To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Friction-posting. On the vulgar, but immediately satisfying level, it inspires the juvenile (yet pure) pleasure of making Phil fans seethe. Yet on a conceptual level, its implications are much more sophisticated. By implying that one of the legendary "tough guys" of the business was actually at his toughest not in the ring, but during after-hours bouts of lube-free man-on-man action, Friction-posting more pointedly deconstructs the aura and mythos of the "bad ass professional wrestler" that has underpinned the industry for decades. Indeed, some posters miss that there is actually a Friction Cinematic Universe, as it has also been reveal in offshoot threads that other 80s roughnecks like Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen also appear in the pages of "Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America's Gay Bathhouses." Friction-posting, I dare say, truly is the Thinking Man's 92.
