Trouble Seems To Be Part Of Professional Wrestling
by Burt Dymond

Popularity of Professional wrestling is to a large extent
not viewed too favorably by parents. While children love
this phenomenon, parents find certain wrestling styles to be
offensive and disturbing. In many homes, children are banned
from watching professional wrestling on television. This
does lead us to the question of - Is all the fuss justified,
or is professional wrestling really just a soap opera for
boys?

Everyone knows by now that professional wrestling is a sham.
Viewers long ago gave up the idea that it was for real.
Actors pretend to be wrestlers and it doesn't take much
skill. The only real aspect is that someone could actually
be hurt.

The parents are not questioning the authenticity of
professional wrestling, what they are bothered about is what
does it teach our children. The fact is that wrestling is
extremely violent and has recently turned towards the worst
uncharted territories. Many parents are objecting to the
sometimes verbal, and even physical, abuse towards the women
of the wrestling world. New acts such as cage and one on
three have had parents worried to no end.

The makeover in the world of wrestling happened a few years
ago when a pimp character was introduced. He had a huge
entourage of prostitutes who are scantily clad with many
fake body parts, huge hair, and way too much makeup. Similar
is the look of the female counterparts of male wrestlers. To
top it all, most women were made to demeaning acts and that
had many parents shocked.

Even if the children had no idea what was really being
portrayed, many adults believed that shows with children in
the audience should take more responsibility for the
content. Before long wrestling was banned in a lot of homes.
Parents have been wondering why the already violent sport
featuring people with wild names, changed into something
even worse. They decided that their children shouldn't be
exposed to this behavior.

A second issue in this controversy was the fact that
professional wrestling was being shown on TV in the early
afternoon. Kids were often home from school while their
parents were still working. Parents believed the networks
should schedule these programs later. The parents would then
have the option of either turning off the television, or at
least explaining to their children what was going on.

Even with these issues, wrestling continued to become ever
more popular. When major wrestling matches toured the US and
Canada, the stadiums would be packed with spectators. Some
of these big matches were projected on the big screen in
movie theaters. Networks added spin offs and a football
league. Wrestling has lost some of its pull recently, but a
lot of kids still love to watch it.

Apparently it doesn't matter what adults think of wrestling,
it seems obvious that kids will continue to like it. It's
been with us for a long time now, and the kids love the
wrestling paraphernalia that comes with it. They also like
to act like their favorite wrestler. If parents are
available to tell there children that it's all fake, and not
to try any of the moves, it's probably pretty harmless.
