Years Before The History Of Professional Wrestling

By Imelda Reid


Every person is given a set of different abilities and gifts. Though each has a different ability or gift, there is always a purpose behind the matter. But then, there is always this matter with humans which just cannot get to accept this fact. That is why in this world where humans dwell, you will see the evident clamor for satisfaction especially for superiority.

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.

So if you ever want to watch this kind of competition take place on the stage, you must be psychologically prepared. If you are way too soft hearted, then do not even think you can finish looking at the entire competition without being drained with all your energy. You must have the disposition of the Romans before, who enjoyed looking at Christians being tortured in the arena.

To be more specific, it is like seeing two heated enemies quarrel on stage just like roosters on a cock fight. But the good thing with this is that even if the fight is brutal, there is no involvement of weapons. Both players just have to battle each other like Beowulf.

It is actually just a portrayal of how normal people fight. But you can say, that the move applied by the players is in the level of intense hatred. You will see them using all sorts of grappling techniques such as pinning, clinching, throwing, take downs, and other kinds of holds and styles which they can use to take down their opponent.

With this, you can see that it is very different from other combat sports like kung fu, karate, fencing, and boxing. But some of the styles in this sport are actually infused in some forms of martial arts and military hand to hand combat. Basically, the moves in wrestling is practically what an enraged person will do in response for defense.

This endeavor has actually been acknowledged as one of the oldest forms of combating endeavor. Even some literary references like Iliad can attest to it. In this, Homer cited the Trojan War which occurred in the twelfth or in the thirteenth century. Aside from that, it has been identified through the drawings found in a cave fifteen years ago.

During that time span, it has continuously developed and spread as well. And in the twentieth century, it has already become a professional sport showcasing two styles which are Greco Roman and freestyle. So from being a mere folk sport, it is now a popular entertainment just like other sports.
