It is the WHY, especially for people who are not interested in pro wrestling as a topic in particular, etc. I don't think we are at a place, especially within this class, where we have to defend the study, but we always have to be prepared in academia for the so what. For "pro wrestling is theater," what would you consider the "so what?" the creater cultural implications of proving that to be the case.Sam Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233749268141980625noreply@blogger.com
