Wrestling as We Liked It: The WAWLI Papers

In America there are serious professional sports (baseball, football, basketball, golf, etc.) and there are "trash" sports (roller derby, tractor pulls, etc.) But for the last century or more, the ultimate kingof the trash sports has been professional wrestling. With its scripted morality plays, its faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys), it has played out one of the longest soap operas in history to its marks (true believing fans), as well as millions of others. This type of "sport" is not particularly interested in its own history, but devoted hobbyist J. Michael Kenyon has spent untold amounts of time and effort ferreting that history out. And the WAWLI papers are the result of that work. This irregularly issued newsletter specializes in the grapplers of yesteryear, and Kenyon regularly transcribes newspaper and magazine accounts of the great matches and personalities of such luminaries as Strangler Lewis, Lou Thesz, Frank Gotch, and Stanislaus Zybisko, among others. For those who see today's lilly livered (but acrobatically talented) grapplers as pencil-necked geeks who wouldn't know what to do if they had to battle for more than three minutes, the WAWLI papers will hark back to a time when a cauliflower ear was a badge of distinction.
