I'm reading a PhD Thesis about pro-wrestling, and it is coming out of the gate swinging.
It says, the WWF was built on the back of "Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea, a 330 pound, 6’8” blonde strongman
with off-the-charts charisma and limited technical wrestling skill" and, yes that's absolutely true but I've never read it put so directly.

I read a *lot* of academic papers on media and entertainment and most of them are dry and dense.
This one is breezy and conversational. Information dense, for sure, but written by someone who clearly enjoys reading (unlike many of the papers I read.)
