Performing WWE Stunts As A Kid (Episode #161 - Wrestling)
About this episode
I think this might be our best introduction yet. The flair. The passion. The costume. The belts. What more does one need? In this episode on 'Wrestling' Juan and I discuss: some of styles of wrestling across the world, the difference between the western 'grind' and eastern 'art', stories from mayhem when we were kids, watching WWE and Lucha Libre in person before ending with Juan's recommendations for the most insane and impressive stunts in the professional wrestling world.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
