Wrestling Companies WWE TNA ROH ECW WCW

I was wondering and thinking about what my first post on this blog was going to be about. There are literally thousands of different topics and subtopics about the wrestling business I could talk about and then it hit me. It is something I think about any time I read about the business of wrestling and read the various comments from countless wrestling fans on the Internet. It is something that has always bothered me, I consider myself very open-minded person yet still think’s logically and it makes no sense to me why people think like this.

I am referring to the notion that only the WWE should exist and everything else should just go out of business and just disappear from the wrestling landscape. The WWE truly have some fanatical fans of the company sometimes it seems even borderline obsessed fans. And many of them truly love wrestling and they happen to be very loyal to the WWE however they don’t seem to realize wrestling doesn’t just mean the WWE, especially these days. I never been a fanatic of any particular company, I follow wrestling and whoever has the best realest wrestling and that’s what I watch and enjoy the most.

There are many reasons why they shouldn’t be just one wrestling company, just right off the back in the United States that would be a monopoly and that’s illegal. In no particular order here are a couple other major reasons why we need multiple wrestling companies surviving and thriving. One of the most important reasons is competition, without competition people/organizations have a tendency to become complacent. And when people and companies become complacent their product and their services start to deteriorate. For example stupid bunny costumed wrestling matches coupled with horrible acted skits!

Another very important reason why competition is needed is because without other wrestling companies out there the wrestlers are trapped in one company with no other place to go to. Without the other wrestling companies the wrestlers chances of getting raises and another contract benefits are greatly reduced to them. If there is only one company hiring wrestlers then you have a situation where it’s either do it our way or hit the highway. People tend to forget because of the wrestling personas that many wrestlers have families and other loved ones to feed and support with their salaries.

Professional Wrestling Blog

I’ve always wanted to start a blog about professional wrestling. Professional wrestling has a very strong passionate fan base and most people either like it or they don’t. Hence, sometimes it’s hard to find people to talk about the inane things that occur in the wrestling world. Since I like blogging on all different types of topics I finally decided it was time to start a wrestling blog. Since I have some spare time now I thought it would be fun to have some smart conversations about wrestling and the business side of it as well.

Just to give you little background of myself I go back to the days of WWF where you clearly had good wrestlers/faces and the bad wrestlers/heels. Where in my opinion wrestling really mattered, matches really mattered and where the world championship belt actually meant something to the wrestling fans. And contrary to today you did not see the world champion on a regular basis hence it was always a special match/special event when the champion laced his boots to wrestle.

Also unlike today wrestlers stayed in character, it was encouraged and enforced. This helped create an atmosphere of realness tremendously with the wrestlers themselves and wrestling fans alike. There are still federations which follow the principle today however the biggest company in the wrestling business the WWE has become completely corporate. The business is always been about money but more so today, the realness and allure has been replaced with people wrestling in bunny rabbit costumes. True wrestling writers have been replaced with Hollywood/soap opera people.

Thankfully though the true spirit of professional wrestling can be found and seen through various channels such as online video, the Indies, international wrestling and various different wrestling federations out there. The one good thing about today’s market is there is pretty much a wrestling show for every kind of wrestling style available just need to know how to find it.
