a thing my friend @ietyler likes to say is that pro wrestling is america's only profitable performance art, and I keep that one around in my back pocket for whenever I need to think about wrestling
in short I think people would still want to tell stories in the medium of pro wrestling -- there's still an appeal to big meaty men slapping meat and the campiest, most caricatured storytelling in the world -- but obviously a lot of the particulars would be unrecognizable; The Business as an entity that interacts with in-ring storytelling is a huge part of pro wrestling under capitalism and the structure of that would shift dramatically
it's fun to imagine a world where the last bastion of private enterprise is fake entities that get propped up in kayfabe as a plot point
