Porn-inspired Thinkie-thoughts
Jun. 13th, 2006 05:00 pmI scored some fine porn at Halfprice books this weekend. Included among the short stories in Flesh and the Word III was a NON-CON BETWEEN WRESTLERS WRITTEN by my favorite pro porn-writer Aaron Travis. Oh, the pervy joy.
It included pony play and costumes. Zomg, joy. *am ded from wet panties*
But the most whee! aspect of the story was this bit of dialogue: You may thing that the world of pro-wrestling is split between good guys and bad guys. That ain't so. The split comes between Tops and Bottoms. A Top may be a good guy or a villain, an angel or an asshole, but whatever. He's got that certain something that makes the crowd wanna see him come out on top. Same with a Bottom. Good guy, bad guy, doesn't matter. He's got that certain something that makes a crowd go wild when they see him get the shit knocked out of him.
Should have been edited leaner and meaner. Yes, yes, yes. Think Angle and X-Pac.
So now I'm all SpazzyBrained over the interpersonal dynamics of the idea. Especially in tag team situations. Or Character VS. The Man Playing Him-- like how Cena gained Top popularity while they were booking him as a joke-bottom, but they minute they started writing him as Uber-Top, the crowd wanted nothing but ass-kickings for him.
The stories, zomg the stories that will come from this. Stories and angst, stories and non-connery. Stories, stories, stories
