  • 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.

World premiere of my movie in the #1 film festival Hot Doc. Now I give my fans my movie on the download to see how I become a legend and the real Iron Sheik. “ (TORONTO, CANADA - April 14, 2014) Once the most outlandish of professional wrestlers, Khosrow Vaziri – a.k.a. The Iron Sheik - is now, at 72, the most outrageous personality on Twitter, a man who routinely shocks even Howard Stern. But the story behind the oversized personality is raw, touching, emotional and almost unbelievable. The Sheik is a labour of love by two Iranian-Canadian twins – Page and Jian Magen - who grew up idolizing him, and ended up pointing him towards redemption and a second chance at stardom. Featuring Dwayne Johnson, Mick Foley, Seth Green, Jim Ross and over 25 celebrities and entertainment superstars; The Sheik will make its World Premiere at Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto Canada on April 26th at 9pm.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

  • Legdropping the Iron Sheikh: an Autoethnographic Performance Selection from Burnt City: a Dystopian Bilingual One-Persian Show
    Legdropping the Iron Sheikh: An AutoEthnographic Performance Selection from Burnt City: A Dystopian Bilingual One-Persian Show Josh Hamzehee4 University of Northern Iowa [email protected] Legdropping the Iron Sheikh is an autoethnographic performance selection from is a ( شهر سوخته Burnt City: A Dystopian Bilingual One-Persian Show. Burnt City (or solo performance about United States-Iran relations. This performance uses poetry, humor, video, and the Farsi language to excavate how domestic abuse at home is congruous to violence inflicted by governments on citizens. In Legdropping the Iron Sheikh, the fifth scene from the production, Hamzehee juxtaposes parallels between his father’s U.S. arrival during the 1979 Iranian Revolution with the Iron Sheik’s 1980s’ battles with the All-American Hulk Hogan. This autoethnographic performance is backgrounded by an edited and x-ray’d video of the January 23, 1984 Madison Square Garden telecast of Hogan-Sheik’s WWF World Championship title match. This creative essay, script, and performance provides insight into this match as a critique of 1980’s U.S.-Iran relations, as well as Hamzehee’s relationship with his Persian father, arguing that the impacts of domestic abuse felt at home have parallels to those inflicted by homelands. A video of the performance is included as a hyperlink.

In Legdropping the Iron Sheikh, Khosrow Vaziri’s infamous 1980s professional wrestling character becomes an entry point for me to performatively interrogate how presentations of United States-Iran relations reflected and impacted my relationships with my Iranian-born father and the cultures I was born into.
