WWE is professional wrestling that is popular in the

United States. The events that WWE holds are promoted

as sport entertainment rather than as pure sport. WWE is

a professional wrestling that is promoting it self that was

first founded by Jess McMahon and Troots Mondt in 1952.

WWE has large numbers of viewers and hold

approximately 320 television and non television events

per year. WWE has about 36 million viewers in 150

different countries

WWE brings violence through the medium of television and paper view called Extreme Rules. WWE catches the audience attention and the audience heart race faster.

WWE like to bring ‘hardcore’ matches that are filled with rehearsed routines. From its introduction as a form of entertainment WWE wrestling has been getting better and more attractive to its audience. The professionalism of the athletes has given the entertainment provided by WWE a unique style that is undeniable close to reality. The wrestling matches are dramatic in nature and there is still a sense of tension with the chance of mistakes and injury top the athletes.

WWE has a policy that carries out health testing which

they’ve had in place for several years, to ensure the

athletes are both physically and mentally stable.

If any professional wrestlers is in breach of using violence

outside of their own routines towards the audience the

WWE talent will be immediately suspended and

investigated.

Viewers that are under 18 years old can easily be influenced by what they watch on the television. The children can imitate that moves on their brothers and sisters that could hurt or break there bones.

For example when I was 11 or 12 years I hurt my shoulders because I picked up my class mates that was heavier than me, I repeatedly picked up my class mates until I eventually injured my self for couple of days and this was due to watching wrestling.

WWE has created a video, which shows their viewers and audience that wrestling moves are dangerous and the audience should not copy the moves anywhere as they must only be carried out by trained professionals

Every week WWE brings violence to its audiences broadcasting two new episodes.

However WWE does not think about the viewers reaction to the violence when watching television. Most of the audience that watch wrestling shows are teenagers, where they will be influenced by what they watch on the television.

When children are watching WWE it is very difficult for their parents to take responsibility for their children’s viewing especially in this day age with access to the internet making wrestling videos even more accessible. (Youtube, Daily Motion, Yahoo Video)

Parents can take precautions by putting a parental lock on the wrestling channel to stop their children accessing these images.

When children are watching WWE it can be counter productive and lead to physical fatigue in young people who are likely to stay up very late at night to watch wrestling as it start every Tuesday’s at 1am and finishes at 4:15am and on Fridays 10pm tell 12am.

I believe that WWE is a very violent sport industry that has been blamed for destroying superstars health.

In wrestling industry most of the WWE superstar takes steroids to keep the make them more muscular and stronger.

Chris Benoit took a lot of steroids and this was said to be at fault for the tragedy that he was involved in. Christopher Michael committed suicide after killing his wife and two children.

The doctor called McDevitt said prescribed testosterone as part of a treatment for testosterone replacement therapy, which was a common medical practice for people who have used steroids in the past played a large role in the events that unfolded with Christopher Michael.

WWE has violent matches involving women fighters known in wrestling as divas. In 2013 there was two diva’s called AJ Lee and Kaitlyn which was a battle that was violent, bloody and one of most barbaric matches in the history of the sport.

In October 2000 two of the most iconic WWE divas called Lita and Jacqueline changed the WWE Diva industry as they went on show case hardcore matches. As they they smash each other with broomsticks, toilet seats in a hardcore match in that moved backstage.

In conclusion I think that WWE is a violent sport industry that has an effect on teenagers across the world.

I think that WWE has the right to broadcast their show because in most cases the violence is controlled and they people performing the acts are trained professionals which is always made clear during the shows.

I would agree that the sport should be blocked for people under the age of 18 as the younger viewers are most vulnerable to injuries through imitating the moves of the professionals.

There parents should block the channel so that the teenager should not be allowed to watch the wrestling however it is still difficult to censor completely with the internet and peoples access to this source of information.

I believe that parents play a big role in preventing the negative impacts that can befall some younger viewers. It is the parents responsibility to ensure their own children understand the seriousness of violence.
