Professional wrestling match types

I separate my life into two parts: before professional wrestling and after professional wrestling. It sounds ridiculous but professional wrestling has made me the person I am today. I started watching wrestling when I was about nine years old. Before that time and up to that time, I had no friends. Literally, no one I knew I would have considered a friend. It wasn't for a lack of trying on my part, maybe it was because of a lack of social skills. I was the fat kid in class. I wasn't the only fat…

When Daniel Bryan first made his debut in the WWE back in February 2010 on WWE NXT (then a reality/wrestling hybrid show), he was unlike most main event level Superstars. He wasn't the big, bulky type like Big Show, Kane, or the Great Khali. He didn't have the good looks that guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or Roman Reigns had. But he was not just extremely talented, but he was very over with the WWE Universe and the Universe loved him. During the first season of WWE NXT (the season which gave…

It's important to highlight CM Punk as part of the pro wrestling context at the time. That way, you'll see how he raised the bar. And it's needless to say he had his work cut out for him. The year was 2006, so not that long ago. And mainstream pro wrestling was stuck in an awkward transitional period. WWE was shifting towards a more PG product. But they had spent the past decade solidifying a chaotic, car crash form of entertainment. This approach included swearing, lots of blood, and a lack of…

When professional wrestler Mick Foley won the World Wrestling Entertainment World Heavyweight Title on Monday Night RAW at the end of 1998, he became a heroic character in the realm of pro wrestling, then at its height of popularity on cable television. Many considered Foley unusual as a heroic figure. His character blended masculine heroic qualities of tenacity, endurance, and hard work with characteristics not usually seen in the American hero: a need for communal acceptance, a desire for…

and excruciating process, but well worth the pain to reach the pinnacle of his journey: to be a state champion. Before the wrestling season, a wrestler needs to be mentally and physically prepared. This journey is anything but easy, and sometimes to have the most success, wrestlers must cut weight. Cutting weight puts the wrestler at a lower weight, helping him control wrestling matches easier. The wrestler has to create physical goals through exercise, dieting, weight checks, all while…

Dwayne “ The Rock” Johnson Dwayne “ The Rock” Johnson is a famous action movie star and a professional wwe wrestler. After he performs on live tv shows and he acts on movies like Fast and Furious, Hercules, and Tooth Fairy. One way the Rock also known as Dwayne Johnson influences me, is that he shows others to keep your head up and there is always a point where someone wanted to give up but he always says don’t give up. I respect the “Rock” because he left the wwe in wrestlemania 29 after he…

Meade 1 You have to work your way up the ranks up the wwe to be a main event superstar. To be Brock Lesner, john Cena or even the undertaker. You have to work hard and be strong in the ring because once your in there there’s no turning back. Just hope that whoever you’re fighting that they don’t punish you to much. If your fight Braun Strowman give up he is nicknamed the monster of a man since he destroys everyone he’s fights. First you have to prove yourself first. You’ll go into nxt the…

with my coaches for wrestling. Spending so much time with them has led me to get to know them very well over the years. My two coaches for wrestling, Esvelt and Falcon, when looked at initially, appear immensely different. Their facial expressions to their body types differ significantly. Once they begin to talk and coach, the similarities in their attitudes at tournaments and their coaching styles become evident. The greatest difference between all seven of the wrestling coaches would be…

the outlandishness of a character. George Wagner was a professional wrestler back then, which later became known as a golden era, during a time when kayfabe was alive and well (For those who don’t know wrestling terms, kayfabe essentially means that nobody knew professional wrestling was pre-determined). But when Wagner adopted his in-ring persona of “Gorgeous” George, both his and the sport’s popularity exploded. That’s right, watching wrestling used to be a household activity. What a time to…
