Abstract
Professional Wrestling in America has gone through periods of growth and change through its history. This paper will argue that WWE and WCW is and was a reflection of political culture. Specifically, that during the 1990's and the height of the Monday Night Wars, WWE and WCW were reflective of a larger attitude change in politics, which was illustrated through such groups as D-Generation X and the New World Order.
