No other game is as amusing as one in which the results rely solely on agreements made between the competing partners prior to the actual match. It is a match in which evil can out do good and the fans go to sleep in the hope that in the fourth coming match the opposite will occur. Welcome to the history of professional wrestling where a lot of theater skills are put in good use and weaponry doctored to fit in the match.
One wonders why this match has a lot of supports. Some of these may be an answer. First, rules are not abided; a jester is received with joy and is found interesting by fans moreover, these audiences are encouraged to jeer and praise to give morale or demoralize.

Wrestling had become a kind of entertainment especially by the 19th century especially in Europe where it was already taking root. Brawlers from the local communities were dared to show case strength by wrestling in the ring. This was happening mostly in Northern America where betting had come in to promote the game further. Bets were done by people from a common town in a way to sustain a hero from their region.
18th century can be described as a period where arenas were allocated entirely for wrestling. During this period also, matches were organized into specific schedules. This was also further favored by formation of a body called NWA which marketed this match all over and fostered the regionalized sporting activity into becoming a dynamic cooperative entity.
It was not until 1920s when first matches were characterized by signature movements and time limitation. Promoters and sponsors began to hire wrestlers on contract basis. New methods of winning were also arising, for example a referee could be distracted. Stories about the matches were put on air insinuating a return match which kept the fans looking forward to it.

The history of professional wrestling will not fade away but rather continue to flourish as it grows to become one of the most lucrative businesses estimated now to be to a tune of billion dollar worth. With the ever growing number of fans now at 13 million and shown in over hundred countries its worth is something to watch out for.
