Ep. #68 | Body Slams & Belief Systems: Pro Wrestling's Role in Civic Religion with Cyprian
In episode 68, Marc welcomes back Vin Armani aka Cyprian to look at the implications of the Netflix-WWE deal and the implications for our techs-feudalist system. Why is wrestling so sought after by major media companies, beyond just the dollars and cents? How does pro wrestling serve as a mirror for our society, and why is it the ultimate expression of heroic myth in the modern age?
In the Smoke-Filled Room, Marc and Cyprian dive deep into the psychology of Vince McMahon and how much of the "Mr. McMahon" character was a reflection of his own dark soul. View the FULL episode by becoming a Member here on YouTube!
