All Wrestling All the time

Between The FITE app and the varying streaming services it's possible to have all wrestling all the time. Wrestling isn't just for Saturday morning, it's big business.....merch etc etc etc. It's still very simple vaudvillian (perhaps even moliere influenced) drama that appeals to all ages of arrested development.

I've always been a Richard Rodriguez mark. His EL Rey network is one of the few cable channels i would actually watch. I've been bingeing on "Lucha Underground" streaming on Netflix.  Like all his productions, he combines lessons in latino culture with extreme violence. On Lucha , women are equal and can wrestle the men (and kick ass doing it).  Little people execute high flying head scissors. Oily bohunks who failed the WWE drug test can earn their daily bread. Evidently, stuff like this has gone on for years south of the border. Yet another reason not to build a wall.
