This was a lot of fun. Late-90s wrestling is my home, even (especially?) the worst of it.

Also: tweeting about wrestling will now go into my CV as "public-facing scholarship," thank you.

The new main episode of Contesting Wrestling is up! We talk to author and scholar of Islamic Studies Michael Muhammad Knight @MM_Knight. We talk to this esteemed professor about Sid vs. Shawn Michaels, and the stackable cage matches of 2000 WCW! Enjoy!

@SpaceKingBobby @ScribeBen Also apologies for the delayed response. Things have been super nuts as we have mentioned.

[Contesting Wrestling @ContestingW]

@SpaceKingBobby I remember talking about that a long time ago! I think it's a better idea now than it was before. @ScribeBen what say you?

[Contesting Wrestling @ContestingW]

@SpaceKingBobby I always thought MXC was super entertaining. - Doc
