5 Ways in which Pro Wrestling League will promote wrestling in India

#4 Generating interest for the sport of wrestling

The sport of wrestling could well do with a shot in the arm to re-ignite interest levels – something the Pro Wrestling League looks set to accomplish

The very fact that a league that features some of the top wrestlers in the world is being conducted in India could do wonders for resurrecting interest levels in what is one of the most ancient sports embraced by our culture.

With 20 Olympic medalists ready to mix it up on the mat for their respective franchises, the PWL creates a perfect opportunity for wrestling fanatics and general fans alike to get behind their respective cities and support the rise of wrestling as a sport that is worthy of the same kind of attention that football and cricket incites.

Easily one of the sports that achieves the most for our country on the highest level, overshadowing the occasional moments of international acclaim that a sport like tennis or badminton encounters, it is inexplicable how our wrestlers and wrestling as a sport often flies under the radar in terms of mainstream attention and publicity.

The inaugral edition of the PWL promises to rectify that malady as it is a golden opportunity for the audiences to be privy to some of the stars of the sport that have earned their stripes for India on platforms like the Commonwealth Games and even the Olympics.
