Wrestling is a fascinating sport involving physical strength, skill, and tenacity as combatants strive to “pin” their opponents. Professional wrestling has enjoyed popularity for generations, and it garnered $748 million dollars in revenue in 2021. This form of wrestling has been considered entertainment rather than a sport because of the sometimes-bizarre personas of the participants and the pitting of “good guys” against “villains” in carefully choreographed matches.

Charles Dickens (1812–1870), the popular, prolific author of Britain’s Victorian Age, penned a poignant introduction to his famous novel A Tale of Two Cities, published in 1859. Now that was a long time ago, yet his description of that time certainly fits this modern age. He wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
