Despite the great popularity of freestyle wrestling, the accusations that it is a commercial and representative game have been chasing it for years, and some describe it as a show sport, not a combat.

The wrestling coach of Egypt, Dr. Ashraf Hafez, told Al-Jazeera Net that free wrestling aims to work "Shaw" by choosing certain types of wrestlers and mastering the representative movements they perform on the circuit, indicating that watching the slow match will easily reveal that the beating is not real, as we find that the response The wrestler’s action begins before he receives a representative blow, because if it were true, he would have had a concussion, and this is well understood by boxing experts.

The coach - who supervised the training of Karam Jaber, the Olympic medalist in Athens 2004 - confirms his view with many indications, including the lack of respect for the rulers by the rulers, and there is no "real" sports game in the world where the referee is not respected, just as it always is when the wrestler falls and starts Ruling on counting, he has to stand in the third period for more artificial contention.

Hafez explains that there is a clear and repeated acting scene that laughs him in free wrestling, when the wrestler pushes his opponent in the rope and you find him running back and forth even though he is supposed to be completely tired of hitting and cannot defend himself, just as when the wrestler is lying on the ground you find his opponent paying him Several consecutive kick kicks even though one real kick is capable of breaking his ribs or even his neck.

Hafez says that free wrestling is based on excitement and exaggeration, so you find fellow wrestlers joining him in the fight, and this is illegal, just as the wrestler flies and falls on his back shows great pain, even though it is a normal movement that our wrestler performs in training fifty times effortlessly.

Despite the scenes of wrestling, its stars have become one of the most famous and richest in light of television broadcasts and huge advertisements as a result of their large masses. Even some Arab countries - including Saudi Arabia - held free wrestling festivals, and paid British boxer Tyson Fury $ 15 million for one day in which he participated in wrestling matches .

And the theory of the Egyptian coach confirms the recognition of the famous wrestler Hulk Hogan in the documentary Andre the giant that he agreed in advance through a written contract with the giant wrestler on both big and small during the dispute between them in WrestleMania III show, in a clear confirmation on the representation of the struggles.

A play The
mixed martial games expert and commentator on "BN Sports" Habib Al-Hadhiri of Al-Jazeera Net says, "Free wrestling is 100% representative and has nothing to do with reality, and it is better to call it a play, because the winner is determined in advance and training in all matches through several proofs. Behind the scenes, take into account the excitement and stay away from any danger to the competitors.

Al-Hadhiri explains the great popularity of the game with the psychological factors of the American people, who are predominantly cinematic and passionate about heroism, so wrestlers of huge structure or muscular muscles are chosen to increase the audience's fascination.

He adds that the sport of mixed combat games pulls the rug out of free wrestling in terms of popularity and money as well, because it is realistic and its competitions are violent and bloody.

Also, one of the strongest indications that the performance in the game is representative that the strikes that are supposed to be strong and with bare hands do not cause any injuries or even scratches to the wrestlers, even though their counterparts from combat games such as boxing and mixed fighting games are bloody as a result of real strong strikes.
