EXACTLY! I am thrilled the parallels are apparent to people. This is an article from 2015:
I really believe Alex Jones considered his whole business endeavor to be professional wrestling tuned to a different medium. Professional wrestling never had a problem with people actually believing their storylines were true, it just made the fans more rabid. They resisted admitting it was fiction all the way up to the point of government hearings.
And think about who the target audience is for professional wrestling.
The most chilling moment to me was election night. Alex Jones gets somber and starts crying, and says “I won” and walks off. People have to understand how constructed conspiracy theory has been for the last 30 years, with full intent of political results, not just a lot of people refining fantasies randomly into a myth.
