Understanding 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.

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.

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.

In the 1800s, enclosed podiums had been taken to be battle fields. Those who sponsored this matches had even created match schedules. It got a better boost in 1901 when a body was created to assist in raising the sport to be recognized nationally. This body was referred to as the NWA. There objective was to build the regional sponsors and turn it to a cooperative union.

The promoters and sponsors of this sport began recruiting wrestlers as it grew in the huge number of fans rallying behind one of their own or even as a form of entertainment. Of importance was the fact that wrestlers used all means to win. One that caught the eye of every one at the time was the technique of blocking the referee in order 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.

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.
