Wrestling is another form of spectacle that parallels to Greek drama which was the first spectacle. I find it interesting just how similar the two are. Both we re used for entertainment and used things that are bigger and better than real life to entertain people. Wrestlers put on very elaborate shows to create drama and passion and scenes that get the audience all riled up in the same fashion that Greek dramas and shows in the coliseum did. People want to watch spectacles and things with a dramatic flare because its exciting and different then their normal day to day life. When people are so enthralled in a show whether it be wrestling or a drama it becomes art because of the spectacle and how it makes them want to watch.
The following picture show how wrestling and drama uses costume and drama scenes to create spectacle.
