How Wrestling Explains the World
Society & Culture
The Wrestling Estate's David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's 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. This week, along with "The Whole Afinshou" Daron Jackson, Dave and Nick explain the impact of The New Day in the 20th entry of their ever-expanding wrestling compendium of things that explain wrestling.
For today's Part 1, they'll start by taking a very unfortunate historical survey of the WWF/E's treatment of African American wrestlers, looking at New Day's place in the evolution of representation in the wrestling industry, why the Unicorn shirt was so popular and what their respective legacies will be in and out of the ring.
For Part 2 -- which'll comes out tomorrow -- we will joined once again by Daron to break down must-watch matches from the New Day's respective early singles careers, along with their best collective work IN THIS RING AND ON THAT MIC against the Usos (and children).
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

PRODUCER'S NOTE: Dave got knocked offline for 20 minutes or so during the recording, so that's why you won't hear anything from him for the middle third of the podcast while Daron and I talk about unicorns. Everything was returned back to normal, however, so he does finish the pod with us and will be in all of Part 2.
