Smacking down the myth about local professional wrestling industry — Maszlee Malik

“Not enough controversy heh?”Those were amongst the remarks I read on the comments section in most of the news portal reporting my speech in the parliament to the minister of Communication and Multimedia, Tan Sri Annuar Musa suggesting RTM to air Malaysian own professional wrestling matches series on October 11, 2021.The reality is, majority of Malaysians, even professional wrestling fans in this country, are still unaware that our country have our own pro wrestling heroes of its own.

Despite being Sports Entertainment, pro wrestlers deserve the respect for mixing strength, endurance, athleticism, together with showmanship, confidence and charisma. Which other sports combine all of these aspects? Fast forward to 2020, the nation was shaken when Nor “Phoenix” Diana, a student of Ayez since 2016, made headlines when she was the honorary nominee in the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 list for the Sports and Entertainment category. She is known worldwide as an inspiring women empowerment figure, for breaking boundaries and not sticking to the norm. Even many WWE wrestlers know her, or at least have heard about her.

“But it is ‘fake’ sports! Why should we support professional wrestling, when there are other sports out there that requires attention too!” – this is one of the biggest cries Malaysians would utter every time a government official tries to highlight Professional Wrestling.
