The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Marsha Klein


The history of professional wrestling is so important to the wrestlers and to all the people who find this sport interesting. It is the only game where match outcomes are planned before the actual play. This could imply that good may have down play evil or vice versa. A lot of skills are employed in this game ranging from theater inputs to sophisticated weaponry. Whether evil wins over good or the opposite happens fans are always reassured of a next time.

A lot of reasons can explain why the large number of fans, but nothing does it better than the game itself. Rules here are meant to be broken, lying to win is a strategy worth an applause and vibrant audience who have the freedom to mock and cheer at the same time. Those against such a game on grounds that violence is encouraged should ask themselves why the crowds behind this don't fight each other as seen in other sports.

Wrestling had become a kind of entertainment especially by the 19th century especially in Europe where it was already taking root. Brawlers from the local communities were dared to show case strength by wrestling in the ring. This was happening mostly in Northern America where betting had come in to promote the game further. Bets were done by people from a common town in a way to sustain a hero from their region.

18th century can be described as a period where arenas were allocated entirely for wrestling. During this period also, matches were organized into specific schedules. This was also further favored by formation of a body called NWA which marketed this match all over and fostered the regionalized sporting activity into becoming a dynamic cooperative entity.

It was not until 1920s when first matches were characterized by signature movements and time limitation. Promoters and sponsors began to hire wrestlers on contract basis. New methods of winning were also arising, for example a referee could be distracted. Stories about the matches were put on air insinuating a return match which kept the fans looking forward to it.

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

As wrestlers rise to superstars so does the history of professional wrestling. Not only does it build the wrestlers but also promotes business in such a sport which combines and exploits a lot of talent. With the number of funs growing each year, this sport has yet to reach its peak economically.
