This group was founded on the belief that professional wrestling’s resonance within global popular culture is the most prolific and socially relevant source for pop-cultural and societal connections to both the past and the present and defines the human conditions through its various expressions and subversions of non-normative processes with dialogues that range from commentaries on politics, to visual art, to human health and development. Every scholarly discipline has a space to discuss wrestling within this community. I hope as the founder to broaden those spaces into the most inclusive and intellectual they can possibly be. Anyone is free to join as long as they have a passion for their scholarship and embrace the notion that anyone can learn, anyone can teach, and anybody can redefine what it means to study professional wrestling.
