Professional wrestling possesses a global appeal across national,
regional, racial, and gender boundaries. The essays collected in
this volume represent the most diverse array of topics and
contributors ever assembled for the academic study of pro
wrestling. Utilizing a wide variety of academic disciplines,
including communications, literary studies, history, kinesiology,
psychology the eighteen contributors deal with various issues of
national, regional, and gender identity in pro wrestling, from the
construction of a positive Iranian identity in the wake of the Iran
hostage crisis, to fan culture clashes between wrestling and MMA
fans, to Brazilian and French authorities' efforts to regulate the
sport at the turn of the twentieth century, among many others. This
volume is an important contribution to the growing body of academic
literature on professional wrestling, especially on the issues of
national, regional, racial, and gender identity.
