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.

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.

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.

After the end of world war two, the partition of brawling by the National Wrestling Association resulted into regional leagues. An informal agreement was met on not to tap talent from other undesignated region or enlarge their showground into each other region. The federation in the Northeast called the World Wide Wrestling Federation became a bit defiant; they shortened their identity to World Wrestling Federation and broke the gentleman agreement almost immediately.

The last standing NWA in the 1980s only operated in Southeast. In fact the league was known as NWA and later changed to World Championship Wrestling after it was purchased. It outdid the WWF successfully and rose to higher levels where it was able to woo top talents from competitors and their rating shot up.

WWF experienced its lowest moments at a time when several factors that included poorly conceived storylines and federal investigation on the distribution of steroids hit it. Inventive approaches and young talented wrestlers were able to see its rise to recovery. It took over the WCW in 2001 and came over control of video library, wrestlers and trademarks making WCW disappear from existence.

Another confederation that had a significant influence on professional tussling was the Extreme Championship Wrestling. It was an insignificant league that gathered fans following through late night broadcasts on local networks that aired sports. It featured grizzly styles with audacious and risky moves that seemed totally insane. It did not last for more than five years before it went bankrupt and taken over by the WWF who adapted their popular grizzly styles.

World Wildlife Fund won a successful court case that saw WWF amend their name to being called World Wrestling Entertainment so as to remove ambiguity that was a result of the acronyms. Absorption of the grizzly styles of fighting in the mainstream has seen the sport attract larger fan bases who are obsessed with the adrenalin packed fights.
