Proficient grappling is both a sport and a performing art that is a very widespread form of entertainment in Latin America, North America, Japan and Europe. Its scripted nature has often made critics see it as a dishonest sport compared to boxing, amateur brawling and mixed martial arts. However, no major wrestler or promoter has denied that current pro fighting has match outcomes that are predetermined. Below is the history of professional wrestling.
Brawling as a sport sprung out as a consequence of the travelling festival strongman who in most cases would pose a challenge for a fight in the ring or last for only ten minutes. As time went by, the carnies realized that by charging entry fee they could be in a position to make a lot of money instead of relying on the entry fee by fighters. The wrestlers portrayed as villains to the crowd and used fake names so as to encourage betting.
During the end of the nineteenth century, events were put in arenas by the promoters just like boxing. Many grappling events were held by various different individual promoters in a few decades. Championship belts had no real authority despite their existence. The National Wrestling Association was loosely organized by Promoters in 1901 which awarded a sole championship belt.
Regional leagues were made from the division of tussling by NWA after the Second World War. A gentleman agreement was decided on not to take talent from another one or expand their arena into the region of another. The Northeast federation which was known as World Wide Wrestling Federation was a slightly rebellious, after the shortening of the name to World Wrestling Federation the gentleman agreement was almost immediately broken.
The last standing NWA in the 1980s only operated in Southeast. In fact the league was known as NWA and later changed to World Championship Wrestling after it was purchased. It outdid the WWF successfully and rose to higher levels where it was able to woo top talents from competitors and their rating shot up.
The lowest moments in the WWF occurred after various factors including below par conceived storylines and the federal investigation on steroids distribution surrounded it. Ingenious approaches and youthful talented wrestlers came to its aid making it recover. It bought WCW on the period of 2001 and managed its video library, trademarks and wrestlers which made WCW become a history.
Another confederation that had a significant influence on professional tussling was the Extreme Championship Wrestling. It was an insignificant league that gathered fans following through late night broadcasts on local networks that aired sports. It featured grizzly styles with audacious and risky moves that seemed totally insane. It did not last for more than five years before it went bankrupt and taken over by the WWF who adapted their popular grizzly styles.
A lawsuit by the World Wildlife Fund filled a successful lawsuit that saw the WWF change its name to World Wrestling Entertainment due to their ambiguous acronyms. As a result of the fall of ECW a grittier style of brawling has moved into the mainstream making the blood chilling fights have a bigger fan following throughout the world.
