Lee B. Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Professional Wrestling Studies Association (PWSA) is hosting WrestlePosium IV, which will be taking place on Zoom next Saturday, April 1st from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST. Panel topics include: Actual Health, Injuries, and Illness as a Result of Pro Wrestling Representations of Health, Injury, and Illness in Professional Wrestling Wrestling in Cyberspace and Beyond Wrestling in Academia and Overseas Abraham Reisman, author of "True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee" and the upcoming "Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America", will provide the academic keynote address. Mike Lackey, who wrote the WCW comic published by Marvel comics in 1992-1993, will provide the professional keynote address. [Personal note: I worked in the same office for a short time as Mike Lackey when I was an intern at Marvel Comics in 1990. I invited Mike to speak, and he told me: "my talk will be about wrestlers as superheroes. Working with Turner licensing, and experiences with Scott Hall & Marc Mero. All good, fun, positive stories with some good laughs." I am really looking forward to Mike's talk!] You can find more information and register for free at https://www.prowrestlingstudies.org/wrestleposium-iv-april-1-2023/.

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I misread the title as “WrestlePossum” and, boy, was I curious. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the lack of Possum content, I still think Wrestleposium IV is worth checking out! Cheers, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I should dig out some of the stuff I wrote back in the 90s. Sadly, Ted and I did not overlap at Bowling Green, when I think he was doing wrestling stuff but my interest at the time was more about metatext.

If you didn't publish at the time, maybe you could dust it off and publish it with the Professional Wrestling Studies Association's journal.

odessasteps Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 One was probably too rudimentary, as it was a paper for a Poli Sci class about the evolution of the foreign heel in wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
