What Does The Work Of Event Security In Wrestling Entail?

By Rob Sutter


It's clear that event security performs some of the best work possible, whether you're talking about wrestling shows or what have you. When it comes to this case, though, I believe that they have much more to deal with. Keep in mind that a number of fans can become quite unruly, which leads to instances that may disrupt not only the flow of the match but the enjoyment the rest of the crowd has. Security must perform work in order to make sure these occurrences don't come about.

As a fan myself, you can be certain that I watch a number of clips on YouTube, some of them more outrageous in wrestling than others. For example, I have seen my fair share of examples of fans becoming so unruly that they would leap the barricade in order to get into the ring. These are the instances that the camera tries not to focus on but when matches appear fragmented or cameras cut sporadically, it's probably a safe bet something unplanned happens. Fans are, at times, the result.

It's hard to figure out why these fans continually make trouble when they should not. If you ask me, it could come about because of a catalog of instances, not just one which can simply pop into someone's mind. Maybe they don't like someone in the ring and want to get their hands on them or perhaps it's just a matter of getting attention and getting on TV as a result. It's clear that everyone is different but I don't think that motives should matter that much.

I believe that while fans have a right to be loud at shows, those who take matters too far are susceptible to event security. Such fans have to understand that authorities the likes of The Protective Group have been able to work well in the past, seeing as how they've been involved in a number of scenarios. These could range anywhere from events meant to raise money for charity to sporting events of this nature. No matter where they are, you can be certain that the element of professionalism is going to be kept.

I enjoy the idea of going to live wrestling shows as much as the next fan but even I know that there are limits to what you can do. You have to be able to restrain yourself if you become emotionally invested in matches. Sometimes frantic behavior is going to come about, though, which means that measures have to be taken in order to diffuse such situations. Event security has proven itself worthy in this regard and I think that shows have been proven greater because of it.
