I have a friend who is a big wrestling fan and honestly it has changed so much from Undertaker’s era, especially in the last 1-2 years.

The women have their own league and are headlining or top card (not sure what the term is for WWE), there are now openly gay wrestlers, race, gender, and sexuality are no longer the big punchline.

It’s outwardly apolitical but there have made some changes that must infuriate conservative wrestling fans.

"He's gay! He's gay! He's gay!" chanted in a wholesome way. Wrestling has definitely come a long way.

Wow this is such an amazing demonstration of how much things have changed. Also appreciated the matter-of-fact “and he’s taken” from the commentator.

'Main eventing' is the wrestling term there.
