Wrestling with Representation Same Difference Podcast

Join us for a trip down memory lane in this week's episode as the hosts engage in light-hearted banter, reminiscing about childhood memories. Kory shares poignant reflections on the lack of representation for black people in Iowa's movie scene, contrasting the nuances between black and white cultures. Despite this, Kory finds solace and positive representation in the world of professional wrestling, particularly during weekend bonding sessions with his father.



Delving into the WWE universe, the hosts discuss the heartbreak of discovering the scripted nature of wrestling in their youth. They reminisce about their favorite wrestlers, the evolution of WWE, and the curious narratives that left them scratching their heads—like why Andre the Giant wasn't crowned world champion despite his undeniable strength.



Kory recounts his exhilarating experience witnessing a live wrestling match for the first time, while JD shares childhood tales of attempting wrestling moves with friends, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.



As the conversation deepens, the hosts explore the subtle yet significant themes of homophobia and racism embedded in wrestling and how they resonate with broader societal issues in sports and media. 



Tune in as we unravel the layers of representation, authenticity, and cultural commentary within the world of professional wrestling.
