Trouble Seems To Be Part Of Professional Wrestling

By: Burt Dymond Children of all ages seem to enjoy professional wrestling. Some parents have started complaining that some of it is quite offensive and destructive. Some parents won't allow their children to watch wrestling on TV anymore. So the question is; is professional wrestling really that bad?

Professional wrestling basically means that it's fake. No one really entertains ideas that the wrestling we see on national television is real anymore. The wrestlers are simply actors and what they do isn't difficult. There is an element of reality in it since the possibility of someone getting hurt is always there.

The fuss has little to do with whether or not professional wrestling is real, but parents and others worry that it's sending bad messages. It's definitely violent, no one can deny that. Recently, professional wrestling is venturing into new territory. It's always targeted racial and ethnic backgrounds, but now there is physical and verbal abuse directed at women in the world of wrestling. This is the part that's bothering many people.

Over the years the male wrestlers have had female companions with them. They are generally women wearing few clothes, showing enhanced body parts, big hair, and too many layers of makeup. A few years ago a pimp-like character entered the ring with a group of female prostitutes. Sometimes these women would perform disparaging acts, shocking many parents.

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.

One more major issue that came up for discussion was that wrestling was being cast on television in the early afternoon - when many children were home alone without parent guidance or supervision. It was opined that television networks need to be responsible and have such controversial shows only when parents could either supervise what their children were viewing, just shut it off or watch it with their kids so they could explain certain objectionable aspect of the show without biasing the thought process of their children.

Despite the controversies, wrestling continued to gain popularity and all events in the US and Canada would have stadium filled to capacity. Major matches were also shown on big screens in large movie theatres. In the recent past, wrestling mania has slowed a bit but it continues to be very popular with kids.

Despite the choice of parents, children would continue to love professional wrestling and would continue imitating their favorite wrestler with suitable merchandise. The issue at hand is that parents need to explain it to their children that none of this is real.
