Professional wrestling is not “fake”, but it is scripted. Me personally, I liked wrestling back before they talked so openly about how the magic happened and before there was Internet. We don’t need to be told something most of us know and ruin it for people who get into the product. The key to carrying a match at a quality capacity is a (wrestler) performer’s ability to get into the role and really become the character. This is why John Cena is the number one performer in the industry. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to earn a living in WWE as a professional wrestler, defend his position with all his heart, even when he is not holding a belt, and gives 100% effort each and every time he steps into the ring. Hate it or love, it’s the truth. …show more content…
The moves are real, the athleticism is real, and the performers put on a show by performing these moves until the match ends. Magic is the same: put on a great show where there is that high risk factor, but it usually ends okay with no injuries. That’s the truth. It’s a shame that professional wrestling has become watered down by the WWE’s use of the term, “Sports Entertainment”, but it is what it is. If you don’t like wrestling the way it is then change it or help work towards changing it, but don’t deny that it isn’t an optical illusion much akin to magic.
My Thoughts: I think it was irresponsible of a well-known public figure to use their personal Twitter account to lash out at WWE, an established high quality professional sports entertainment company that has earned its spot at the top.
Dana White should feel embarrassed, but he probably doesn’t. He’s probably basking in the attention he’s receiving from wrestlers, wrestling fans, and others.
Do you honestly think that Dana White is going to read each and every one of your Twitter’s? No way. I think the situation has been blown way out of proportion and does not need any more attention from the media
Hogan was so supremely charismatic, patriotic, and colourful compared to other wrestlers. He stood out like a giant in Japan, he was impossible to miss, a larger-than-life character, and his merchandise sold like hot cakes. Wrestling had evolved out of its niche market into something global, and (almost) everyone loved Hogan. Despite Hogan being champion for four years in the 80's, the fans never turned on him, he was the superhero of the age, the ultimate babyface wrestler. We know how Hogan's career ended up, he failed to evolve with the times, and nowadays he can be considered a mere shadow of his former self; his real-life situations often overshadow all the hard work he put in during the
“The NHL (national hockey league) is not in the business of comforting people, they’re in the business of entertainment, and if fighting represents a way to differentiate themselves from an entertainment stand point, then fighting isn’t going anywhere” In the 2014-15 season 1,230 games were played, and out of those games 391 fights were in action. 29.91% of games had fights, 45 games had more than one fight. Taking fighting out of the game of hockey is too big of a risk. I think the fans will be disappointed and the entertainment level will go way down. In my paper I’m going to write about why fighting in hockey should stay and why people think it should also.

Time to point out the obvious: pro-wrestling is not a sport. Why? Because pro-wrestling involves no sport[ing]. Wrestlers do not show up to work every day trying to do all they can to win; they show up to work trying to do all they can to do their job, which is entertain the fans. However, this line of thinking often leads to another conclusion: If pro wrestling is not a sport, then wrestlers are not athletes. This could not be further from the truth. What pro wrestlers do in the ring day in and day out may not be sport, but it is athletic activity on the most demanding level. It is high time that the men and women who work harder than any other professional athletes got a little respect.

Other sports, such as basketball, soccer, and golf, rarely even send the greatest athletes from each country because they would much rather win the NBA finals, the World Cup, or the PGA Tour thanks to the enormous paydays that the athletes can receive from winning such tournaments. The Olympics, however, pays only a fraction of that to their medaling athletes, but wrestlers are not in it for the money. As long as wrestling is involved, an Olympic medal will continue to be the aspirations of wrestlers around the world.
Boxing in the early and mid-twentieth century had an appeal that captured the eyes and ears of millions of Americans. Championship fights and popular fighters were on national television and in newspaper headlines. At the time, boxing was relevant in the American sports world. However, over the past 30 years, boxing has regressed and lost its popularity. Spectacles like the graceful Muhammad Ali and the hard-hitting Mike Tyson are gone and have been replaced by lackluster fighters and greedy fight promoters who only care about their profit cut. On top of that, an increasing pile of evidence is starting to show more clearly the dangers of repeated head trauma and how corrupt the business of boxing has become. Lastly, boxing is pressured by the rapidly growing sport, mixed martial arts (MMA), because of its safer nature and a strong corporate leader. These causes combined will finally cause boxing to die as a sport in America unless serious steps are taken to reform the sport.
