CNN LOOKS AT PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING AS ART, NEW DVD CHRONICLES LOST WWE DEVELOPMENTAL FOOTAGE & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-02-23 10:51:00

CNN profiled the Orange Crush, the professional wrestling as art magazine, which recently released its second edition, interviewing publisher Adam Abdalla.  "If I go to people who might not be interested in wrestling, 'I did this journal,' they go, 'Oh, this is cool, this is eccentric,'" Abdalla said. "And I wanted to open wrestling fans' eyes to the scope of how people incorporate the visual language of wrestling into contemporary culture."   

As a matter of full disclosure, I wrote the cover piece for the latest article, profiling Jon Moxley.  You can order at www.OrangeCrush.art.
