Proficient grappling is both a sport and a performing art that is a very widespread form of entertainment in Latin America, North America, Japan and Europe. Its scripted nature has often made critics see it as a dishonest sport compared to boxing, amateur brawling and mixed martial arts. However, no major wrestler or promoter has denied that current pro fighting has match outcomes that are predetermined. Below is the history of professional wrestling.
Tussling grew as a result of the on journey carnival strongman who would in most cases challenge anybody to fight him inside the ring or just last ten minutes. Time later the carnies found out that they could be able to make money by charging entry fee to the crowd that watched the matches rather than rely on the entry fee of the fighters. The fighters identified themselves with fake names and encouraged betting by playing the dislike of crowd.
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.
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.
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.
The lowest moments in the WWF occurred after various factors including below par conceived storylines and the federal investigation on steroids distribution surrounded it. Ingenious approaches and youthful talented wrestlers came to its aid making it recover. It bought WCW on the period of 2001 and managed its video library, trademarks and wrestlers which made WCW become a history.
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.

With the incorporation of the hardcore fighting styles in the mainstream, the sport has received a wider audience who enjoy the adrenalin filled matches.
