4 h. ago Get ready to rumble: how wrestling broke out of the ring and on to the stage

Far from the big money and bombast of WWE, standup comedians, performance artists and drag kings are adopting the sport and taking it down unexpected new creative pathsPhil Wang was about to get his hands on the championship belt. He was claiming the prize for Clash of the Comics, the bombastic night that throws comedians and pro wrestlers into the ring, when Ed Gamble stormed in, knocked everyone out, and swanned off with the belt. “Well,” corrects the comedian and Clash co-founder Max Olesker, “we were knocked down by his henchman.” Hulking pro wrestler Bullit was the one to clothesline him and his comedy partner, Ivan Gonzalez. “I think I could have taken Ed if he’d been on his own,” huffs Olesker.The popularity of pro wrestling has fluctuated since its golden era in the 1980s.
