Blood and Circus: A Retrospective of my Time in Wrestling Fandom. Part 1: In the Beginning
“Would you like to watch
WrestleMania?”
My cousin Kerry was about seven
years old, I was just over ten. We were
at her house, and the charm of playing with her tiny turtle and fish had worn
off. The question left me wondering; I
knew vaguely what pro wrestling was, having seen well-oiled men yelling from
the screen during the business’ boom period during my childhood, but I never
sat down to watch it myself.
Kerry had been a fan for much
longer. “Why don’t we watch WrestleMania
6?” That sounded fine. She turned the TV on and The Ultimate Warrior
was ranting about the skies and the heavens, and suddenly I was hooked.
