2 panel comic

Panel 1: [View of the upper torso of a naked man looking outraged] Man: You were faking it?!

Panel 2: [Naked man sits in bed, his arms crossed, a disgruntled look on his face as he looks at the person in bed with him. A woman with black hair, black winged eyeliner, black lipstick, and a black lacy bra sits in the bed and stares back at the naked man. The headboard behind the two resembles the ropes of a wrestling ring. On the wall above them hangs a WWW title belt with a WWW poster and an Austin 3:16 on either side of the belt.]

    Do people actually think there are people who think wrestling is real? (Besides kids)

    Whenever i hear someone say “you know wrestling is fake right?” I immediately think they are room temp iq.

      my little joke, but pro wrestling1 is musical theatre for people “too macho” to enjoy musical theater. everyone enjoys a good live show.

      also (and this is something we noticed working special ed) it has a remarkably warm and welcoming fanbase. especially to folk with disabilities. i can’t tell you how many students we had go through the special ed classrooms who found social homes there with wrestling. Like, there’s a law: I can’t tell you. but it was a lot. That one thing biases my attitudes positively toward the sport.

      1compared to… i don’t know the word for it. but differentiating between sport wrestling and entertainment wrestling (two terms i just pulled out my ass) might be a better way to think about it. like, go check out some luchador matches, they combine the two and it’s great to watch.

          I agree, but I have convinced some wrestling fans to go see a musical or two. They loved what I took them to but it’s a much harder sell for folk to go see drag unless they are already exposed to it (real drag, not whatever fox news thinks drag is).

      I like to think he’s just talking about her wrestling career and being in bed is a red herring. He’s just found out that pro wrestling is staged. The sex was genuine and great, though.

        i would like to pedant a little please. staged isn’t quite the right word. scripted is. they’re actually doing those stunts, live, in front of you at the shows. but like, they know who’s going to win beforehand. don’t bet on the opera races.
