t, they could utilize such moves as the Suplex, and Bearhug to finish them off. In today’s ring, truth to be told that it is much harder to find the “Supermen” of the 60’s. The younger guys have taken over the sport with a variety of innovations and top turnbuckle moves. Because of this, the excitement once felt from a 350 pound heavyweight dropping his opponent with a clothesline is just not there. Today, even the biggest guys in the ring (which by the way are over 500 and 600 pounds) are the quickest and most agile. They usually use this unknown quickness to pick apart a confused opponent. Rikishi, also known as Fatu the Samoan, is clearly over 400 pounds and yet he still scales to the top rope and his also flexible even to execute a Superkick. The land of the giant has deteriorated yes, but because the giant can adapt to the changing forms, he can still reign supreme.So there you have it. The wrestling world is full of new and great things. Even as we speak, wrestling is constantly changing. With the increase in salary and contracts, backstage politics have risen to an all-time high, making it so very vital that each wrestler has something different to offer. Whether you’re a technical wrestler or a high-flyer; if you’re a ground grappler or a wrestler who likes specialty matches, such as weapons and death matches; the objective is always the same: to make a name for yourself so you know in your heart that every fan in attendance has paid for a ticket just to see you perform for them. The passion is where it was 20 years ago, if not more now. You’ll just have to keep tuning in to see which direction and which styles take shape in the ever-changing world of professional wrestling....
