Action Bronson and Wale Have a Complex Conversation About Wrestling Going Mainstream
Spoiler alert! Wrestling is fake. There was a time where that revelation would be highly debated, but the reality of today is that the average fan doesn’t even care anymore. The WWE is a multi-billion dollar industry with some diehard fans.
During our first annual ComplexCon in Long Beach, CA, Complex brought together a panel of wrestling enthusiasts to discuss how big the “sport” has gotten in the latest episode of our new 16-episode series, Complex Conversations. Episode 5 is called “WWE Nation: Has Wrestling Gone Mainstream?” and features Complex’s very own Joe La Puma serving as host for a panel that includes Action Bronson, Wale and Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg. The quartet chop it up about everything from whether or not Rihanna would ever be a part of WrestleMania to how today’s WWE compares to WCW and ECW.
