HuffPost Live: Wrestling Is Real (Read: Me, on Video!)



At 5 PM Eastern today, I appeared on HuffPost Live, hosted by Mike Sacks, to discuss whether wrestling was real or not. I was joined by MMA writer Ben Fowlkes, fellow wrestling fan DeAno Jackson, and Curtis Hughes. Yes, THAT Curtis Hughes, better known as "Mr. Hughes." It's 25+ minutes of discussion of the old debate as to why people watch a "fake" sport. I argue that it's not fake because it evokes such a genuine reaction from its fans, and that it's also not a sport either. Catch the replay and watch me engage in discussion on camera, and hopefully you won't turn to stone looking at my ugly mug.

The roundtable was inspired by my article at Every Day Should Be Saturday last week.
