According to Leverette, a student of media studies at Rutgers University who teaches courses in media and popular culture, this study of professional wrestling seeks "(1) to explore how popular culture has been evaluated and understood in the modern world by looking at various 'schools' of criticism, (2) to establish the existence of myth and ritual in the modern, technological world, and illustrate its function as sociological propaganda, (3) to explore the narratives of professional wrestling to elucidate how stories continually present a thematic myth of America."
