At the Concord Music Hall, a venue in Chicago, two wrestling champions are preparing for their bout. A man wearing an inflatable eagle costume introduces the main contender. He is “the great USA-Hole”, dressed in cowboy boots, stars-and-stripes leggings, a shirt with a bald eagle, and a backwards stars-and-stripes baseball cap. Then comes his opponent, “CanaDad”, an overly polite father in double denim and a Canada jersey, to electronic strains of “O Canada”. As they warm up, USA-Hole shouts out an insult: “Bartender, I need some ice.” The crowd of about 500—many dressed in support of particular characters—erupts in boos.
