Episode notes

After the montreal screw job, and after this speech, the writers of the w w f started blurring the lines on a different level. There were no more ridiculous, no stupid, unbelievable, childish, ignorant, immature characters. Every character we had was basically an extension of themselvesyou know, stone called steve austin one thousand times magnified. And as a result, that was the beginning of the biggest boom in the history of the wrestling business. That was great t v, plain and simple. The fans just want something true. Just tell the fans what happened.

All the world’s a stage. Or, sometimes it feels that way, especially these days. In this episode, originally aired in 2015, we push through the fourth wall, pierce the spandex-ed heart of professional wrestling, and travel 400 years into the past to unmask our obsession with authenticity and our desire to walk the line between reality and fantasy.

Thanks to Nick Hakim for the use of his song "The Light".
