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.

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.

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.

For the modern world, where things like that, have been diminished, this is already quite uncomfortable to look at. But then the only good thing about this is that there are no weapons used, only physical strength. Like the hero in the English folk tale Beowulf, the contenders will just have to make use of your bare hands and body to defeat their opponent.

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.

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.

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.
