Résumé
Culturally embedded spectacle is a unique conceptual framework developed for this paper to explain the continuity of professional wrestling in five core countries or territories. The main factors are: a continuous history, national television exposure during the post World War II era, larger-than-life ‘faces’ during this timeframe, extensive independent federations and celebrating the past.
