How Wrestling Explains the World: Gilgamesh
With the Great YouTube Purge of 2014 making most of the work we do with Wrestlers of the Week somewhere between “impossible” and “totally and completely impossible”, we’ve decided to officially (quasi) retire the feature. In its place will be something we are calling Is Wrestling _____?, where we will attempt to make a connection between professional wrestling and something from the world outside of Kayfabe. We will try to post at least one thing per day, though we obviously can’t promise anything because we’re not so secretly the worst. And to start everything off, we’ll look at where it all — meaning, all of literature as we currently understand it — with the Epic of Gilgamesh.
#HeenanWeek: Difference of Opinion
It’s #HeenanWeek, a celebration of all things Fair to Flair (and any other member of the Family) and the 30th installment of our (patent-pending) Juice Make Sugar Wrestler of the Week series. As always, we finish everything off with a Difference of Opinion, where JMS HQ erupts in a Weasel-suit fueled civil war.
#HeenanWeek: Essential Viewing – Royal Rumble ’92
It’s #HeenanWeek, a celebration of all things Fair to Flair (and other members of the Family), the 30th installment of our (patent-pending) Juice Make Sugar Wrestler of the Week series. Today, we give you the story of one of the finer points of The Brain’s oeuvre with some Essential Viewing. Today, it’s his call of the 1992 Royal Rumble match.
