                                         WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING,                                          POSTMODERNISM.

INTRODUCTION

              If you are over about 35 years of age and male then you may remember some of these names from your youth: Spiro’s Arion, Mario Milano, Killer Karl Cox, Tiger Shing, Larry O’Day, and Brute Bernard. Do you remember them? They were all wrestlers. I have some vivid memories of sitting on the floor of our lounge room watching wrestlers succumb to the “sleeper hold” or scream in agony at the pain of the “figure-four leg-lock”.

But have you seen the wrestling recently? It has changed – in a big way.
When you watched the wrestling back then, one thing was always clear – there were good guys and there were bad guys. Good was good and bad was bad. The good guys always fought clean and the bad guys always used the dirty tricks. The good guys may become bad guys. Or the bad guys might repent of their evil ways and become good guys. But it was always clear which side they were on.

The wrestling on TV today is totally different. The men and women that grace the ring now are called “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Vince McMahon and The Undertaker. They have groups called “the Ministry of Death”. But it is not only the names that have changed. It is now impossible to tell who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Everyone seems to fight dirty. The line has all been blurred.

              But the wrestling is really only a reflection of a bigger shift that has taken place in the way society thinks. You may have heard the term “postmodernism”. This is the name that describes that shift. We live in a day and age when people don’t want to see things as black and white. They would prefer to just see lots of shades of grey. We live in a day in which the idea of “truth” is not that important – or even considered to be irrelevant. You can’t say what is good and what is bad. Just because you don’t like it or approve of it doesn't mean it is bad.

We have to be tolerant of the view, beliefs and practices of the of others.

To understand postmodernism we need to have some ideas of prevailing thinking before Postmodernism. The word used to describe it was Modernism. (Obviously).

              We have all grown up in the “Modern” world – in a world where science was thought of as King. It is a world where there was enormous confidence that science would hold the key to unlock the mysteries of life, the universe and everything. It was thought that the truth was out there and that all we need to do is follow the rules of logic and scientific methods and we will find it. Here is how one writer summarised modernism

The of the human intellectual quest became that of unlocking the secret of the universe, in other to master nature for human benefit and create a better world.

ADVATAGES OF WWE

It’s Universally Understood

Wrestling is one of the only sports that everyone in the world can understand. There probably aren’t many people in the world who haven’t wrestled around or roughhoused with siblings and friends. The desire to test one’s strength and physical ability is innate — kids everywhere do it for fun! Competitive wrestling, in a formal setting, is a sport understood at its most primal level.

 

Anybody Can Wrestle

Wrestling doesn't discriminate. No matter your body type — height or weight — there is a place for you in wrestling. In some sports, only certain body types are able to succeed. In wrestling, as long as you are tough and have the desire to win, nothing else matters. Weight classes ensure fairness among-st the competitors, so you’re never too small or too big to participate.

Most wrestling teams don’t even cut their athletes from participating for lack of skill or talent. Rather, it’s more common for a wrestler to get cut from a team for not meeting academic, citizenship, or other (nonphysical) requirements. As long as you have the desire to be a member of the team, that’s where you belong.

 Personal Growth & Development

Sports are a great way to establish and reinforce positive personality traits and characteristics. Wrestling, in particular, embraces and teaches an array of life lessons that may not be as strongly promoted in other sports:

 

Self-confidence

When you wrestle, you can’t rely on anyone but yourself. You have to be accountable for your own successes and failures. For this reason, wrestlers must be confident. Without a positive attitude, there will be no success. From the onset, wrestlers learn to count on themselves, gaining confidence on and off the wrestling mats.

Discipline

Waking up before the sun rises for early morning runs, fasting to meet a desired weight, sacrificing a social life in order to train and compete —these are only a few of a wrestler’s duties. One of the most beneficial lessons a wrestler will learn is that this sport requires an insane work ethic. Sometimes, you have to do things that aren’t that “fun” to reach your goals.

 

Mental Toughness

Wrestlers learn to be both physically and mentally tough. It takes a tremendous amount of toughness to pick yourself up off of the mat when you’re losing, and it takes incredible will power to lose that last pound before a weigh-in. You’ll never be able to name a successful wrestler with a weak mind because, well, there isn’t one.

