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.

Basically, wrestling is a physical combat which people from before used as a defense to physical assaults. But now, it has turned into a professional sport which showcases who is more superior between the two players in terms of strength and ability. That is why given this concept, the contenders are focused on defeating their opponent.

With this, you would already be able to make out what scene will take place on the stage. Basically, there would really be a heated competition. So if you are a type of person who is magnanimous, this kind of scene is not fit for you. You have to be tough like the Romans from the time before who liked seeing torture scenes 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.

So basically, the contenders could only use grappling style techniques like fighting, throws, takedowns, clinch, joint locks, pins, as well as other grappling holds. Now, this sport is good for two players. But on some occasions more competitors join on the stage. Each of which are aspiring to gain the superior position among the others.

Speaking of this, there is actually a range of styles which bear different rules. Each of these styles has been taken from both modern and historic influences. Given this, some of the styles which wrestling bears were taken into the martial arts and military fighting style since it is basically the most intuitive defense of humans.

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.

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.
