I’ll never forget seeing WWF wrestling for the first time way back when I was in 4th grade. I was baffled by the spectacle of it. My dad quickly explained to me that it wasn’t wrestling, it was wraslin’. Nonetheless, as a 4th grader I didn’t care – those guys looked awesome.
Since then the WWF has changed a lot (including its name which is now WWE), but one thing remains the same – it’s still wraslin’. I’ve also changed a lot since then, yet I’m still baffled by the spectacle of it. It is a very strange (and often disturbing) melange of entertainment, violence, and sex.
With my photos from the event, I tried to cut through the big, brightly-lit and colored showmanship and get a gritty up-close perspective on the action.
