SPORTS-ENTERTAINMENT "The love for Wrestling"

    Entertainment such as books, movies, or sports have always had the ability to draw in the minds of humans and take them away to another world where they may immerse themselves in pleasure and fun. Entertainment has come a long way in history: from elegant theatre plays to gruesome video games, musical operas to the wild concerts with "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" and from nickelodeon moving pictures without plots to actual motion pictures. Years ago sports-entertainment in the form of wrestling, was just another small business traveling through small towns entertaining few crowds. Now sports-entertainment is a multi-billion dollar business traveling all around the world and watched by billions of fans as the number one show on cable television. During its rise to the wrestling has undergone many changes, these changes may also be the demise of the World Wrestling Federation. The critics say that these changes are setting a very bad example to the young fans. Wrestling is not supposed to be real, it is not meant to be real. True fans know this and do not take what they see on programs such as RAW. Younger fans, however who do not know that much about wrestlings' true values may take wrestling more seriously, much may result in some problems, such as increase in violence and other related issues.  According to the WWF ( World Wrestling Federation ) their target audience is between the ages of 18 and 34, although much of the fans are teens. Teens, at least most of them are mature enough to take wrestling as more of a soap opera than a sport, which is exactly what it is supposed to be. What I think professional wrestling to do, is to tone down, just a bit. In conclusion I think that professional wrestling should continue just the way it is right now. Simply because it is better and more entertaining, its not just about wrestling their are storylines ( also called angles ) which make it so much better, without these angles wrestling would be plain and boring and thats not what it is cut out to be, so I think that wrestling should stick with its old motto of, " Uncooked, uncut and uncensored."
