Excellent Fantastic show.
Aussie Wrestling
A amazing use of my cents a day! I really enjoyed all of these episodes but the Australian Wrestling episode is a must for any Australian who is a Wrestling Fan, it does what so many have tried in covering the past respectfuly.
Also Krackerjac still seems like such a strange fit for an ABC job, I can't picture him in a suit & tie.
