I’ve just watched the first episode of TIGER MASK W, the new wrestling-themed anime.

It’s fascinating to watch a story about pro wrestling in this day and age that refuses to break “kayfabe”, while at the same time featuring cameos from actual real wrestlers, like “Rainmaker” Okada.

Makes me wonder why we don’t have more wrestling themed fiction that acknowledges the end of kayfabe, and tell more stories about the drama and politics of backstage combined with the action of the in-ring angles.
