I watched wrestling at 3 years old (maybe that explains a lot). I've always loved wrestlers--there's something commedia dell'arte about them.

I think "wrestling fiction" is a thing, though I doubt it will or even could ever become a true genre unto itself. In a very small way, I contributed to it with "American Beauty", my story in the charity anthology OFF THE RECORD 2: AT THE MOVIES. Here's a bit about that story: http://erikarneson.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/off-the-record-2-now-available/<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Erik ArnesonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
