Pro Wrestling returns to Oglethorpe University this evening!
Join students of Oglethorpe for an evening of big time professional wrestling featuring Micah & Tracy Taylor, Isis, Bull Buchanan, Chic Donovan, Kaotic Romeo, Nigel Sherrod, The Professor and other local favorites.
According to their web site, Oglethorpe University offers a class focusing on professional wrestling:
From 'Wrestling' to 'Wrasslin': The Development of Professional Wrestling in Twentieth Century America."
Professional wrestling, long confined to small arenas and smoky halls, exploded in the 1980's and 1990's to become a billion dollar industry. This course will look at the emergence of this curious tradition from the carnival sideshows to the worlds of cable television and pay-per-view. Students will split time with text, group discussion, video, guest speakers, and perhaps a field trip or two.
The address for Oglethorpe is 4484 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30319. There is no charge for the event.
