This week we take a deep dive into the weird and wonderful world of wrestling, sports entertainment and combat sports, and its intersection with politics. From looking at the origins of UFC as a means for a notorious Brazilian family to show the world they can beat anyone up, to the antics of Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki, particularly when he entered politics, to how the inane performative stupidity of the British political class can essentially be viewed as kayfabe, nothing is left off the table. Or ladder, or chair.
