And you think wrestling is the space where artful stunts are happening? Be for real.
Kitsch isnât an insult. A lot of things we love are kitsch. Itâs just a designator between that which used the techniques and skills of art to create that which entertains but does not meet the trappings of art. Hubble miniatures are kitsch. Most sitcoms are kitsch. And wrestling is absolutely, 100% kitsch.

So if itâs popular itâs not art.
People like you are why Ferraris arenât in art museums.

Tons of popular things are art. Nothing I said suggested otherwise.

But youâre basically saying âIâve never seen a good example of pro wrestling being art, so it must not exist.â
If itâs not your thing, thatâs fine, but going out of your way to say âthis entire genre is actually lesser than REAL artâ is pretty silly. Itâs judgemental and also pretty close minded. Itâs what I used to do as a teenager.
