My first recollection of professional wrestling goes way back to probably 1982, when I was about 11 years old. We’d just moved across the country to South Carolina and two regional sporting events were televised during the weekends – roller derby and NWA (National Wrestling Alliance)/Mid-Atlantic Wrestling.

Throbbing Gristle – “Music From The Derek Jarman Film In The Shadow Of The Sun” (1984)
Derek Jarman was an English artist and filmmaker who worked primarily outside the mainstream.
