hell, chris bell has been eating steak lunch and dinner off this story for even longerhttps://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/can-we-trust-action-heroes-crazy-body-transformation-stories …
somewhere along the line "kath" became a wrestling expert too, in the span of a couple months. fascinating. it's all very fascinating. it can be your life, and somebody's way to earn a quick buck or two for what passes for an extremely online living
yeah, i have no beef with any of that, but when i read about mma back in the day, i read you and a few others. now i'm talking to you. i don't purport to know nearly as much about mma, and i continue to read your stuff, etc. the same goes for other people i've followed
yeah, i don't mind it. wikipedia and move on. i'd say there are only a few wrestlers (or athletes generally) i know in considerable detail, and they're sometimes but not always the ones i write the obits for. sometimes i've just gotta make do with what i've got.
i have my rolodex of regular people, i have the books of various kinds i refer back to (currently reading one about the 04-05 Oklahoma State wrestling season), etc. otherwise i've gotta fill in the gap with youtube, highspots interviews, you name it
my phd was in legal history ... and i wouldn't even dream of plowing into the kind of policy discussions people blithely have online. way too complicated. i don't know the lay of the land
everyone interested enough to read the story is essentially a "future writer" of the story, or believes themselves more knowledgeable than the writer...i get emails reading "that's the kind of stuff i'd write but i'd say blah blah blah"
