    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).

  • Student Handbook Welcome to Double Dose Muay Thai! Double Dose Muay Thai Is One of the Most Elite Martial Arts Academies in the Country
    . Welcome to Student Handbook Welcome to Double Dose Muay Thai! Double Dose Muay Thai is one of the most elite martial arts academies in the country. It was founded in 1990 and over the past 25+ years we have grown into one of the largest most respected Muay Thai Kickboxing academies in the country. We have now expanded even further and have an Affiliate Gym in Gold Coast, Australia. We have trained dozens of champions in the ring and 1,000’s of champions in life. Our Story… It all started in 1972 when our founder Bryan Dobler met Thai Boxing instructor Chai Sirisute. At just 6 years old he began his journey in the art of Muay Thai. In his early 20’s he was introduced to Muay Thai Instructor Kru Rex and began training for competition. Under Kru Rex’s guidance he won a Professional Muay Thai Championship. At age 40 he had his last fight in the prestigious King’s Cup in Thailand bringing home a Bronze Medal for Team USA. He has since had several fighters compete in Thailand and all brought home Medals. During his fighting career he became known as “Double Dose” because of his 100% commitment coupled with 100% Passion for Muay Thai. That is where our gym name comes from…Double Dose Muay Thai! Let’s Get Started! We know that since you are here, you have made the decision to change your life in a powerful positive way. We’d like to congratulate you on taking that first step towards your new compelling future.

  • Wrestlin' with Racism Cryme Tyme Hits Prime Time
    Wrestlin' With Racism Cryme Tyme Hits Prime Time Written by Min. Paul Scott ID3014 Sunday, 17 September 2006 05:09 - Wrestlin'' With Racism: Cryme Tyme Hits Prime Time by Min. Paul Scott The crowd of 20,000 rose to their feet as 6 foot 5, 400 pound, Mandingo "Tha Masked Minstrel" Jones headed for the ring decked out in a bright red tuxedo and fur coat and carrying a big bucket of fried chicken. The announcer, obviously upset over his being 20 minutes late, spits watermelon seeds at him as he strolls to the ring with his main "Ho" Jazzybelle on his arm. After pickpocketing the wallets from the people on the front row he tap dances into the ring, only to slip on a chicken wing and get pinned 30 seconds later by 120 pound Bobby Taylor as the crowd erupts in laughter.... Wrestling is racist! What a news flash, right? Anyone even vaguely familiar with America's favorite guilty pleasure would be hard pressed to argue with the fact that the image of black professional wrestlers has left much to be desired. All of the negative stereotypes that have historically plagued Black folks have always found a comfortable home in the middle of the squared circle. Somehow, the predominately good ole boy audience always got a hoot of 450 pound Black men being reduced to bumblin'', bug eyed buffoons every week. I remember as a child staying up way past midnight to watch wrestlers with names like "Pork Chop" Cash constantly get their behinds kicked by the golden boys like Nature Boy Ric Flair.

  • Yoga Communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand Examining Spirituality, Secularism, and Consumerism in the Wellington Yoga Industry
    Master’s Thesis: Yoga Communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand Examining Spirituality, Secularism, and Consumerism in the Wellington Yoga Industry By Ali Hale Tilley A thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2017 Author Ali Hale Tilley Director of Sadhana Yoga Ltd. New Zealand Yoga Centre, 20 Stewart Street, Marton, 4710. Email: [email protected] www.sadhanayoganz.com ii Abstract This ethnographic study looks at the Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) yoga industry, examining the ways that spirituality, secularism, and consumerism influence modern yoga practices. This study argues that people in New Zealand choose yoga practices for different ethical, physical, and social reasons, reflecting their diverse sociocultural values. More specifically, data gathered during fieldwork shows that the Wellington yoga industry contains at least three community subcultures, which I refer to as: 1) moral communities, 2) corporate communities, and 3) brand communities. This means that at the level of local culture, the NZ yoga industry represents a wide range of yoga practices, which in turn reflect the diverse needs, consumer expectations, and imagined ideals of resident populations. Interdisciplinary literature from Religious Studies, Sociology, and Consumer Marketing Research help analyze the complex connections between spirituality as a set of embodied practices, secularisation of yoga as a reflection of corporate culture, and consumerism as a set of desired customer experiences. Yoga in NZ is currently under-researched, making this study a starting point for further inquiry. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express deep gratitude to Dr Rick Weiss, my supervisor, whose guidance and support helped shape this study.
