Sweet Talk, Episode Six: Race And Misogyny in Wrestling, With A Very Special Guest
Howdy y'all!
I'm very proud to say that this episode of Sweet Talk features a dear to my heart guest, Nyia! Y'all can find her @NYIARULES on Twitter and Instagram, and @nianotjax on Tumblr! She's a dear friend of mine and a young wrestler-in-training with an incredible mind for the wrestling industry. I hope to have her on many times in the future, with the knowledge that she's soon to be a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
I asked Nyia to do this episode with me because she, as a black woman training to be a wrestler, has a front row seat to how race and misogyny function in wrestling, and that's exactly what we talk about here, prompted by the recent hashtags and social movements surrounding the Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks Wrestlemania main event. We end up dipping into a few other issues too, including hyping up Mustafa Ali and how the treatment of trans people in wrestling is comparable to the treatment of black people.
This is a bit of a doozy at 2 hours and 43 minutes, but I promise it's worth every second to hear Nyia's phenomenally intelligent thoughts and takes on the subject at hand, and my terrible jokes.
