Wrestling itself has been around maybe as long ago as the dawn of man, the oldest recorded proof being the Egyptian hieroglyphics. The earliest form of "Modern" pro wrestling began in the late 1800's, wrestling as we know it today, however, started in the 50's, when wrestling became a "work" and became gimmick based with superstars like "Gorgeous George"
