How Wrestling Explains the World
Society & Culture
The Wrestling Estate‘s David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's Nick Bond are here bi-weekly to provide a pleasantly in-depth discussion on a specific subject wrestling explains in ways you may not have realized.
This week, we're looking at the MCU film Black Panther. The boys start off with a focus on the history of positive representation for black performers in professional wrestling history, the parallels between NXT and Wakanda as well as the role both played in the development of, respectively, the New Day and T'Challa. On the back half of the episode, they break down T'Challa's battles for the throne against M'Baku and Killmonger, what makes the latter such a great heel and what wrestling can learn from the success of Black Panther from a business and cultural perspective.
If you liked our theme song, "Dog of War" by the Hell Yeah Babies, you should buy their album All The Things You Believe on Bandcamp.
