Pro brawling is a common form of entertainment that is viewed in terms of sport and performing art in Latin America, Japan, Europe and North America. Critics have often pointed at its scripted nature terming it as a deceitful sport when put in comparison with amateur fighting, boxing and assorted martial arts. Predetermined match outcome is an issue that no major promoter or wrestler has denied of existence. The history of professional wrestling can be summarized as below.
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.
After the end of world war two, the partition of brawling by the National Wrestling Association resulted into regional leagues. An informal agreement was met on not to tap talent from other undesignated region or enlarge their showground into each other region. The federation in the Northeast called the World Wide Wrestling Federation became a bit defiant; they shortened their identity to World Wrestling Federation and broke the gentleman agreement almost immediately.
The only remaining longstanding area NWA by 1980s was only operational in the Southeast. It was in real fact called the NWA before it got purchased and its name converted to World Championship Wrestling. It was successful in outdoing the WWF and for a period of time it rose to top level as it was able to entice top talents from rival and hence their rating went higher.
WWF experienced its lowest moments at a time when several factors that included poorly conceived storylines and federal investigation on the distribution of steroids hit it. Inventive approaches and young talented wrestlers were able to see its rise to recovery. It took over the WCW in 2001 and came over control of video library, wrestlers and trademarks making WCW disappear from existence.
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 successful court case by the World Wildlife Fund made WWF shift its name to the World Wrestling Entertainment as a result of the conflicting acronyms. With the incorporation of the hardcore fighting styles in the mainstream, the sport has received a wider audience who enjoy the adrenalin filled matches.