During a wrestling match, you are using all of your previous knowledge of the moves you have been practicing over and over. On top of that you need to have the mental mind set that you are gonna win. You may think it is easy because it's only a six minute match, but all the blood, sweat and tears that us wrestlers put in for those six minutes, may be the happiest or saddest experience of our life. We spend hours a day working with our coaches to make sure our technique is close to perfection as it can get. Most likely, you will win or lose a match on how well conditioned you are. We will usually wrestle a twelve minute match in practice, so that six minute match feels like nothing. Even with the time and effort you put in this sport, they will always be someone who might be just a little better.
arm motion could change the fate of the match, and one must be prepared for that
Hockey is an extremely competitive sport that is based on continuous efforts between two opposing teams whose objective is to score on the opponent’s goal. Some aspects that come in to play include ice skating technique, stickhandling, and speed. However, instead of sitting back with family or friends and eating snacks while watching the hockey match. Have you thought about what truly goes on behind the scenes or how momentum can impact the players? Today we will discuss the background of the Minnesota Wild versus the Florida Panthers on February 28th, the objective and subjective aspects of the hockey match, the aftermath, and an overall reactions of the players/coach.
Wrestling is the hardest sport both physically and mentally.The constant management of weight is what kills me the most, I can take all the cheap shots from opponents and the slams down onto the mat but the cutting weight part is the worst. It was the day before a tournament and I was 14 pounds over the weight I was going to wrestle that weekend. I had to lose it, so i did. I ran with layers of clothing on all night long and I didn 't eat or drink anything for two days, I made myself freeze at night so my body would burn more calories to keep me warm, me and friends drilled for hours to help me shed those final pounds. I went through hell and yet not one person tried to stop me or check to see if i was physically okay. They cared about the medal i was going to get that weekend rather than the fact that i was on the verge of dehydration and malnourishment. People should consider the mental and physical health problems wrestling has on a person such as dehydration, excessive weight loss,going days without eating,and the breakage of a person’s will, however all they think about is the titles and the medals they will receive if they can just make that weigh in.
Rodeo, one might ask...what is a rodeo? A rodeo is an event or competition where cowboys and cowgirls show off their skills with and around animals. Rodeos are competitions between cowgirls and cowboys to see who can rope and ride the best. The judges will time the events and whoever has the shortest time or meets certain time limits is the winner and will get prizes or money. Rodeo isn’t just a competition and form of entertainment, it is a sport and a career. For some people rodeo is the only thing they do and that’s how they’re making a living for the family. Rodeos in the United States are a positive and safe form of entertainment for families to enjoy because rodeos do not abuse, but care for and provide treatment for animals and participants.
Sports can help many at- risk youths. In order to participate in sports you need to be committed and willing to work hard. You also have to learn to respect others and accept that winning isn’t the only measure of success. Losing can build character as well. When youth participate in a sports they enjoy, they are less likely to engage in behaviors that are harmful or dangerous to themselves and others. It is for these reasons schools should strive to maintain athletic programs for their students.
The public considers the Rock to be a celebrity being that he has gone from music, to commercials, to sports, and journalism. He has starred on Saturday Night Live, That 70’s Show, and will soon be featured in the sequel to “The Mummy” as the Scorpion King. He is an entertainer who loves performing for the crowd. As he himself said, “Always entertaining the fans and knowing that I’m entertaining them-that’s the goal, to entertain the fans and nothing compares to that.” Each time he appears somewhere knew it adds to his popularity more and more. You start to conform to this so- called “reality.”
When they see the wrestlers they are so much bigger than they thought. The wrestlers have big and powerful wrestlers. They are always in top condition. The smaller wrestlers still have muscles but they are not as powerful as the bigger ones. The smaller wrestlers rely on their speed to win their matches.
