Pro fighting is a type of entertainment that is seen it terms of a game and a performing art, it is very common in the Latin America, Europe, North America and Japan. Its scripted form has in most cases been a subject of criticism owing to the fact that it is of a deceiving nature when compared with other fighting games such as boxing, martial arts and amateur brawling. None of the major promoter or wrestler has denied existence of prearranged outcome of matches. A look into the history of professional wrestling is as abridged 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.
By the conclusion of the nineteenth century, like boxing matches, promoters also put brawling events in arenas. In the few decades, various occasions were held by dissimilar distinct promoters. Championship belts existed though they did not have any real authority. Promoters in 1901 loosely formed National Wrestling Association that awarded a single belt for championship.
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.
By the 1980s the remaining old regional NWA was operating in the Southeast. It was in actual fact named the NWA before it was later bought and its name got changed into World Championship Wrestling. It was able to overshadow the WWF and for some time was on top as it drew top talent from its rival and got higher ratings than them.
Various factors that included storylines that were poorly conceived and a steroid distribution scandal by the federal investigation brought WWF to its lowest point. It was however able to recover with ingenious angles and wrestlers that were young and talented. In 2001, it bought WCW and took control of wrestlers, video library and trademarks wiping it out of 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 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.
