The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Marsha Klein


No other game is as amusing as one in which the results rely solely on agreements made between the competing partners prior to the actual match. It is a match in which evil can out do good and the fans go to sleep in the hope that in the fourth coming match the opposite will occur. Welcome to the history of professional wrestling where a lot of theater skills are put in good use and weaponry doctored to fit in the match.

Fans of wrestling have every reason to support and love this game. It is a unique sport where guidelines are not followed; lying is encouraged and appreciated by the fans who find it amusing. Furthermore they are expected to boo and applaud. With its large number of fans, those on the contrary opinion base their arguments on a theory that this sport promotes aggression and false fights. But funny ironically no funs fight in the stadium nor in the parking spots provided.

Since the 19th century wrestling was a mode of amusement. By this time in Europe it was practiced. Native brawlers were put to task to show their potentials by fighting enclosed in a ring especially in North America region. The game was also boosted by the betting. People from a given town supported their hero this way.

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.

Those known to promote these matches started contracting brawlers in the 1920s. Signature responses as well as time featured in the matches. The way to emerge a winner was also undergoing revolution as one could event distract a ref just to win.

Stiff competitions characterized the 1930s competition as regionally based organizations identified talents with the intention of dominating over them. Finally, as these organizations agreed on the boundary set up. In addition to this noble step, NWA grew bigger and regulations were put in place such that no competing parties could lure wrestlers from another party.

The success of wrestling can be traced back to one creative individual, Vin MeMahin. He is the master mind planner who bought competing firms properties to render them out of business so as to dominate over the entire market as a monopoly. He also raised stakes of this business by reaching out to TV stations to air the sport at a much better term than before especially between 1940 to 1950.

Apart from fighting, wrestlers become popular and famous some even are branded superstars. The history of professional wrestling will not fade away but rather continue to flourish as it grows to become one of the most lucrative businesses estimated now to be to a tune of billion dollar worth. With the ever growing number of fans now at 13 million and shown in over hundred countries its worth is something to watch out for.
