Roland Barthes, "The World of Wrestling"

I have never read or heard, wrestling being described in such a deep explanation. Wrestling is described as a play being performed in a grand theatre, and the actors/wrestlers  performing to the perfection and expections of the audience. I love how the writer describes to feelings portrayed by the wrestler by the anguish look on his face or the throwing up of his arms as a sign of defeat, and how the audience loves to heat the bad guy and are thrilled when he gets his just reward.
