The child bolted upright in his bed, awakened by screams, crackling through the thin walls of the house trailer and shattering the blackness of the night. Creeping out of the bed, the boy peered into the next room, where his 300-pound stepfather bent over his mother, bloodying her face with his fist. "Hey what are you guys doing?" cried the startled child, and the man spun and grabbed the 6 year old's hair, bringing a closed fist hard across his face until his cheeks were bloody and the child whimpered and fled. Later, in his bed, the boy would weep. His stepfather was an electrician, and he used whatever tools were on hand to beat his child: wire, screwdrivers, a pipe wrench.

The lesson seemed simple: violence solves problems, and the boy learned it well as he grew, fighting, drinking, and disrupting school so often he was finally expelled. Later, as a young man, when he had tamed his rebelliousness and begun to work for the old-time promoter who was his real father, he discovered he could draw on his violent past. In time, he would create a world of fury and mayhem so big and so bad that it made his childhood home look like Disneyland. But this time, there would be a difference: This time, the bad guys would work for him.

My thesis is "We may be attracted to wrestling for different reasons. But we greatly agree upon that there's no greater show or sport on the planet due to its entertaning contents." I chose professional wrestling because it's like a soap opera for men. In soaps everything seems really cheesy to make sure you get the point, the same goes wrestling. Some of the moves that the wrestlers pull off are fun to watch and some part of you wants to try them too. So, it's just like any other show, it helps you escape from reality. The purpose of my paper is to persuade people to be fan of wrestling.

You might wonder what are the roots of wrestling. Well asking that question is the same as asking, What are the roots of breathing? or What are the roots of eating? It's an imposible question to answer, because as long as there have been living creatures on the planet, there has been wrestling. All you need to do is look at a pair of newborn puppies playing in the dirt; that's a form of wrestling. The cavemen no doubt "wrestled" each other for the best part of the cave or for the food. The rules of the sport weren't established yet, and the physical skills were as raw as it could be.

Fans from around the world have different perspectives but we all have something in common. A look at 100 year history of sports like baseball, basketball, or even the automobile, show numerous trends in changes. Because wrestling's roots are both global and regional, its history is subject to different viewpoints. A fan growing up in Lodi, California has different beliefs and preferences than do fans from New York or Japan. But one common thread binds all of us. As wrestling fans, the sport has touched hearts for different reasons. We all came from different walks of life and we all are alike in our desire to witness wrestling's amazing display of athleticism and entertainment.

100 years of professional wrestling. From shoots to works and heroes to villains, all of it is here in a bold and colorful manner, which only the grand industry of professional wrestling would dare to reveal. The rapid pace of change over the past years both in the sport of wrestling and in the growth of technology is unbelievable, but one thing is certain: We're all in agreement that there's no greater show on planet.

I don't think the statement of "my thesis is", bu tthe rest reads wonderfully. It has a lot of description to it and even the violence is palatable. I would like a few more sentences to expand on the roots of wrestling...maybe enlist some of the ideas of wrestling in different cultures...just some thoughts
