Book Synopsis Wrestling and Hypermasculinity by : Patrice A. Oppliger
Download or read book Wrestling and Hypermasculinity written by Patrice A. Oppliger and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional wrestling revels in its exaggeration of masculinity. This hyper-masculinity is evident in the physical appearance of wrestlers, the sexuality-charged and violent moves used in and out of the ring, the role assigned to women and the extensive use of weapons such as chains, barbed wire and steel folding chairs. This study explores the link between watching televised wrestling matches and increases in verbal aggression, rebellion and propensity toward violence and retaliation. Wrestling is placed within the larger context of popular culture and other hyper-masculine entertainment. The book begins with a brief history of professional wrestling, a summary of the criticisms of the sport, and a discussion of the author's research methods. One chapter discusses how gender socialization plays a part in the effects of wrestling on its viewers, arguing that wrestling goes beyond the image of physically violent acts to models of interpersonal behavior. The expansion of wrestling into storylines outside the ring includes problem situations involving class, race, homophobia and nationality, to which violence is often presented as a solution. The book concludes with an investigation of the attractiveness of wrestling and its ability to lure fans back year after year.

Download or read book Wrestling with the Devil written by Lex Luger and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether he was making a dramatic entrance from a helicopter, defeating champ Hulk Hogan, or sculpting a near-perfect physique, Lex Luger was on top of his game. Yet backstage, he was wrestling with addictions to sex, drugs, and alcohol-- things he clung to even when his mistress died suddenly of a drug overdose and Lex went to jail. There, Lex faced the truth: he was losing the fight for his life. And still awaiting him was his most brutal opponent yet, when the wrestling champ found himself helplessly paralyzed from the neck down. Luger reveals his struggle with personal demons, and how, through unexpected faith, grace, and redemption, he overcame all odds to fight the only battle that really matters.

Download or read book Wrestling Babylon written by Irv Muchnick and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irvin Muchnick ' a widely published writer and nephew of the late, legendary St. Louis wrestling promoter Sam Muchnick ' has produced a book unlike any other on the astonishing growth of professional wrestling and its profound impact on mainstream sports and society. In Wrestling Babylon, he traces the demise of wrestling's old Mafia-like territories and the rise of a national marketing base thanks to cable television, deregulation and a culture-wide nervous breakdown. Naturally, the figure of WWE's Vince McMahon lurks throughout, but equally evident is the public's late-empire lust for bread, circuses, and blood. As this book demonstrates, the more cartoonishly unreal wrestling got, the more chillingly real it became. What truly distinguishes Wrestling Babylon, however, is Muchnick's ability to show how professional wrestling has become the ur-carnival for a culture that feeds on escapist displays of humiliation, revenge, fantasy characters, and sex. His People magazine article on Hulk Hogan blew the lid off the drug abuse of the sport's signature superstar. His award-winning Penthouse profile of the ill-starred Von Erich clan was the first to connect the dots between wrestling, televangelism, and MTV-style production values. His never-before-published investigation of the death of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's girlfriend suggests the cover-up of a murder. The book's appendix ' a comprehensive listing of the dozens of wrestlers who died prematurely over the last generation, with little or no attention ' is both a valuable resource for wrestling historians and a shocking document of the ruthless way sports entertainment eats its own.

Book excerpt: The millions of fans who watch World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) programs each year are well aware of their role in building the narrative of the sport. #WWE: Professional Wrestling in the Digital Age explores the intersections between media, technology, and fandom in WWE's contemporary programming and business practices. In the Reality Era of WWE (2011 to the present), wrestling narratives have increasingly drawn on real-life personalities and events that stretch beyond the story-world created and maintained by WWE. At the same time, the internet and fandom have a greater influence on the company than ever before. By examining various sites of struggle and negotiation between WWE executives and in-ring performers, between the product and its fans, and between the company and the rest of the wrestling industry, the contributors to this volume highlight the role of various media platforms in shaping and disseminating WWE narratives. Treating the company and its product not merely as sports entertainment, but also as a brand, an employer, a company, a content producer, and an object of fandom, #WWE conceptualizes the evolution of professional wrestling's most successful company in the digital era.

Download or read book No Holds Barred written by Tom Trepiak and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A childhood growing up in Newport, Kentucky, also known as "Sin City USA" , taught Frank Cheek that the first punch is the winning punch most of the time. He spent half his time with the "good" kids who played sports and half his time with the "so-called hoods" who were always in the middle of trouble. His dad loved work and discipline and his mom loved sports. He found himself at the crossroads after graduating from high school. He knew the only future in Newport for him would center around trouble and violence. So he joined the Marine Corps. Sports, hard work, humor, and occasionally throwing the first punch got him through the Corps. It wasn't until the Lord got a hold of him that Frank could let go of the need to throw the first punch. But he held onto sports, hard work and humor to forge a coaching career at the high school and college level that has placed him in five Halls of Fame. His long career at Humboldt State included 22 years coaching wrestling and 25 years coaching softball. Fifteen of his teams finished in the nation's Top 10. His path from a "so-called hood" to a multiple national champion is a story of how a life dedicated to Jesus is a life of redemption, grace, humility and victory.
