I was a guest on the Wrestling Podcast

TH and I talked about the Fair to Flair Quarterly’s next issue’s theme for an hour. Women’s wrestling is a thorny-as-all-get out topic, and it was nice to get a chance to set down in audio some of the problems I have with how women are presented in wrestling, and why it should be so much better. 

There were a few fun easter eggs at the end when we went off-topic, too. I mentioned that WWE got rid of animal mascots for a very good reason. Ten points to the lady who explains it. 

Also, TH and I have a very different stance on where the “kayfabe” line is. He seems to think it’s about even implying that wrestling is fake, and I think it’s where you simply come out and say it. And because I think that, I don’t think WCW ever once broke it. Never. Not even under Russo. Discuss.
