Development of Wrestling

[Ali]

Hello, everybody.

 

Can anyone tell me about

 

development of wrestling in USA.

 

How many style or division?

 

In my knowledge, I only either know

 

about WWF or some sort of International

 

Wrestling (with 2 guy compete in a Circle)

 

Any famous organisation?

 

In China, wrestling mainly divide into 4 styles,

 

namely, Beijing, Tianjin, Po Ting & Mongolian style.

 

Around 17 Century, Qing Dynasty even

 

set up institution in Royal Palace as one

 

of security sections. Of course, wrestling generate

 

much earlier and even date back to BC.

 

Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to know about 'Amatuer Wrestling' (olympic etc.) or 'Professional Wrestling' (AKA Sports Entertainment, with fixed matches)?

 

If its about the Professional Wrestling, I might be able to help (I'm sure many others will as well.)

Thank you Mr Heel Hook & Tabias_Reece

 

 

Maybe I would like to know more about

 

professional wrestling.

 

Frankly speaking, my concept is in till

 

1920's, professional wrestlers were

 

still REAL martial artist. And it seems

 

that there might even struggle for

 

World Champ between USA and Russian.

 

And when this turn into some sort of

 

"Show" just as WWF

 

(Of course, this is big business and

 

interesting)

 

Can anybody tell me more, Thanks!

Well, yeah it's not what it use to be. The WWE (Its not WWF anymore) is like you said...just entertainment. I remember watching a documentary about wrestlers from that era. Really impressive stuff. Some matches took 2 hours to complete. Not very exciting...true, but still impressive in its own way.

 

Good luck, my friend!
