Do we have an index of “good canonical wrestling clips” for educational purposes? Suppose you have someone sitting down who is generally familiar with wrestling and buys into the idea, but maybe hasn’t watched something in years.

* this is a great promo, and it’s a heel being a heel

* here is a bit of the flow of a tag team match

* oh look, an interruption

Maybe that’s a lot to ask! If we are building such a list, YouTube clips are probably most accessible.
