underground wrestling and pigeon stomping

First we have a page from broken pencil.

The page is a glorious search for a wrestling subculture entitled

Under the Ropes: Searching for the Soul of a Wrestling Subculture

WOW!!! Freaking NEATO.

How does this intersect with pigeon stomping?

WOW!!

The paper, which seems to be an account of the underground wrestling scene, describes a super 8 video made by one of the guys from Tijuana Bibles. (Also see Tijuana Bibles...)

In this video a good guy wrestler tries to stop a bad guy wrestler from feeding pigeons exploding food. (which reminds me of my friend Raf who used to feed alkaseltzer to birds to watch them explode... also another story of feeding alkaseltzer to sea gulls...)

The good guy wrestler gets his ass whooped and then there's an "an orgasmic pigeon stomping frenzy." The good guy comes back in the end.

So what we see here is the characterization of pigeon stomping as an inherantly though perhaps comically evil act.
