The Arts Wrestling Federation Urban League is a bunch of adults jumping around in outlandish costumes reliving the glory days of late 80’s/early 90’s pro-wrestling. Part political satire, part absurdist improvisation, it also sounds like a lot of fun. Here AWFUL Wrestling founder, Jerry Kaba speaks with Artblog’s Matt Kalasky about why his faux wrestling movement has caught on so thoroughly with local artists and how he is taking steps to make it as inclusive as possible. Can a pool noodle subvert toxic masculinity? Listen to find out. This conversation was recorded on October 30, 2018 at Moore College of Art and Design’s TGMR radio station. The podcast is 21 minutes long.
“The Party Priest” wants YOU to check out his next AWFUL Wrestling Match, Fall Night, Friday November 10 at PhilaMOCA.
