Folge 10: Das Bermuda-Dreieck des Frauenwrestlings

from schneeweiss & rosenrot · host Cora und Shake

Am 23. Juli 1984 treffen im “Brawl To End It All” drei Frauen aufeinander, die Wrestling-Geschichte schreiben. MTV überträgt an diesem Abend das erste Mal eine Wrestling-Veranstaltung live und sprengt damit seine bis dahin gezählten Sendequoten. Durch die Lautsprecher des Madison Square Gardens dröhnt Cyndi Laupers “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. Wendi Richter, selbstbetitelt “150 pounds of steel and sex appeal” tritt in den Ring und steht der 61-jährigen Wrestlinglegende The Fabulous Moolah gegenüber. Dass Richter Moolah besiegt und damit deren 28-jährigen Championship-Titel bricht, ist beinahe nebensächlich. Viel aufsehenerregender ist, dass keine andere als Cyndi Lauper bei der ganzen Show als Managerin von Wendi Richter mitmischt und dem Wrestling der 80er im Zuge der “Rock’N’Wrestling Connection” den bunten Anstrich verleiht, den es den Rest dieses Jahrzehnts behalten wird. Dass hinter der Glitzerfassade des World Wrestling Entertainment vieles doch nicht so bunt war, muss Wendi Richter ein Jahr später im “Original Screwjob” bitter feststellen. Ein Blick in eine Welt, die geprägt ist von Widersprüchen und Intrigen, in der Drama Money ist und die Wirklichkeit nur relativ.

Machshavah Lab Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. My goal as a Torah educator is not merely to teach my students my OWN hashkafah. Rather, my goal is to equip them with the foundations, the methodological training, and the tools which will enable them to arrive at their OWN understanding of Judaism and cultivate their OWN relationship with Hashem and His Torah. This podcast is devoted to the shiurim I give which are geared specifically towards that end. As such, the range of topics covered here will be diverse. There will be shiurim on Jewish philosophy, Chumash methodology, aggadic midrashim, maybe even some non-Jewish philosophy as well. Merriam-Webster defines "laboratory" as a place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. I call this podcast "Machshavah Lab" because this is where we will conduct Torah "experiments" by exploring questions, texts, and ideas in an effort to develop our machshavah in a "hands on," exploratory, firsthand manner. The Tefilah Podcast Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the hub for all of my shiurim (classes) on Tefilah (Prayer) and related topics, such as Tehilim (Psalms) and Berachos (Blessings)! The shiurim I upload here are given in a variety of formats with different lengths and intended for different audiences. The common theme which unites all of these shiurim is our focus on strengthening our relationship with Hashem through Avodah she'ba'Lev (Service of the Heart).
