Wrestling in the Age of Disenchantment (Content Minded Ep.84).

On this special episode of Content Minded on the heels of the untimely passing of icon and legend Hulk Hogan, I discuss Hulkamania, various themes, storylines and the greater cultural and political context of professional wrestling as a whole. I break down some famed papers on wrestling by Chris Hedges and Paul Cantor, what I call the disappearance of the Heel, kayfabe and postmodernism, the changing face of wrestling from a cult of the hero to the modern subject, and if pro wrestling has a future. the full podcast is 4 hours, first half free and the rest on Patreon and Substack for only $5 a month!
