This lack of definition and broader comprehension of #ProWrestling itself, then, has permitted a plethora of problems to occur, including lack of funding and regulation. Explained Dr Warden: “This is exacerbated by the negative connotations of wrestling: that it is ‘less than’ sport, that it is fake, that it is popular (even, ‘working class’) and therefore not ‘real art’, that it's somehow not tasteful. All of this emanates from this initial question about whether wrestling is sport or theatre.”
