Every Wrestlecrap Induction by Art0Donnell (so far)









Apartment Wrestling: The induction too alabaster for WrestleCrap!

A while back, I inducted Sports Review Wrestling's long-running apartment wrestling feature to WrestleCrap. Unfortunately, its risqué subject matter got it flagged by Google, so we took it off the site. But now, after some creative edits you'll hardly even noticed, it's back online!

Shortly after Sports Review Wrestling’s debut publication in 1972, the magazine began covering not just the professional wrestling, but a different sort of wrestling altogether. This women-only genre was “an athletic event — the newest and most popular sporting craze in America — known simply as Apartment Wrestling.” And by the end of the decade it had become “the symbol of the 1970s.”

Not just a symbol, but the symbol.
