Professional Wrestling Event Security & Their Responsibilities

By Rob Sutter


I cannot imagine just how difficult it must be for event security when it comes to working wrestling shows. I am a fan of this spectacle, too, and I can see just how unruly certain fans can become. They will sometimes let their emotions spiral out of control so much that they will actually start to disrupt the show, which can impede the enjoyment of fans who simply want to watch and cheer. When it comes to security, more attention should be given to the work done.

You can rest assured that I have seen a number of wild cases unfold as a fan. To give you a general idea, I've seen a number of fans come over the rail where guards are positioned in order to get into the ring, ultimately disrupting the flow of the match. While some cases may not be filmed directly, you may get an idea that this is happening when you notice the camera cutting around at weird points. It's tough to describe but you can notice it once you start to see the event unfold.

One has to wonder why these individuals take it upon themselves to cause trouble when they normally get caught seconds later anyway. Maybe it's a case of them actually despising an opponent in the ring and feeling as if it's their right to get involved in the show. Perhaps they simply want to get on television and jumping the rail is the best way to go about it. It's tough to pinpoint what the purpose being this kind of action is, since everyone is going to be different.

Regardless of what the case may be, it is clear that event security is on hand to take care of these particular matters. Companies like The Protective Group have been trained to work in a variety of ways, whether you're talking about art trades, charity events, or wrestling shows as is the case here. Not only do they uphold a sense of professionalism but they are physically able when it comes to any circumstance. Keep in mind that they are hired to keep disturbances to a minimum.

It's clear that wrestling shows are going to be some of the most enjoyable anyone can go to but freedom of fans only goes to a certain point. Keep in mind that some actions are simply inexcusable, jumping the rail being just one example. There are other instances of behavior gone too far, which means that there has to be groups employed in order to take care of the matter. When it comes to keeping order, there are very few groups able to do this better than event security.
