WRASSLIN'

"Boredom; the desire for desires." Leo Tolstoy

aloha2u today,
a few words on wrasslin',
NOT wrestling like in the Olympics
but wrasslin' which traces its origins
to the carny and sideshows...

1.i usedta watch it with my Dad in the 1950s NYC
when it was a regional gig run by Vince McMahon Sr.
2.yes i am well aware that it is as tightly scripted
as any other "reality show"
3.yes i am also aware of its homoerotic overtones too.
but aside from all that i enjoy the mob appeal and manipulation
as characters are switched from hero to heel and back again.

see HULK HOGAN, MICKIE JAMES (female)
thru 2 diff companies,TARA (female)
"the Icon STING"
thru 3 diff wrasslin organizations,
MR.ANDERSON,KURT ANGLE
again 2 diff companies.etc etc
the merchandising, the ersatz enthusiasms,
the outsized personas, the glitter, the glamour,
the sex and violence amongst these stuntmen
and wimmin in spandex,fishnets and peroxide.
the raucous paying crowd are willing dupes
to their own flagrant manipulations.
as a student of the Human Psyche with a
useless degree in same i find this entire process
FASCINATING
(like ST's Vulcan Science Officer Mr.Spock).

this old Google sloooow hiccupy interface is killing me
so let me leave you with these words of wisdom;
