Danger can be found in every sport, and wrestling are no more prone to injury’s to soccer, football, track stars, lacrosse. Wrestling creates a sense of accountable for one’s actions. Those that work hard, succeed. There is no one to hide behind; every flaw and mistake is brought forth in a match. It takes a great deal of mental toughness and sacrifice nights with friends for extra practice and consideration, favorite food to lose the extra pound, and sleep when one needs to wake up at 4am to go for a run before school begins.

    WWE case study

    The case is all about the evolution of the Wrestling industry, rise and eventual fall of WWF (E). This case generates issues about the evolution, growth, competition, financial stress and other aspects of the wrestling company, WWF (E). Originally WWF was founded by McMahon Sr. and later won over by his son Vince McMahon Jr. The wrestling industry has seen many ups and downs but WWF and WCW were the companies that remained there even at the time of over saturation face by the wrestling field. But when competition grew, WWF almost lost the battle. But the new ambition built in the heart and mind of the young Vince McMahon Jr. led WWE to new horizons of wrestling industry. He improvised the company into an expanding organization and was always capitalizing on opportunities as a strategy to scare off his competitors. He was eager to take risks and spend relentlessly on his work so that he could give his competitors a magnified but false image of his capital. He helped turning the fighting sport into mainstream family entertainment. McMahon's ego forced him to offer hart, an aging star an offer he could not afford. He also introduced celebrities in the wrestling field bringing a harmony between the wrestling and musical entertainment world. Vince's innovative style was to concentrate on the character development of the wrestlers. He wanted to cover most of the segments of the population from children to adults. Because of his harsh efforts, a small wrestling company grew up to become a large empire in the wrestling industry. It set its own trend. However, later WWE was stuck by its own ways which was due to the lack of an appropriate strategy. Keeping control over the ever-growing industry as well as facing the hard core competitors to keep pace in the market was quite a tough job to do.…

    Rice cakes and starbucks

    Dan is a caring father and actor. He is very complex and he suffers from great diffidence.He is not very improvising and is scared of taking chances. As much as his wife believes in him to be able to make it in the business, as little does he believe in it himself. When Beth suggests that they all move to L.A he doesn't want to go.
