Professional wrestling is a unique mass entertainment category. It involves highly talented and trained athletes, yet it is not really a competitive sport. It’s more of a competitive sports portrayal or mimicry. Today, it is widely understood by wrestling fans that the outcomes of matches are scripted and known ahead of time by everyone but the fans. But as recently as the 1970s, this was not the case, and controversy raged about whether professional wrestling was real or not. Today, it is called “sports entertainment,” a category name adopted only after it became painfully obvious what the reality behind professional wrestling really was. This naked attempt to dupe the fans, even for entertainment purposes, seems “spiritually problematic?” What is Creator’s perspective?

If football is the sports mimicry of warfare, with its plethora of military terminology and complex field strategies, professional wrestling is a mimicry of the gladiator “fight to the death” matches held during the latter days of the Roman Empire. The interlopers are always attempting to corrupt humans at every turn, so it would seem that they would rather see an actual return of deadly gladiator spectacles, rather than watered-down mimicry of them. Is this evidence of successful human resistance and human spiritual maturity as compared to Rome? Or if given enough time and desire on the part of the interlopers, would real gladiator fights to the death eventually return? What can Creator tell us?

In the 1950s the highest four paid athletes were a boxer and three wrestlers. So it’s no exaggeration to classify professional wrestling as one of the most popular mass entertainment activities of the last 70 years. Considering how little variety there actually is in the matches themselves, this is really an extraordinary phenomenon. One would think that people would eventually get bored of seeing the same thing over and over and over again. What can Creator tell us?

Talk show host Bill Maher had a number of guest wrestlers on one of his shows and everyone expressed genuine outrage when he stated the obvious, that professional wrestling wasn’t real. He also wondered out loud how healthy wrestling was for public consumption, pointing out that the solution to every problem in the wrestling world is violence. The anger this question generated on the part of the guest wrestlers was quite startling—they somehow thought the question was unfair and, of course, none of them had a good answer for it. What is Creator’s perspective?

In the 1980s, wrestlers widely adopted gimmick names and bigger-than-life roles. So you ended up with a cast of misfit “superheroes” with names like Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and supervillains like The Undertaker and The Earthquake. They were presented as “god-like men” and had egos and arrogance to go along with the portrayal. It really seems that this is the kind of game the Anunnaki like to play, adopting “epic names” for themselves, and even changing them often. What can Creator tell us about the resemblance between the interlopers and human superheroes?

One of the iconic villain wrestlers was the Iron Sheik. His real name was Hossein Vaziri. Vaziri was born in Iran and became a national Iranian hero during the reign of the Shah, as wrestling is one of the most popular sports in Iran. In his youth, he idolized Iranian Olympic Gold-Medalist wrestler Gholamreza Takhti. Takhti was politically outspoken. Takhti reportedly took his own life, but Vaziri was convinced he was murdered by the Iranian Government for being politically outspoken. When the Shah was deposed, Vaziri, who served as the Shah’s bodyguard for some years, immediately fled Iran and he eventually landed in professional wrestling in the United States. What happened to Gold-Medalist Takhti, and did Vaziri do the wise thing in fleeing his country? What can Creator tell us?

The staple storyline in professional wrestling is the babyface versus the heel. The babyface is the good wrestler who follows the rules and treats the fans with respect, while the heel is the evil wrestler who breaks the rules and treats the fans like dirt. Heels would engender such disdain from fans, that they actually faced genuine danger from enraged fans. Some heel wrestlers were beaten up and even stabbed. And some fans would even put drain cleaner in squirt guns and try to spray it into the heel wrestler’s eyes. This hardly seems like family-friendly entertainment. What are the karmic implications for both the wrestlers and fans in this theatre of evil, where it’s not the rules but what you can seemingly get away with that counts?

In professional wrestling, there is no character more inept, more disdained, more incompetent, and even powerless than the referee. As the law and order in professional wrestling, the referee is the ultimate dimwitted stooge. This comes across as an inside joke amongst the interlopers, that we humans actually find entertainment in the way they disparage us and our desire for fair competition and interactions with each other. What is Creator’s perspective?

Wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper died in his early sixties, saying multiple times that he would not make it to age sixty-five. One day after he died, Hulk Hogan got a cell phone call from Piper that said, “I saw the light. I’m walking with Jesus my brother, walking with Jesus. Loving you and praying for you.” Hogan shared the message in a biographical documentary of Piper, and it sure sounded like him. Roddy Piper was one of the most volcanic personalities in the history of professional wrestling. Yet, he appeared to make it to the light on his own. Was this call genuine? What can Creator tell us?

An unusually high number of professional wrestlers have died way too young. So much so, that it’s a wrestling culture issue. Why have so many wrestlers exited early? Lightworker Healing Protocol sessions have been done for many of them. Did most of them need a Spirit Rescue? Can Creator share how the Lightworker Healing Protocol is the best means of helping these departed entertainers? And how practicing Empowered Prayer is perhaps a better use of one’s limited time than consuming endless hours of such entertainment?
