A zine is most commonly
a small circulation publication of
original or appropriated texts and images.
More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest.
Feel free to check out my pocast with my friend Brayton. He lives in Illinois, USA, I live in the Czech Republic. We have created the world's only trans-continental wrestling podcast.
The argument that
"wrestling isn't real"
is so obtuse, so dull to the point at hand, so willfully ignorant of the concept of reality.
What's so real about any game?
What is real in any way about putting men in bizarre clothes, giving them an oblong ball, and asking them to run it across a line for 60 minutes?
Worse yet, what's real about paying them millions of dollars to do it?
I have been posting on this blog for three god damn years.
Despite writing countless 500-1000 word essays on my love of pro wrestling and WWE, this is my most popular contribution to the Internet Wrestling Community.
You’re welcome.
Really, though… thanks for reading, y’all.

“Now guys, I’m shooting here. We came out here tonight out of respect. Guys, it was an honor.”
WWF Raw is War, 10.18.1999. Following the conclusion of the best of 5 Terri Invitational Tournament at No Mercy 1999.
My literal reaction was, “I want video of this that repeats forever… .. I guess otherwise known as a gif!!…”

WWF Raw is War,
October 4th, 1999
There’s something about watching then reigning champion Triple H slipping backstage during an “intense walk” segment that makes you think, “I must share this with as much of the internet as I can, in gif form.”
I lovingly call this the “Trip Slip Gif”

Fans of The Rock Chanting for The Rock
(the gif would have been too big for tumblr, but they did this for about 7 or 8 seconds… mostly, the guy on the right is a hero)
No one else seemed particularly interested in gif-ing Del Rio amazingly corpsing, so I went ahead and did it.
