Student became a professional wrestler after he watched news debates to improve his oratory skills














On December 1st there was an article about India by Santosh Pradhan headlined Person who started watching news debates to improve his oratory skills finally becomes a professional wrestler at a satirical web site called Faking News. It claimed student Sanil Jain started watching news debates to improve his speaking skills, but learned so many wrestling moves that he decided to become a professional wrestler.

The previous day there was another article by the same author titled Workers dig potholes which were filled up for Ivanka’s visit after citizens complain about not recognizing the roads.

These humorous articles are similar to those at the more famous satirical web site The Onion. Two recent brief ones there were titled Glitch in country allows citizens to temporarily walk through tables and Buick introduces self-buying car.

An image of wrestlers was retouched and cropped from an 1899 painting by Thomas Eakins at Wikimedia Commons.
