The Medics in ECW were a husband and wife medical team. Charlie was a Paramedic working in NJ and PA, Rosemary was a Registered Nurse working in NJ. Kathy Fitzpatrick (Paul Hayman's assistant), worked as a receptionist in the same doctor's office as Rosemary and asked if Charlie (then a Paramedic student), would work for ECW as the "Ring side Physician". Charlie of course said yes and from then on worked for ECW, later incorporating Rosemary as his partner. Both started when ECW gave out free tickets to entice people to watch and ended when ECW stopped paying the wrestlers due to financial troubles.
Today (2011), Charlie and Rosemary are divorced, Charlie is still in NJ working as a medic and Rosemary is reported to have remarried and moved down south.
Russian wrestling, particularly styles like Sambo and Greco-Roman, often emphasizes grappling techniques, throws, and ground control, reflecting a strong focus on combat sports. In contrast, American wrestling, especially folkstyle, places a greater emphasis on mat control, riding, and scoring points through maneuvers such as escapes and reversals. The training culture also differs; Russian wrestlers often undergo rigorous, state-sponsored training, while American wrestlers may come from diverse backgrounds, including high school and collegiate programs. Additionally, American wrestling features more weight classes and styles, including freestyle and folkstyle, which are less prevalent in Russian wrestling.
Wrapping an arm around an opponent's head in wrestling is known as a "headlock." This technique involves securing the opponent's head under your arm, which can help control their movements and limit their ability to escape. It can be used to set up various offensive moves, such as throws or pins, and is often employed in both amateur and professional wrestling. Proper execution is crucial to maintain control while minimizing the risk of injury to both wrestlers.
In most cases, yes. Most wrestlers come up with basic storylines and costumes. Then graphic artists and creative writers add details, but mostly the wrestlers do all the work, especially when they are starting out. The way this works is that the wrestler creates his character for the most part. Sometimes the character is slightly adjusted by management to flow with a storyline. However, most wrestlers DO NOT get to control a wrestling script! They might be able to put in some input but they do not create it! They only "act" it out! Now some wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Stone Cold (there are a few others) get what is called "creative liberty" in which they control everything about their character. That means they get to choose what they do, who they beat, who they lose to, and all that. Wrestlers do get some say in what they do but not much. Mr. Hounderz I'ma pro wrestler and yes we have to come up with everything from our names to our finishing moves the hard part is thinking of a stage name finishing move theme songs and costume but with the wwe it is different the only thing that makes them good as the big wrestlers but they can never meet up to Australian wrestling we don't have people writing scripts or anything like the wwe does
2 wrestlers start in the middle of a mat. The referee blows the whistle and you try to pin your opponent. In most wrestling speed is your main component when you're trying to get a take down on your opponent. In college wrestling mostly everyone is fast so they try to get hand control or hand wrestle. then, you do a break down to get your opponent ready to pin, so you have to get them flat on their stomach. Finally, you pin them. If in the three rounds nobody gets pinned who ever has the most points at the end of round 3 wins.
The key strategies and tactics involved in the Greco defense style of wrestling include maintaining a strong stance, using leverage to control opponents, and focusing on upper body techniques such as throws and clinches. Wrestlers in this style aim to prevent their opponents from getting a hold of their legs and use their arms and upper body strength to dominate the match.
In collegiate wrestling, legal painful moves are techniques that can cause discomfort or pain but are still within the rules of the sport. These include holds such as the crossface, which applies pressure to the face and neck, and various pinning combinations that can put stress on joints. Additionally, moves like the guillotine or ankle pick can be strategically painful while remaining legal. Wrestlers must execute these techniques with control and sportsmanship to avoid penalties.
What the American and Russian wrestlers sought. Answers: ARMS CONTROL, cloth, vocal, barren, egoism
In a way, your 'gimick' is decided by the WWE in some cases. However some wrestlers have contract clauses to say that they have some or all creative control over their personality. As well as this, wrestlers change it if the fans arent reacting. Wrestlers with bad gimicks tend to either change gimicks or just ebd up having to leave the company.
Actually, it's a little of both. First, professional wrestling is not really a sport, since the "story-line" is set by the promoter and the wrestlers portray their characters, much like actors in a play; years ago, there were occasional "scientific matches" where the outcome was not predetermined, but for the most part, wrestling is like a soap opera for a predominantly male audience: it has excitement, competition, violence (much of which is faked, but some of which results in very real injuries), and drama. However, unlike a game (football, baseball, etc), in wrestling, the promoters control who wins the matches. That said, to be a successful wrestler requires a number of skills: athleticism, acrobatic ability, and acting talent. So, yes there is some art to it.
On the TV they are not really wrestling they are acting. On TV yes but in real life of course not.
