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.
As the nineteenth century neared its end, organizers put events in arenas just like boxing. For some decades, numerous occasions on grappling got held by dissimilar individual promoters. There was presence of championship belts which held no real authority. The National Wrestling Association was formed in 1901 by promoters and it gave a sole belt for championship.
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.
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.
Extreme Championship Wrestling was another league that had a chief impact on pro fighting. It was a minor league that was based in Philadelphia, it gathered following of fans through broadcasts at late night on local sports networks. It promoted a hardcore style with daring and dangerous moves that appeared completely insane. It lasted for about five years and it went bankrupt and their popular hardcore styles were incorporated into the WWF.
World Wildlife Fund won a successful court case that saw WWF amend their name to being called World Wrestling Entertainment so as to remove ambiguity that was a result of the acronyms. Absorption of the grizzly styles of fighting in the mainstream has seen the sport attract larger fan bases who are obsessed with the adrenalin packed fights.
