The recent attacks on the professional wrestling's most feared personality, 'The Undertaker' has just added to the fears expressed by the fans of this sport as to its safety. The Undertaker was feared dead after he was attacked by unknown persons; and as I write this article, it is still not very clear the extent of his injuries and when he is likely to recover from them.
But who attacked the Undertaker and why?
It is no longer a secret that there are some wrestlers out there who want to win a fight or become champions by hook or by crook. These persons would go to any length to get opponents out of their way to enable them achieve their ambitions. They are weaklings: The strong do not achieve their dreams through dishonest means.
Wrestling Rings
The beauty of the game of wrestling is not in violence, but in the use of skills and smartness to win a fight convincingly to the admiration of the spectators. The use of skills, agility and physical strength made this sport very attractive when such personalities like mighty Igor, Power Uti, Buddy Ross, The Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Sergeant Slaughter, Big Bossman, Mil Mascaras, etc. where in the scene.
The free use of weaponry nowadays makes one to wonder if what we now see is entertainment and friendship, or hatred and anger. Those who have one form of anger or grudge now have a way of expressing it through the use of potentially harmful instruments. This has led to many of our wrestlers suffering several injuries, bodily harm or mutilation in the hands of their challengers. People like Shaun Michael, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, Mark Henry, Baptista, Bobby, John Cena, etc have been sent to the hospital at one time or the other, as a result of the unrestricted use of dangerous weapons in the rings.
If this trend is not checked, very soon our best hands in this game would all be injured and knocked out of the industry by the cowards, who are desperate to get to the pinnacle of success without hard work and self-improvement. These violent ones should realize that there is respect in self-control, and in getting whatever you want through an honorable way, rather than resorting to cheating, maiming and destroying their opponents. They should also remember that their opponents are family men on whom a lot of people depend for their survival.
Wrestling is a beautiful game; adding decency and rules to it, would make it even more enjoyable to the millions of fans world wide. Violence should be completely condemned if the popularity the sport enjoys is to be sustained.
