Years Before The History Of Professional Wrestling

Years Before The History Of Professional Wrestling


by Imelda Reid


It is human nature to aspire for something more than what one has. Even if each one has a different set of gifts, there is still this stain of discontentment which settles in the depth of human complexity. That is why no matter what status one is in, there is always an aspiration for something which one does not have, and this fact is very evident in this world where humans live.

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.

Speaking about wrestling, there is nothing you can ever think of but a violent fight showing the physical fortress of the contenders. And since it is a competition, you will see an even bloodier combat. Each competitor uses his most violent attack to turn over the other. And given the inspiration of being acknowledged as more superior, you will see them showing no mercy to 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.

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.

There is a wide range of styles with different rules. Every style has its own origin which were taken from both historic and modern influences. With this, its style has been incorporated into some martial arts and military hand to hand fighting style. So to speak, this sport is one of the oldest forms of combat. From the way it is done, you will see that it is the most intuitive action of human defense.

You can attest to this due to the references it has in literature. One proven existence of this endeavor in the early years is the Iliad where Homer recounted the happenings in the Trojan War during the twelfth or thirteenth century. Actually, the origin of this endeavor has been known from the cave drawings which have been identified to have dated back fifteen thousand years back.

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.
