Please change [[Cumberland wrestling]] to [[Cumberland Wrestling]] in the section Folk Style disciplines
 Done - although as Cumberland Wrestling is a redirect to Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling would this be a better description? - Arjayay (talk) 14:24, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I'll leave the call on Cumberland Wrestling or Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling to someone with more knowledge than mine. Visiting IP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.147.241 (talk) 14:29, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Origins

The statement "The origins of wrestling go back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France" requires a citation, but you won't find any respectable scholarly work that supports this view, not even close. Kileytoo (talk) 19:37, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "[citation needed]" in "The settlers also found wrestling to be popular among Native Americans.[citation needed]" and reference page 123 of The Native American Identity in Sports: Creating and Preserving a Culture By Frank A. Salamone. Page 123 confirms the statement aforementioned in the wiki article, stating "There are accounts of Native American wrestling reaching back to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Native Americans." (Salamone, 123). Turiyasega (talk) 02:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Competitive Pro wrestling?

"Professional competitive wrestling is uncommon.[citation needed]" - I'm not even sure what that statement means. If it means that 'grecko-roman' or other styles of wrestling are scarcely deemed to be professional; I wouldn't agree; as I cannot find a single reference to a match that was deemed to be professional. If it means that professional wrestling is uncommon, this is also untrue. It's also not true that competition in professional wrestling is uncommon; as there are "shoot" professional wrestling matches.

The article also mentions 'Anglo-American' Wrestling, as the title for traditional professional wrestling. Professional wrestling originated from Europe; and owes it's history a lot more to Joint Promotions; than America. I feel as though this part of the article is very POV against pro wrestling. It also can't be said that GFW, ROH and WWE organise professional wrestling; as that would imply that they are governing bodies; wheras they are independent companies (Even with worldwide appeal). They have no organisation over other wrestling in the country, other than those that they are affilated with (Say, EVOLVE). Lee Vilenski(talk) 15:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

edit request #1 article: Wrestling Under: HISTORY:

Change: "Literary references to it occur as early as in the ancient Indian Vedas. The Iliad contains references, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC"

To:"Literary references to it occur as early as the Hebrew Bible and ancient Indian Vedas. In The Bible the patriarch Jacob is said to have wrestled with an angel (or, with God)[citation #A], and one of his wives, Rachel, uses a female-wrestling metaphor.[citation #B] The Iliad contains references, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC"

[citation #A] Genesis 32:24-32. [citation #B] Genesis 30:8.


Edit request #2 article: Wrestling Under: By COUNTRY:

Change: 

   "In Pharaonic Egypt, wrestling has been evidenced by documentation on tombs (circa 2300 BC) and Egyptian artwork (2000-1085 BC).
   Greek wrestling was a popular form of martial art, at least in Ancient Greece (about 1100 to 146 BC).[4]"

To: "In Pharaonic Egypt, wrestling has been evidenced by documentation on tombs (circa 2300 BC) and Egyptian artwork (2000-1085 BC). In Harran, (between Syria and Turkey), and in Canaan (Israel) Jacob and his wife Rachel display familiarity with male and female wrestling (1750-1730 BC).[citation #C] Greek wrestling was a popular form of martial art, at least in Ancient Greece (about 1100 to 146 BC).[4]"

[citation #C] Genesis 28:1-10, 29:1-4, 30:8, 31:18, 32:22, 32:24-32.

The reason for these requests is for the sake of additional completeness, not subtracting anything. Also, because the painting depicting Jacob wrestling with the angel is on the article page, but, without supplying the specific reference citation in the Bible text in which the event depicted can be found, nor, the references indicating the countries in which the events occurred.
