Hello everyone, how are you doing on this beautiful day? Today being Sunday has been great indeed and we are all looking forward to the new week.
My post for today will be focused on the topic that had been chosen by the community, and that is “My Favorite Sport”.
And while for some of my male friends, especially those with me here in Nigeria, their favorite sport would be football. But not me, I am one of those few that have no interest in football at all. I don’t watch it and I can’t play it. The only time I watch it though is when I am surrounded by friends and they are all watching it. But on my own, you would never see me decide to watch football.
What then is my favorite sport? Wrestling.
Right from my childhood, I have always been a huge fan of wrestling. And this has followed me to adulthood, and I do not think I will be letting it go anytime soon.
Wrestling is probably one of the oldest sports in the world, originally seen as a way to test a man’s strength and skill, it also became a source of entertainment. Seeing as people loved to gather and watch two grown men beat the hell out of each other.
It gained popularity and soon, spread all over.
It is a sport that basically involves two men forcing their opponent to use a particular part of their body to touch the ground, hold them in a particular position for a certain amount of time, or force them to submit in defeat.
There are different styles of wrestling, like the belt-and-jacket, catch-hold, and loose styles.
Although these days, the most popular kinds of wrestling are the ones that are usually most televised, and they are not considered to be a sport in a grand sense. Most of them are considered as entertainment.
Companies like WWE, ACW, Impact, are companies that organize wrestling matches, they give their wrestlers background stories to make their fights more meaningful, and they make everything beautiful and glamorous so fans will flock to watch them.
In this case, the wrestlers are called performers. This is because most of the fights are choreographed and the endings are known by them before the match even begins. But just because the fights are choreographed does not make them any less real, all the stunts that are performed are real. And they are done only once before a live audience, so any mistake could ruin the entire thing.
I think this is one of the reasons I still enjoy watching it, seeing grown men and women walking in a ring with skimpy outfits, trying to look intimidating, not just to their opponents but to we the viewers as well. I never find them intimidating, I find them funny. And I just love it all.
And again, despite their moves being choreographed, there is still a lot of risks in it. Most of the stunts they do are mind-boggling; they put their bodies in extreme conditions just to make the fans happy. Many of them get injured in the process, sometimes really serious injuries that they will have to spend months at the hospital. Thankfully though, the company usually has that covered.
And in conclusion, many of these superstars are multimillionaires. They are celebrities and live the bling life just like footballers, basketball players, and boxers. As a matter of fact, just by virtue of them being performers, many of them have been able to become successful actors, like Dwayne Johnson (D Rock), Ronda Rousey, Mike The Miz, Shawn Michael, etc.
So, my dear friends, after everything I have said I sure hope this still qualifies as a sport. Because I love it so much and what these guys do in the ring, is very sporty. And one has to be really fit to achieve it.
And that is all for today, thank you all for reading. Till we meet in the next post.
Yeah, most people especially ladies are surprised when we come across a guy they don't like playing or watching soccer but it is not really a must after all.
I like your favorite sport, it's really entertaining.
Even I don't understand. There is no rule that states that we all must love football😂
Thank you for reading, I am glad you enjoyed it.
As in ehn🙃🙃.
You're welcome dear 💙.
Yea, wrestling has gain popularity all over the world, lots of people subscribe into watching it too, but personally I am too emotional being. Watching wrestling/boxing, seeing the way they hit each other, usually make me to shed tears.
That hitting is real! I mean how can human being has mind to hit his fellow human being just in the name of sport...well, it's no doubt that most wrestler players are already made through it but it's not just my thing, I don't have the mind watching it.
Thanks for sharing your favorite sport with us, it's good oo... maybe my husband will like you for this cos him too na baba for in watching wrestling.
Ahh... When you know that it is all stunts that they do, it will make it easier to watch.
Thank you for reading, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Most guys I know if not all likes wrestling and I also like it especially female wrestling. Sometimes I ask myself how they do it.
Fighting like that might actually kill them but it doesn't. I don't know if it's film trick or not but I do enjoy it.
There's one they call undertaker or something similar to that. Lol his entry alone will blow your mind.
I will like to watch it life someday, probably somebody's son will have to take me there. 😂
It can't kill them, there are a lot of rules that have been put in place and safety precautions are already grounded in the event of an emergency. That is why no matter all the flying and crashing they do, it is hard before you hear that someone dies.
Thank you for reading.
Okay
You're welcome

My dad can miss an outing to make sure he watches wrestling every Sunday and Monday.
Your favorite is my dad's favorite as well.
You have no idea... That show is out of this world. Very interesting.😋
Thank you for reading, I am glad you enjoy it.
I've always been curious, are they really fighting or just entertaining people by pretending to fight, because I've found some oddities, plus the name has become WWE (ENTERTAIMENT) is it just entertainment?
plus they are not in world sports events such as world level olympiads and so on. it's just a question in my heart😁
In reality, they do not fight. all they do is choreography, despite the stunts being real.
That is why it is called entertainment and not sports and why they can't compete in Olympics. Also, they are referred to as performers, while in sports participants are called athletes.
Thank you for reading.
I can finally sleep well now!
THANK YOU SIR 😁
Wrestling is indeed a wonderful sport.
It is really loved by many including myself.
It makes me happy reading through your post sir.
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed my post.
Just give me John Cena, Rey Mysterio and The beast
I am very okay with this combination
They are mad combination to beat anyone I want
The Beast indeed. You forgot to add The Big Dog.
It won't be complete without him.
Thank you for reading.
I've watched this sport, they are very professional in playing this match, hahahaha.
Yes, that is what makes it very much enjoyable.
Thank you for reading.
I love wrestling a lot too!
I started loving it when John Cena was the talk of the day in my house. My brothers talked about him almost everyday then that it got me inquisitive to watch wrestling with them.
Watching it with them wasn't a waste of time I must confess😊
Nah... It can't be a waste of time.
The joy and fun derived from the game is just too good.
Thank you for reading, i am glad you enjoyed it.
Hahahaha! I can relate😃
Guy I so much love wrestling too, and you can never see me sit to watch soccer. I don't really fancy it although there was a point in my life that I played soccer and watched it but I just grew tired of it.
Aww... man like me.
At least I have seen another man that does not like soccer.
Cheers to us😂
It is all just about passion, and if yours isn't in it then there is no need.
Thank you for reading.
