  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

  • Is Chikara Dead?
    chikaralives.wordpress.com Is Chikara Dead? And If So Who Killed It? 1 chikaralives.wordpress.com Author’s note: this document is heavily, heavily indebted to the work of numerous Chikara fans across the web who are trying to piece together the truth about the company’s fate. Robert Newsom of the Atomic Elbow and Mandible Claw’s Danielle Matheson were the ones who first brought the conspiracy into the light in their Crazypants Chikara podcast. Since then the likes of Ole Wrestling, the Chikara Forum and the Chikara thread on the 420Chan wrestling forum have been invaluable sources of information. I am not trying to take the credit for all of the info you’ll find on the following pages. Rather I’m trying to compile all the facts and theories into one handy guide to make it as easy as possible for people to catch up on what’s going on and see what others are saying. I’d hazard a guess that at most 15% of this is my own thoughts and unearthed data so again: all credit and thanks goes to my fellow truth seekers. Please go to the links section at the end and check out their blogs, forums, podcasts etc. This guide is also a celebration of the incredibly, insanely detailed story Chikara’s currently telling. It’s truly a work of art, something that has never been seen before in the world of wrestling and will probably never be seen again. I encourage everyone to get involved in this unique game Quackenbush and co.

    If you smell what The Rock is cooking! 1999 . Well since Rock's baby left him... He found a new place to dwell... It's down at the end of Jabroni Drive at... Smackdown Hotellalalalalaaaa! . Stone Cold Steve Austin... The Rock knows how much you like to drink. So The Rock is offering you a couple of drinks tonight. The drinks are on The Great One. But here's a stipulation, Austin: The Rock says don't get drunk and pass out, or else you'll wake up with The Rock's fist in your mouth, and his foot up your ass! . Now, Bad Ass, you run your mouth about SummerSlam. Well, here's the situation. The Rock says this: if the Rock hits you, he'll kill you. If he misses, the wind behind the punch will give you pneumonia and you'll die anyway, so the choice is yours, jabroni! . So weather it's you Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho's Daddy, Chris Jericho's MaMa, Uncle Joe Jericho with the glass eye or maybe it's Grandpa Jimmy Jack Jericho! . Kane you think you impress the Rock when your music hits? All the lights go out.
