CONGO - WRESTLING & WITCHCRAFT

In the Congo, wrestling is just as popular as it is in America. The main difference is that the Congolese like to introduce a mystical, magical "voodoo" element to the pantomime. So as well as huge goons wearing spandex and diving off ten-foot-high stages, there's also the inclusion of "magical traditions" which involve magic powders, spells and zombie-like transformations of wrestlers.
