  • Red Smith Wrote That Baseball Was a Dull Game Only to Dull Minds. in His
    Published November 3, 2007 at http://muchnick.net/HitmanReview.pdf Review of Bret Hart’s Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling By Irvin Muchnick Red Smith wrote that baseball was a dull game only to dull minds. In his sprawling autobiography, Bret Hart sets out to prove that the genre “pro wrestling literature” is oxymoronic only to oxymorons. And Hart succeeds. Despite its intimidating length, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (a runaway bestseller in Canada, not yet available in the U.S.) has a surprisingly high muscle-to-fat ratio. With the superb Have a Nice Day! , published in 1999, Mick Foley pioneered the picaresque wrestler’s memoir. But Hart, who doesn’t do goofy, is hunting bigger game. Inevitably, one turns to earthy details of mundane score-settling – both conscious and unconscious, both within the peculiar industry that defined him and within the even more peculiar Calgary-based clan that, for a certain population of fans, helped define the industry. Before getting to all that, though, it’s important to remark upon the sheer beauty of the prose in Hitman ’s best parts. Like his favorite writer, Mark Helprin, Hart occupies the border between phantasmagoria and realism. My favorite passages cover his foreign travels, during which he either reflects on the social conditions he observes there (Manila) or delights in lush landscape (Capetown). Domestically, you can all but smell the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies; faithful depictions of hardscrabble life on the tundra, inside and outside the ring, make for something close to the Great Western Canadian Novel.

  • The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, Or Laying the Smackdown on Homer
    Oral Tradition, 29/1 (201X): 127-148 The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, or Laying the Smackdown on Homer William Duffy Since its development in the first half of the twentieth century, Milman Parry and Albert Lord’s theory of “composition in performance” has been central to the study of oral poetry (J. M. Foley 1998:ix-x). This theory and others based on it have been used in the analysis of poetic traditions like those of the West African griots, the Viking skalds, and, most famously, the ancient Greek epics.1 However, scholars have rarely applied Parry-Lord theory to material other than oral poetry, with the notable exceptions of musical forms like jazz, African drumming, and freestyle rap.2 Parry and Lord themselves, on the other hand, referred to the works they catalogued as performances, making it possible to use their ideas beyond poetry and music. The usefulness of Parry-Lord theory in studies of different poetic traditions tempted me to view other genres of performance from this perspective. In this paper I offer up one such genre for analysis —professional wrestling—and show that interpreting the tropes of wrestling through the lens of composition in performance provides information that, in return, can help with analysis of materials more commonly addressed by this theory. Before beginning this effort, it will be useful to identify the qualities that a work must possess to be considered a “composition in performance,” in order to see if professional wrestling qualifies. The first, and probably most important and straightforward, criterion is that, as Lord (1960:13) says, “the moment of composition is the performance.” This disqualifies art forms like theater and ballet, works typically planned in advance and containing words and/or actions that must be performed at precise times and following a precise order.

  • Mick Foley: Pro Wrestling and the Contradictions of a Contemporary American Hero
    Mick Foley: Pro Wrestling and the Contradictions of a Contemporary American Hero When professional wrestler Mick Foley won the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE, formerly WWF) World Heavyweight Title on Monday Night RAW at the end of 1998, he became a heroic character in the realm of pro wrestling, then at its height of popularity on cable television. Many considered Foley an unusual hero. His character blended masculine heroic qualities of tenacity, endurance, and hard work with characteristics not usually seen in the American hero: a need for communal acceptance, a desire for intellectual growth, and an unattractive aesthetic, with Foley’s missing teeth, severed ear, unkempt hair, pear-shaped figure, and lack of the muscular definition usually expected in the wrestling hero. Mick Foley is a paradox, as his character both embraces and defies elements of the traditional masculine hero. This redefinition of the heroic figure in wrestling, according to Dalbir Singh Sehmby (2000: 202), stems from wrestling’s complex relationship among fans, promoters, the media, and Foley himself. Sammond (2005: 133-134) writes that “whether professional wrestling is progressive, transgressive, or regressive (or all these at different moments) depends on how it serves the social goals of its producers, performers, audiences, and its critics.” Because of wrestling’s participatory nature, allowing fans to directly influence the product, wrestling heroes may perhaps be more indicative of the paradoxes in defining masculinity and American heroism than the heroes created through many other media products. The construction of Foley as hero reveals America’s changing and conflicting values regarding its traditions and its definition of masculinity.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Terry Funk More than Just Hardcore by Terry Funk Wrestling / Terry Funk. Meet the prime minister of hardcore wrestling. Known as "The Hardcore Icon" and "The Funker", Terrence Funk (born June 30, 1944) is a semi-/maybe retired American Professional Wrestler who is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion , a pioneer of the hardcore style in North America, and one of the ECW Originals. He also has made appearances in Japan with AJPW and (around 2011) NJPW and Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), as well as in Puerto Rico with the World Wrestling Council (WWC), the WWWF/WWF/WWE and WCW (both during the later NWA/WCW days and near the end of WCW's run), as well as MLW, SMW, Ring of Honor, TNA, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerilla and MANY others. He's known as a member of the Funk Wrestling Family, which includes his late father Dory Funk Sr. (May 4, 1919 – June 3, 1973) and his older brother Dory Funk Jr. (born 1941). (As a bonus, Terry and Dory Jr. are the only brothers to date to ever hold the NWA World Heavyweight title.) In addition, there is his acting resume, starting with Paradise Alley in 1978. He may not look like much, but he's taken bumps men a third his age would not consider, let alone attempt. While not quite the living embodiment of hardcore (that would be Abdullah the Butcher), he ranks pretty close; the Funkasaurus is a walking museum, proselytizing the heritage of the sport as it originated in mid-20th century fairs.

One of the cornerstones of wrestling's meteoric rise in the late 90’s, Mick Foley earned the nickname ‘The Hardcore Legend’ for his ability to absorb seemingly inhuman punishment in some of the most dramatic matches in sports-entertainment history. Already a respected veteran for his 11 physically punishing years wrestling under the name Cactus Jack, Foley’s career soared to new heights as ‘Mankind’, a character Foley claimed was inspired by a combination of reading ‘Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein’ and listening to the music of Tori Amos. As Cactus Jack, Foley won the 1995 ‘King of the Deathmatch’ tournament in Yokohama, Japan, and continued wrestling, despite the amputation of his right ear, in a match against Vader in Munich, Germany in 1994. As Mankind, Foley was a 3-time wrestling Champion, but is best known for his epic and brutal battle with The Undertaker in 1998’s ‘Hell in a Cell’ match, during which he was knocked unconscious after falls both off of and through the 16 foot Cell structure.