Sportsmanship

People who have never wrestled have a hard time understanding how mentally and physically taxing it is on competitors. Because of this, wrestlers develop more than just a sense of respect for each other — they develop an admiration. They know how difficult it is to win.

Opponents are always required to shake hands before and after each match. Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon to see foes turn into friends after the final whistle blows. Matches often end with embraces, and sometimes the loser will even raise the winner’s hand!

 

Competitiveness

Every sport teaches its athletes to be competitive. However, wrestling is different because your team essentially becomes your opponent. In order to stay on the team, you must survive the practices. In order to compete for the team, you’ll need to beat everyone on your team who is in your weight class. To win in competition, you need to train harder than your opponent. You need to want it more. No matter how you look at it, the odds are going to be stacked against you. Relax! You’ll soon thrive on good competition.

 

Physical Fitness

The degree of athleticism it takes to succeed in wrestling is second to none. Although many wrestlers don’t start out as “natural athletes,” wrestling improves balance, reflexes, strength, endurance, and agility. Wrestlers are often very lean and strong for their body weight. A wrestler’s physique is further reinforced by the body fat and hydration tests that are enforced at the scholastic and collegiate level.

The knowledge they’ll gain about proper dieting and weight maintenance will benefit wrestlers long after their competitive careers are over. Wrestling will undoubtedly improve an athlete’s capabilities in other sports as well.

Self-Defence

Wrestling teaches the basic skills about how to protect yourself on the event of a physical altercation:

·         Body positioning

·         How to control an opponent

·         How to defend against different types of attacks

·         Toughness

SPECIFIC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES.

You are going to be faced with many decisions in your life and getting involved with wrestling is, perhaps, one of the best decisions you could make! What you learn in wrestling can be translated into nearly any endeavour. Keep in mind that, like anything, what you’ll get out of wrestling is determined by how much effort you’re willing to put in. In order to grasp its maximum benefit, be prepared to put forth 110 percent in training and competitions.

Making a wrestler in a mixed media form both in 2D and 3D form.

I also want to show that not only people can be used for entertaining others through combat, because this sport is not allowed for all ages. If it’s made in the forms of robots that are remotely controlled which is the size of human beings kids can participate in it. Which even enlightens the sport world.

          You won’t be just playing it in the game through a screen but you would be able to feel it, see the impact, feel the stunts on your hands and everyone goes home without a broken bone or injury. If anything, basic wrestling skills will help you better understand how to keep yourself safe in some of the most undesirable situations.

PRELIMINARY DATA.

1.  Define your objective. (Topic)

 Why are you doing the experiment and what are the expected results? A good experiment will tell you something, even if you get negative data. Make sure to include all necessary controls.

2.  Find the best method to get the job done.

With so many protocols out there, it can be overwhelming to try and narrow it down to just one. After taking into account the cost of the reagents, whether someone you know has done it before, and how widely the technique has been used, in the end, you just have to pick one and go with it! This has to do with the cost of materials and how it’s done.

3.  Write out the protocol. 

This step will help you identify all the reagents you will need for your experiment, and help you gauge the time that you will need to carry out the procedure. Additionally, it is much easier to follow a protocol that you have written yourself, rather than one that was written by someone else.(shown with pictures)

4.  Obtain all necessary materials in advance, and make sure they are all in good condition.

You don’t want to be in the middle of your experiment when you suddenly run out of materials. As in welding, accuracy is the key. Don’t take your chances.

5.  Prepare a timeline.

Try to realistically estimate how long each procedure will take, and if you’re not sure, double the time that you think it will take. Don’t try to cram too much into one day – you are more likely to make errors when you are rushing.

6.  Do the experiment. 

Prepare everything you can in advance, and start EARLY. Make sure you have booked the necessary equipment ahead of time, and avoid interruptions.

7.  Record everything.

Write down any deviations from the protocol, and any difficulties you experienced carrying out the experiment. This will help you make better sense of the data and troubleshoot the experiment if necessary.

8.  Analyse the results.

 Hopefully the experiment turned out as you expected, and the data have lead you to the next step of the project. If not, it’s not the end of the world! Go back to your notes and find out where the experiment could have faltered. Talk to people who have experience with the technique to help you troubleshoot, and don’t be afraid to ask around for advice! If things always worked the first time, they wouldn’t call it “research”.
