Trouble Seems To Be Part Of Professional Wrestling

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?

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 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.

Most male wrestlers have often had their female counterpart, a scantily clad girl with certain fake body parts, huge hair, and way too much makeup. Where many think the turning point is came several years ago, when a pimp character was introduced and his entourage was prostitutes. The girls would often be made to do demeaning acts and many parents were shocked.

Whether or not children really realize what they are watching, many people thought that any show that caters to young viewers should take some responsibility of what they are showing the kids and teaching them. Wrestling was soon shut off in many homes because of this. Many parents were wondering why the change from just violent wrestlers with catchy names and ridiculous outfits, to this? Many people felt that their children shouldn't be subjected to seeing this sort of 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.

Whether or not we like wrestling it seems that kids will always enjoy it. It has been around for many years and kids love the extra merchandise that is sold, as well as imitating their favorite wrestler. As long as parents can be there to explain that none of this is real, and not to try and act out any wrestling moves, it proves to be fairly harmless.
