Hey #wrestlesky and #prowrestling folks, I'm working on a research project about the overlaps between religion and pro wrestling. One of the chapters is on gimmicks and I'm trying to get a list of as many "religion" wrestling gimmicks as possible. Who should be on the list?

A Duke win and a Dabo loss at the same time is a beautiful thing.

Tip from my partner who is executive director of one of the biggest food pantries in our state: Donating food is great, especially if you have extra or clean out your kitchen. But money goes further. They can buy food cheaper than you can so they can stretch your money to feed more people.

Oh, so when Zohran Mamdani calls his father's cousin his "aunt," it's fine with you people, but when *I* call Knuckles the Echidna my "biological son" and post Sora-generated videos of me giving birth to him, it's somehow "disgusting"

He was a university professor that when asked about his research always had a catchy title for his new book project. Every few semesters the title would change based on his latest creative insight. Yet, if pressed, it became clear he had yet to write a single word of it.

The fan on whom the decades of WWE propaganda worked as designed is easy to spot by lack of curiosity and immediate anger. Someone saying, "Mistico is wrestler of the year" does not spur them to think, "really? what should I see?" or anything of the sort. just immediate tantrum to defend Cody Rhodes

I’ve never understood why men in higher ed upper administration wear terrible suits instead of dressing like this. Like if I was an associate dean I’d be walking into the office like it was my draft day every day.

have banged on for years that the idea of lapsed or unreached viewer coming around, due to whatever deal they do that is SUPER GAME CHANGING, is fantasy. WWE is a known product. there are a couple million US people with any interest in watching regularly and they do with small ups and downs.

WWE is to professional wrestling as white Protestant Christianity is to religion.

This is what everyone said about Vince McMahon before he was forced out of WWE. And then the company proved to be better off and more profitable without him.

theres a paradox created by an era of source criticism that always already sorts every message by the partisan or political identify of its and the flattening of sources such that messages on a blog, a newspaper, Reddit, 4chan, or Twitter are essentially symmetrical
