This is a terrific article about wrestling in the Congo that makes you want more and more. (hat tip to Theo)

“VOODOO WRESTLING” IS A REAL THING AND IT’S EMPOWERING WOMEN IN THE CONGO

It is from Vice Magazine.

A local fighter lays "dead" after his opponent tears out his guts and eats them. At a Catch Fetiche match, its sometimes hard to figure out what's real and what's part of the show. Jackson Fager for VICE News.

I googled Catch Fétiche which is what it is called. Lot’s of great stuff, check it out.

Catch Fétiche - loosely translated, "voodoo wrestling" - is a uniquely Congolese fighting style: a combination of traditional African wrestling moves, old religious practices, and one man's obsession with Hulk Hogan.

I could probably write a wild commentary on this if I wasn’t hours away from putting up the pre-orders for my book, with the ToTaL bOOk LaUnCH happening on MAY 12th, which is the angry baby god Nezha’s birthday.

In the meantime, read this book!
