Welcome to TurnbuckleZine.

Feel free to check out the tabs above for info about me, my more in depth thoughts and opinions that I have written on this site, and my tribute to two of my favorite professional wrestling icons

FYI

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.

The Intercontinental Podcast

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.

The Intercontinental Podcast Episode 25: Be a Man

This week, TIC welcomes long time friend Jim Hanke. We spend a bit of time talking about the WWF/WWE experience from the late 80s. We do spend a bit of time talking about last week’s Raw, but mostly focus on Jim’s experience growing up in a wrestling household and a time he met a WWF Superstar in all his glory.

You can listen or download the track through the soundcloud player above.  ENJOY
