WWE: Beyond Entertainment


Source: Google
I am sure most of us have fond memories of watching those semi-naked, customized and printed undergarment clad bodies, doing a sort of fighting in the ring which includes special tactics of holding each other; of picking one another in the mid-air and tossing them around like some toy. Yeah!! You have to be quite a fool for guessing that I am talking about World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). And Yes, people are still crazy for it. Specifically, the viewership of this evergreen show is not only restricted to the school- going students. Rather, Grown-up Boys (moreover, adults) like me and my brother along with many of our friends, are one of the members of that die-hard Fan Community, who eagerly wait for the once-in-a-lifetime matches held in the most awaiting show of the year-> WRESTLEMANIA.


Having grown up with the speculation that all these awesome matches were scripted beforehand; I was always unable to push that down my throat. But now being granted some presence of mind by the almighty, the truth is hidden from no-one. Additionally, looking at this booming entertainment industry beyond what the fights present to the viewers, we see that it depicts the common and unending tussle going on between the Good and the Evil, in our lives. In the beginning, the GOOD is outnumbered by the self-propelling forces of the EVIL, as obvious. But Just when every hope dies; The faith in Good trembles and the corpses are packed in the coffin, then suddenly the Coffin is thrown open and BOOM, The DeAd Man- UNDERTAKER Returns, leaving the perpetrators aghast in terror and then even the Gods can’t prevent their demise.


So, beyond presenting us with the Glamorous Entertainment (I am sure you haven’t been able to forget Lita, Trish, Stacy, EVe and the current ones too-> Bella Twins, AJ Lee etc.), WWE has always and would always set an example before us, inspiring us to lead a daring and “NEVER GIVE UP” life. Be it Through the “HUSTLE, LOYALTY, RESPECT” of John CENA, who comes out every night, energized and boosted up to accept any challenge thrown by anyone and  give his best to that; Be it through the short and courageous REY MYSTERIO, who has developed the agility in his moves in compensation of the lack of physical strength; Be it through the humble, Down to earth and friendly actions of superstars such as Christian, Sheamus, Shawn Micheals, RIc Flair etc. and most recently through the actions of New WWE World Heavy Weight Champion “DANIEL BRYAN”. You could beat him, hurt him, make him bleed, insult him publicly, thrash him, toss him around everywhere, make him wrestle with anyone - even giants but you could not deprive him of his determination and resolute will power to achieve his goal. And it’s because of these qualities rather than the number of matches won-or-lost, that people around the world have such respect and deep gratitude for these superstars. The results of these fights are momentary as compared to the eternal values and motivation that gets imbibed by the people watching them.  Not just WWE but everything happening around us is screeching at the top of their voices to make us learn something or the other. But As they say, “BEAUTY lies in the eyes of the observer”. So, it all depends on you, whether you want to look around for inspiration or are you satisfied with that dumb, grim and goalless life of yours.!!!
