It has been around for a little over 100 years. Wrestling was done as a form of entertainment which was found at entertainment locations such as carnivals. Most of these performances were done by college wrestlers who needed money. Over the course of time, wrestling in the United States became as popular as boxing and baseball during the 20th century.[2] By the late 1950s, wrestling became more of a show than an athletic competition. This was due to someone named Antonio Rocco and Gorgeous George who fascinated the crowd due to their impressive holds and acrobatic maneuvers. Both these wrestlers brought attraction to wrestling. [3] Towards the turn of the 20th century, wrestling started to draw away more people from boxing and becoming more popular. While it was never confirmed, the boxing commission started to spread that “wrestling was in the fix”. This caused many fans to turn on wrestling and lost a lot of viewers.[2] Eventually wrestling became an entertainment show due to the loss of viewership.College Wrestling{{main article|History of collegiate wrestling}}OlympicsThe United States is a powerhouse at Olympic wrestling.
