Wrestling trophies
The sport of wrestling has ancient roots. From Greco-Roman times to regularly televised World Wrestling Federation matches, wrestling has kept viewers entertained and entertained for centuries.
Wrestling is admired for many reasons. It can be a fun game or a serious win-lose competition, a for-profit business interest, or a way to earn status. This is a game without weapons, and the human body is used as a combat weapon.
There are different styles of fighting. The main division is between amateur wrestling and professional wrestling. The fan is widespread throughout the world and has two types in the Olympics: Greco-Roman and Freestyle. Freestyle evolved from the English form of Lancashire. A similar style is called the collegiate or folk style and is practiced in high schools and universities in the US.
In amateur, freestyle and Greco-Roman differ in what restraints are allowed. In Greco-Roman wrestling, wrestlers are allowed to hold and attack only above the waist. But points can be scored on both by following the actions: takedowns, reversals, escapes, exposure, lifting, and penalty points. A match can be won by period format, won by knockdown, won by technical knockdown, won by decision, won by major decision, and also won by injury. Illegal movements in amateur wrestling include biting, pinching and pushing with the fingers, hitting, attacking the joints, strangling, choking, stabbing, and attacking the genitals.
The most coveted fighting trophies are those of the Olympic Games. The countries with leading fighters at the Olympics are Iran, the United States, Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Sweden, Finland, Turkey, and the former Soviet states. In the United States, college or school wrestling is practiced as a school sport. The Dan Hodge Trophy is awarded to the Outstanding College Wrestler of the Year. It was first awarded to TJ Jaworsky of the University of North Carolina in 1995. The trophy is named after Danny Hodge, a prominent University of Oklahoma wrestler from 1951 to 1954.
Professional wrestling is any tournament in which wrestlers are paid to participate. Historically, professional wrestling has involved matches with predetermined results. American professional wrestling is a performing art in which wrestlers create an entertainment show by simulating a combat sport. Although it started out as a sporting event, he dropped all pretense and declared himself a purely entertaining start with the World Wrestling Federation in the 1990s. He eventually changed his name to World Wrestling Entertainment.
Whether entertaining or amusing, wrestling trophies are sought after as they represent awards for fitness, agility, and strength.
