ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 8月21日 02時13分

This summer, the photographer @dedecim took a look inside New York’s underground #wrestling scene, a DIY community of performers, referees, managers and fans who embrace the violent pageantry of a sport usually seen on pay-per-view or in arenas. For a few hours a week, they congregate in gyms, nightclubs and social clubs to perform under the guises of brutish and flamboyant personae. “We’re all having fun and enjoying doing this,” said Jake Gomez, 31, who works as a special-education teacher in Downtown Brooklyn during the daytime. “The outlet is being in the ring and being able to express the superhero inside you.” Jake’s superhero persona: @kingofchaosnyc. Most wrestlers in the underground community revel in the freedom of temporary shape-shifting. “This was never something I thought I’d be able to do,” said Alex Abakulov, who wrestles as A.J. Spectre and studies osteopathic medicine. “I was this out-of-shape foreign kid who grew up poor and always got made fun of. I didn’t expect that I’d be performing in front of anybody. Every show is a gift.” Swipe left to see more of @dedecim’s photos of NYC’s #undergroundwrestling scene, and visit the link in our profile to read @subwayjeans’s story. #thelooknyt
