Some people think that wrestling isn’t a sport, but it’s been a sport for many, many years. People used to wrestle a lot, wrestling is one of the world’s oldest sports. Works of art from 3000 B.C.E. depict belt wrestling in Babylonia and Egypt. The origins of wrestling go back around 15,000 years through cave drawings in France. Babylonian and Egyptian reliefs show wrestlers using various holds known in the present-day sport.
The sport of wrestling is very old and was around in the 15th and 16th centuries! That makes Wrestling 5,000 years old! It was first created by ancientromans. Wrestling is a martial art sport and originated as hand to hand combat even though not a lot of people know this.
If you see WWE and think that’s wrestling, you would be wrong. WWE is just a fake sport and everything you see on there is staged made for watching on your television.
