Where Does the Art Start?
It’s hard to know where the art starts and ends in this story about the in-fighting in the wrestling cabaret stylings of Seattle Semi-Pro Wrestling. “It’s a bunch of grown men and women in costumes pretending to be
professional wrestlers. It is
to wrestling as ‘West Side Story’ is to actual gang relations.” Who knows what Kaiju Big Battel’s Los Plantanos think of SSP’s The Banana.
