Now switch "pro wrestling match" with Trump, and "commentators" with conservative pundits. See? That's how it works. #AEWDYNAMITE @thepwsa.bsky.social @fanstudies.bsky.social
CarrieLynn D. Reinhard, PhD@doctorcarrie.bsky.social · last yr.In any pro wrestling match will exist whiffs or botches that give you a reason to doubt what you saw, which could break kayfabe for you. It's the commentators' job to answer your question and explain what the intent of the action was. Then you have an explanation that stops your doubt.
Some thoughts thanks to @thepwsa.bsky.social #WrestlePosium: I think that may be part of the problem with this moment, that people love a chickenshit heel. It's like Paul Logan says in the ads for his reality show: attention is the currency of the USA right now, not likeability.
