    The Sunday Read: ‘How Danhausen Became Professional Wrestling’s Strangest Star’

    The Sunday Read: ‘How Danhausen Became Professional Wrestling’s Strangest Star’

    Like a lot of people who get into professional wrestling, Donovan Danhausen had a vision of a different version of himself. Ten years ago, at age 21, he was living in Detroit, working as a nursing assistant at a hospital, watching a lot of “Adult Swim” and accumulating a collection of horror- and comedy-themed tattoos.

    At the suggestion of a friend, he took a 12-week training course at the House of Truth wrestling school in Center Line, Mich., and then entered the indie circuit as a hand: an unknown, unpaid wrestler who shows up at events and does what’s asked of him, typically setting up the ring or pretending to be a lawyer or another type of extra. When he ran out of momentum five years later, he developed the character of Danhausen. Originally supposed to be an evil demon, Danhausen found that the more elements of humor he incorporated into his performance, the more audiences responded.

    “I was just a bearded guy with the tattoos, trying to be a tough guy, and I’m not a tough guy naturally,” he said. “But I can be weird and charismatic, goofy. That’s easy. That’s also a role that most people don’t want to fill.”

    Over the next couple of years, the Danhausen gimmick became more funny than evil, eventually settling on the character he plays today — one that is bizarre even by the standards of 21st-century wrestling.

    China, Russia and the Risk of a New Cold War

    As Xi Jinping, China’s leader, meets with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in Moscow this week, Chinese officials have been presenting his trip as a mission of peace. But American and European officials are watching for something else altogether — whether Mr. Xi will add fuel to the full-scale war that Mr. Putin began more than a year ago.

    Edward Wong explains what Mr. Xi is really up to, and why it’s making people wonder whether a new Cold War is underway.

    Guest: Edward Wong, a diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times.

The FOX News of the Left …

Polished, artsy, and pretentious, expect pregnant pauses filled with original, eclectic music, and a reporter that tries to emulate Rod Sterling.

This is news with a pretty strong and unapologetic liberal bias. The content is facts, mixed with mostly one-sided opinions and emotional stories of victims. Effectively “FOX News” for the left.

A great example of selective/poor reporting is the report on the debt ceiling. They selectively picked the one year since the 1950s where the budget was balanced to make it look like the Republicans started the issue. They they also said Clinton balanced the budget, when it was actually cooperation between the Democratic president and a Republican house. Another error - forgetting the Korean and Vietnamese wars weren’t funded by war bonds. Learn the facts before reporting!

These people have lost touch that the purpose of the media is to REPORT the news, not to SWAY public opinion.
