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.
The wandering fiesta strongman that in many instances posed a fight challenge in the ring or just last for a few minutes can be said to have given rise to emergence of grappling. Later in time, the carnies came to a realization that they could make more money than they were collecting from fighting participants by levying entry charges to crowds that came to cheer. The fighters gave the impression of bad guys to the fans in order encourage them to bet.
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 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.
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.
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.
