Went to see wrestling again, for research.
Joe Hendry was my favorite part—so over the top, so unserious.
But meme wrestlers like Hendry stray from what makes pro wrestling great: kayfabe.
In its nuance lies its magic.
"I believe" was the mantra of the night: "I believe in Joe Hendry" or "I believe in the House of Glory."
Belief is at the center of wrestling.
This woman screamed at the referee,
"Just check the slow-motion replay—
It was a three-count!"
Is she in on the joke, or is she for real?
I believe!
LET'S GO GRINGO LOCO!
