Wrestling Arena

"Are you not entertained? No? Really? There's just no pleasing some people..."

Wrestling and boxing have deep roots that stretch back to antiquity and myth. The ancient Sumerian poem 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' portrays the eponymous hero as a powerful fighter, wrestling the beast Enkidu into submission. Furthermore, boxing dates back to ancient Greece - Homer mentions boxing in his epic 'the Iliad' in the 8th century BC, and fist-fighting - known as 'pankration' - was a common sight at early Olympic Games. More broadly, fist-fighting was a common way of settling disputes and providing entertainment. Oil-wrestling, for instance, was a type of folk wrestling practiced across eastern Europe, and is now Turkey's national sport. Another more severe type of combat was 'bear-baiting', where a man would be pitted against, predictably, a bear. Whilst this became popular in England in later centuries, it thrived at first in ancient Slavic regions. If the warrior could endure for long enough, he would be given a spear to, hopefully, finish the creature off and save himself from further maulings!
