Years Before The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Imelda Reid


Humans are really vulnerable beings. Each person has different gifts and abilities. If they differ to superiority, desirability, and attractiveness, there always lie a purpose which makes everything equal. But even with this, humans always have this weak point. And that is to aspire for something greater than what they have. That is why in the society where humans live, this fact is very evident.

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.

When you say wrestling, you will see a very heated fight which showcases the physical power of each contender. As per the nature of the competition, there is no room for giving way. Each of the contestants really need to fight with all their might. Not to mention, the goal of the sport is to show who among the two is stronger and more powerful.

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.

The same thing happens on the stage where wrestlers play. But thank goodness that even if the battle is brutal, it does not involve any use of weapon. It is entirely a physical combat. The wrestlers have to beat each other with just the use of their bare hands and other body parts. So it is entirely like the Beowulf style. They are only left with their strength and strategy to win the fight.

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.

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.

The origin of this sport has even been referenced in literary endeavor by Homer. In the Iliad, which has been referenced to have happened in as early as the thirteenth or twelfth century, the happenings during the Trojan War was recounted. Not only that, it has been said that this endeavor existed fifteen thousand years ago through the drawings in a cave.

Given that time frame, this style of combat has been developed to a professional sport. There has been two styles which were used now. One is the freestyle and the other is the Greco Roman. Over the years, it was developed until in the twentieth century, it became a popular entertainment in Europe, America, and Japan.
