    Episode 11: The Attitude and Ruthless Aggression of

    Wrestling
    I. Introduction (3 mins)
    (some kind of spiel like “fave mo ba wrestling noong bata ka?”)

    II. Facts about Wrestling (8 mins)


    A. Did you know that wrestling is one of the oldest forms of combat, referenced
    in the Iliad and depicted in 15,000-year-old cave drawings in France? Early
    Egyptian and Babylonian reliefs show moves still used today.
    B. Did you know that it first became popular in Greece? It is actually used in
    Ancient Greece as training for soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Kasama rin
    sya sa makalumang Olympic Games.
    C. Alam kong WWE pinakasikat, pero alam niyo na ba na marami palang
    different forms of wrestling? Meron sa China, England, France, Arabia and
    Scottland to name a few.
    D. Did you know that the wrestling we all know now is only one type of
    wrestling? It’s called Freestyle Wrestling. MMA is also considered as
    wrestling.

    III. The Hidden Charm behind Wrestling (8 mins)


    A. Wrestling eventually pervaded America and WWE was born (u can use this
    as a transition for this section). Why are people so attracted to wrestling? →
    Kasi it’s a source of entertainment.
    B. Alam nating fake ang wrestling, pero bakit nga ba siya ginawang fake kung
    ginagamit naman talaga siya for combat in real life? And bakit kahit alam
    natin na fake ang wrestling, popular pa rin siya? → Kasi nga entertaining
    siya. Just like movies and series, it’s fictional yet so engrossing. So ginamit na
    nila to as a form of entertainment.
    a. WWE wrestling matches are made to look like real fights the same way
    fight scenes in movies are staged in which the actors or actresses have
    to pretend to beat people up without actually doing it. ANG
    PINAGKAIBA lang is, sa WWE, di sila nagamit ng stuntman.

    IV. VERDICT: Should we continue to support wrestling? (10 mins)


    A. Study shows na wrestling has negative effects on children, do you still
    encourage it? Why?
    1. Possible Answer: Wrestling is a spectacle. It is a spectacle of excess.
    B. Is wrestling a sport?
    1. Yes and No.
    1. Yes, kasi gingamit talaga in the past and kasali sa Olympics
    2. No, kasi wrestling is merely a spectacle (what matters is not
    what it thinks, but what it sees)
    Note (you dont have to say this verbatim; use your own words kahit tagalog pa yan):
    The function of the wrestler is not to win; it is to go exactly through the motions which
    are expected of him.
