[shuai jiao] Wrestling King (Jiao Wang)

Thanks to Michael and his great blog Shuaijiao.tv for pointing out this new Chinese show: Wrestling King *. Basically it's about a Chinese wrestler confronting the evil Japanese and using his martial arts skills to defeat the bad guys. So ok, it's the same plot as every other Chinese series ever written, but this time it's about wrestling. Can you imagine a show about a special forces agent using BJJ to fight terrorists ? Or a unit of crime fighting Sambo experts ? Or what about a special squad of MMA fighters that go around fighting demons and solving mysteries ? (mysteries such as "can you choke out a vampire ?")

Here are episodes 1, 2, and 3.

*ps: I don't necesarilly agree on Michael's view on wrestling and its potential influence on Chinese gender perception. In my experience, Chinese female wrestlers don't look that feminine either...

I don't think you can choke out a vampire, though I have seen it on old Buffy re-runs. Anyway, thanks for these links, even if the themes have been over done. It is still interesting.

One part compost to two or three parts potting soil would be a
sufficient combination. When you're preparing your planting area, just mix the soil with about three inches of organic compost. Organic gardening teaches kids about the value of hard work and its rewards.

Much of the Christmas celebration actually begins in the last week
leading up to Christmas and this is the time that the event
s joined by those taken flights to Egypt from UK and other places.
The lead character of Dumm's strip was a male, whereas Messick's
lead character was female. It ends when God kills thousands of His Chosen People with a plague (love those germs)
and an earthquake (shake, rattle and roll) as punishment for
rumblings in the ranks. As of now, I can only
speculate that there are more good than bad to go on-line for the newspaper publishers in
Malaysia as apparently there has been no case where a newspaper publisher has gone bust.
Both clutched and being clutched, she was driven to
