How Wrestling Explains the World
Society & Culture
The Wrestling Estate's David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's Nick Bond are here with their off-cycle supplement to the pleasantly in-depth discussion on what makes professional wrestling, well, professional wrestling (and, at least every other week) what that means for the world.
In honor of the newspeg provided by this weekend's Royal Rumble, the boys have made it the 19th entry into their ever-expanding wrestling compendium. For today's Part 1, they'll be taking a look at the Rumble's place in the evolution of the battle royal, what the WWF actually got right with the event and all of the things that have went wrong whenever variations have been tried elsewhere.
In Part 2, coming out tomorrow, they'll be breaking down must-watch matches from the PPV's storied history.
If you like the theme song, "Dog of War" by the Hell Yeah Babies, you should buy their album All The Things You Believe on Bandcamp
