The Cult of WWE

The first WWE (world wrestling Entertainment ) match that comes to my mind which I watched on T.V goes way back to times yore when I was hmmmm ...I think 7th standard. The match was between Shuan Michals and Razor Roman. WWE was then known popularly as WWF ( world wrestling federation ) and was telecasted on Prime sports. In retrospect, I have grown up watching all those famous wrestlers like Hitman,Yokuzuna,HulkHogan,BullDog and many others. I always thought that games were genuinely played and real similar to those boxing games etc, without scripts already written or results of the matches predetermined by their team. As I grew up it was hard to believe despite watching those blood spilling matches that all those matches were scripted and the results of such matches were predetermined. Creative controversies were created by the back end team with an element of emotion attached to make them more appealing to public, it was sports juxtaposed with entertainment. The Vagaries of wrestling matches are so surreal that its hard to predict the results, I guess that is the reason why it has gained such a huge popularity worldwide now. But the debates and discussions continue even today on the barrier to be laid by the parents of children by stepping a step further in disallowing them to watch these programs, I think it is left entirely to the parents to allow or permit with constraints, it would be a preposterous argument to debate on banning the entertainment though. After all it has been one of the best known creative ideas of intellectual business acumen and unassailable entrepreneur thought brought to cater and whet the appetite of global audience watching television. All that the parents or teachers have to ensure, is to make known the fact to the children that the grudges of the macho men, their acts and signature moves are limited to that ring and should never be imitated anywhere, at school or at home, for, its pseudo fight, faked and scripted. More than that, its just entertainment similar to what they watch in the movies.
