  Same. US defaultism strikes again. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone talk about wrestling in my life

    Nah, at least this once it’s definitely not a US defaultism thing.

    As an American, this is the first time I’ve thought about pro wrestling in a very very long time.

    Wrestling has a significant presence in Central America, Japan, and Europe. Presumably other regions as well but I really don’t follow the sport so my experience is all second-hand.

    it’s not a point of US defaultism, it’s that nobody in our respective social circles can give a shit about wrestling lol
