  • WWE: Wrestling, Wellness & Entertainment – an Analysis of Work and Health in Professional Wrestling
    WWE: Wrestling, Wellness & Entertainment – An Analysis of Work and Health in Professional Wrestling By Joseph Fargiorgio A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Sociology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Joseph Fargiorgio, 2014 ABSTRACT WWE: WRESTLING, WELLNESS & ENTERTAINMENT – AN ANALYSIS OF WORK AND HEALTH IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING Joseph Fargiorgio Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Professor Vivian Shalla Within the past fifteen years, a significant number of professional wrestlers have died before age 45, with the most publicized case being the Chris Benoit double murder suicide of 2007. A significant lack of academic research has been conducted on the nature of work in professional wrestling and on the impact of such work on the physical and mental health of wrestlers. Interviews with 10 currently active professional wrestlers were conducted between November 2012 and February 2013 to learn about work in wrestling, specifically how they view their own work in regard to their overall health and lifestyle. Using a standpoint perspective, this study explores the working life and health of professional wrestlers in the Untied States through the experiences of professional wrestlers working in the industry. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis could not have been possible without the professional wrestlers who participated in this project. Thank you very much for your help, providing your insights, and sharing your world with me. Thank you to Dr. Vivian Shalla for advising me on this project. Thank you for your encouraging words, your advice, and your meticulous work editing the various drafts of this thesis. Your kindness and dedication to your students does not go unnoticed.

  • Claims Department Randy Savage
    Claims Department Randy Savage Image courtesy Cedric Bacon - http://batced.deviantart.com/ Macho Man Randy Savage. The name rings 1980s, doesn’t it? Macho was at it’s peak in the 1970s, the song Macho Man was a hit in 1978. The persona of Macho Man Randy Savage was as flamboyant as the song, with pastel purple tights, sequined robes and bedazzled sunglasses. When he spoke, his voice was gravely like a 99-year old smoker. HE was athletically build, though he bulked up towards the end of his career, Randy was lithe, some might even call him skinny, when he started, and by the end he was a behemoth. All the while, he was an athlete. He wasn’t the first flying heavyweight, that concept dated back to the 1950s, but he was one of the best, certainly for his era. When he was motivated, there was none better, but as time went by, he was less-and-less motivated. He had some classic matches: Lawler, Steamboat, Flair, Hogan, DDP and more. He was also a shockingly big figure with the world outside of wrestling. He was given the ball and while he never eclipsed Hogan, he was certainly a close second to him for much of his career as the biggest name in wrestling. Sadly, Randy Savage passed away after suffering a heart attack while driving in Florida. He made it to 58, an age much older than many of those who have already passed in his generation of wrestling superstar.He wasn’t too often on the list of those who ‘were next’, so it was a surprise.
