art strikes. This renders the bouts dangerous as wrestlers are likely to pick injuries or get hurt.

One way of reducing cases of injury in this sport is passing laws that require wrestlers to put a protective gear before stepping in the ring. The protective gears may include masks and hand gloves. The masks must have an inner layer of sponges or cushions for protection against the impact of blows. It also reduces chances of wrestlers sustaining basilar skull fracture.

The current and modified rules emphasize on skills rather than physical strength. Winning is based on the number of times that the wrestler will pin their opponent on the mat. This game is for both genders. Some of the techniques used in this sport are taught to members of the military and police as part of training. The skills acquired give them a better chance against their opponents in case of self defense.

Professional wrestling has several levels, which wrestlers strive to accomplish. Every level is signified by some kind of belt, which is given to the winner. Wrestling is known all over the globe because it occurs among Olympic Games and sports. During such competitions wrestlers of all ages and levels are included and the champion in every category is rewarded by the organizing bodies.

The history of professional wrestling includes revolution and introduction of new styles and laws in combat sport. As a form of combat sport it involves grappling techniques like takedowns, pins, grappling holds, clinch fighting, and joint locks. Historic, traditional and current styles are allowed in certain categories where the rules allow. This sport borrows greatly from martial art. It allows partnership between wrestlers in certain categories.
