    Personal Narrative: Dan Gable

    Third, the part that draws me closest to Dan Gable is that he has wrestled. He was literally obsessed with the sport. He once said, “ I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling.” Dan Gable did get married in life, but I believe his first love in life will always be wrestling. He didn’t just compete because he felt people wanted him to or because he felt obligated. He competed because he loved the sport of wrestling.…

    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. He'd rather stay in the UK so he can ”...blame her forever for holdning him back... ” and ”...for making it impossible to realise his dreams...” Already then we see that he is lacking self-confidence and the fact that he does know it. He then changes inflection though and does agree with her idea which shows that he is not all a wreck but also has somewhat hopes left.…
