The History Of Professional Wrestling At A Glance

By Minnie Whitley


Pro fighting is a type of entertainment that is seen it terms of a game and a performing art, it is very common in the Latin America, Europe, North America and Japan. Its scripted form has in most cases been a subject of criticism owing to the fact that it is of a deceiving nature when compared with other fighting games such as boxing, martial arts and amateur brawling. None of the major promoter or wrestler has denied existence of prearranged outcome of matches. A look into the history of professional wrestling is as abridged below.

Tussling grew as a result of the on journey carnival strongman who would in most cases challenge anybody to fight him inside the ring or just last ten minutes. Time later the carnies found out that they could be able to make money by charging entry fee to the crowd that watched the matches rather than rely on the entry fee of the fighters. The fighters identified themselves with fake names and encouraged betting by playing the dislike of crowd.

As the nineteenth century neared its end, organizers put events in arenas just like boxing. For some decades, numerous occasions on grappling got held by dissimilar individual promoters. There was presence of championship belts which held no real authority. The National Wrestling Association was formed in 1901 by promoters and it gave a sole belt for championship.

After the end of world war two, the partition of brawling by the National Wrestling Association resulted into regional leagues. An informal agreement was met on not to tap talent from other undesignated region or enlarge their showground into each other region. The federation in the Northeast called the World Wide Wrestling Federation became a bit defiant; they shortened their identity to World Wrestling Federation and broke the gentleman agreement almost immediately.

The only remaining longstanding area NWA by 1980s was only operational in the Southeast. It was in real fact called the NWA before it got purchased and its name converted to World Championship Wrestling. It was successful in outdoing the WWF and for a period of time it rose to top level as it was able to entice top talents from rival and hence their rating went higher.

The lowest moments in the WWF occurred after various factors including below par conceived storylines and the federal investigation on steroids distribution surrounded it. Ingenious approaches and youthful talented wrestlers came to its aid making it recover. It bought WCW on the period of 2001 and managed its video library, trademarks and wrestlers which made WCW become a history.

Another confederation that had a significant influence on professional tussling was the Extreme Championship Wrestling. It was an insignificant league that gathered fans following through late night broadcasts on local networks that aired sports. It featured grizzly styles with audacious and risky moves that seemed totally insane. It did not last for more than five years before it went bankrupt and taken over by the WWF who adapted their popular grizzly styles.

World Wildlife Fund won a successful court case that saw WWF amend their name to being called World Wrestling Entertainment so as to remove ambiguity that was a result of the acronyms. Absorption of the grizzly styles of fighting in the mainstream has seen the sport attract larger fan bases who are obsessed with the adrenalin packed fights.
