| Pro Wrestling 101 Penn State is now offering a class on pro-wrestling. Here is an excerpt from their course schedule, which appeared in ESPN Magazine:
Penn State University: PSU 003: First Year Seminar-Professional Wrestling Industry 101: 1 Credit
"Seminar facilitates student's adjustment to college life. Topics range from Gorgeous George to the National Wrestling Alliance to Vince McMahon's attempt to nationalize the wrestling industry. Text is Captain Lou Albano's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Professional Wrestling. Homework includes watching Raw on Monday nights and making weekly visits to various wrestling websites.
Instructor David Parry: "An introduction to college life ought to mean studying something useful. That's why I teach pro wrestling."
Of course, the Idiot's Guide to Pro Wrestling is FULL of really really dumb errors. Such as:
-Owen Hart's finisher is a "drop kick"
-The Rock's real name is Rocky Melvin
So maybe if they switch to the Observer Newsletter...then I might sign up |
