Sandman from ECW posted:I know we're having fun here, but personally I hate when people try to over intellectualize wrestling. It's greased up muscle people smashing into each other! It's fine to enjoy it for the dumb poo poo it is!! Deal with the fact you like dumb poo poo!!! nah! it's fun and joyful to do analysis on poo poo, no matter if that stuff is dumb and not trying to be much or if it's self-consciously aiming for something deep, art is art, performance is art, and there's stuff to say about all art. It's all worthy of bring looked at for all the same reasons as other art, itll have themes and ideas rven if it isn't trying to, it'll tell you about the culture it's made in, it's a good time! Besides, anyone I know who's done an essay about wrestling also hoots and hollers. They're not exclusive!

Analysis is a vital part of my hooting and hollering. Wrestling rules because there are so many layers and ways to enjoy it. Sometimes you want to see people get hit really hard. Sometimes you want whatever Swerve and Hangman has going on. Sometimes it's about the artform itself. It's fun! Joyful indeed.

That the NFL is honoring kayfabe now makes the TK angle way more fun and less worrisome for me. If whatever the Elite have planned retains a certain amount of goofy fun and doesn't lapse into HHH/Authority territory, I'll be happy. I will say that it's a bummer that literally any other sport on TV wrecks AEW's ratings, but I guess that's always been the case for wrestling.

Always liked Roland Barthes essay "The World of Wrestling" for my stuffy intellectual wrestling analysis https://www.sholetteseminars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/BarthesWrestling..pdf

I personally never need to read another article in either the "I, an outsider, went to an indie show and it was INSANE" or the "in which I apply theoretical philosophy to simulated grappling entertainment" genre but am glad it inspires it nothing could be more  than when I was trying to listen to the podcast Knowledge Fight and the slightly less annoying host eulogized the Fiend in the most  way I've heard someone talk about wrestling

My brain never turns off in general so I can't help being analytical about everything but with wrestling the stupid fun poo poo isn't something to criticize or analyze. It's just stupid fun poo poo and it rules Sometimes I don't like some things but that's OK because I get past it quickly because I can tell the analytical part of my brain that "hey it's just wrestling get over it"

They should replace TK with Stokely wearing a wig and sunglasses pretending to be him.

Since TK has died Stokely will buy the trademark like he did for Chuck Taylor.

Tony Khan is being interviewed on NFL Network right now and said he feels both lucky to be alive and lucky that the Jaguars landed Brian Thomas Jr.
