Nick Radford is the poet laureate of pro wrestling, and tells us about how he uses the writing and reading of literature in his matches. He explores the crossovers between wrestling and eroticism and reflects on the changes in professional wrestling over the last five years (whilst Andy Kesson gets characteristically excited about combat and poetry in the sixteenth century too).
