I would certainly have been banned from attending this if I was not a journalist.

And I also abstained from wrestling.

Strictly business.

So we arrived at this event.

It was in a sort of warehouse space in northern Brooklyn.

I'm walking in.

Wow.

You sort of walk into this big empty space, the kind of space that you might have a rave in or something like that.

But in the middle of the room, there were laid out these three bright pink wrestling mats with sort of makeshift ropes wrapped around them in a very like DIY WWE sort of way.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly.

Exactly.

The vibe of the place feels like young.

And so Callie and I started mingling, talking to folks.

Is that people are really tired of the apps.

Exactly.

Are you guys feeling ready?

Are you nervous?

Right, so for people who wanted to wrestle, and it was not a requirement that you wrestle, obviously, but for people who wanted to, you mingle around the room, you look for someone that maybe you might be interested in romantically.

Or fighting.

Or fighting, yes.
