WRESTLING IN PRESENT TIME

Wrestling sports at present time is a talk of town. Every age group, either, sex and various nationals irrespective of their boundaries are caught up high, by this sporting event. You name it and they know it. From just the new entrants to the old gold-is, they know almost about everyone skills and respective trademarks.

One can classify this great sport in two major categories, Professional and Amateur. Pro wrestlers are the one who had undergone hard training to acquire special skills in their jobs and are engaged with it as to earn their livelihood. Professional wrestlers spend most of the time to hone their skills and to participate in different contests is their prime job. They have a career out of wrestling and this sport serves as a means of money making for them.

Under, Pro wrestling size does matter, though smaller people do have their chance but it’s the big size which the people wants and this factor can make the show more interesting. Big size wresters add more fun to the competition.

While, Amateur wrestler is the one who has taken part in this sports just for the sake of enjoyment and interest. However, these people could be as hardworking as like Pro’s but wrestling sports is not their main job.

Professional wrestling means a sincere devotion towards the sports. Now days, even this has been undergoing drastic changes: The gimmickry and the backstage skits are vastly replacing technical wrestling.

Now, the art and science of professional wrestling is hard to find. The classic holds, headlocks, technical moves, adventurous reversals, and switches are no more available in the matches and this all is just a result of the change in the public demands. Public today is much more interested in the staged shows as it appears they lack the proper time and context required for technical one.

Fans are now shouting, throw the ladders and tables in the arena and organizers have to provide the view, that the public wants. Watchers demand a speedy wrestling topped up with violence and fiction. Wrestling substance is being taken over by the Character, Appearance, and Presentation skills. Technical moves have been excessively dramatized as like Soap opera scenes.

Loudness is a new concept. Wrestlers hardly have much beyond punches, kicks, shouts, and backdrops. However, technical wrestling does show up sometimes between these stunts but that is rare to find. In addition, in case the wrestlers adopt technical style, the majority of crowd refuses them. Match appeal has more to do with attitude and intensity.

Professional wrestling now has fewer technicalities. Earlier the wrestler used to engineer their respective moves, which later on became their character but at present time, one’s adopted attitude is being referred as his character. Present wrestling style is short on imagination. Hardly any new moves are practiced by the new comer that has just led to a kind of stagnancy with regards to this style.

No doubt, people enjoy this new form of wrestling as like never before but this also indicates the shift in the taste of the watchers. In spite of
Good moves, fans demand for new presentations. Present form has a large number of minor fans, which can unknowingly influence their thought process and could have a noticeable implication in the coming time.

Whatever, the changes but still it is a fact that wrestling enjoys a big fan following. However, utmost care should be taken to protect the real wrestling style i.e. technical wrestling being overtaken by the present style. After all, when this entire clamor will rest down in some future, it is the technical style, which the lovers will seek to regain.
