    Wrestling Is Gross #89 - The Septic City Invitational

    Wrestling Is Gross #89 - The Septic City Invitational

    Have you ever told a joke so many times that you started to believe it was a real story? That's kind of how this episode happened. As promised, it's the Carnage Cup 13 review, with special co-host Daniel Makabe. 




     
    You can watch Daniel Makabe vs. JAIDEN on IWTV tomorrow, December 2nd for DOA Wrestling!
     
    You can also watch Daniel Makabe vs. ROH star BILLIE STARKZ on IWTV next weekend, December 8th at ACTION Wrestling's Bangers Only 4!
     
    You can even watch him the next day vs. Kody Manhorn on IWTV, December 9th for TWE! This man is working!
     
    Check out his band GRIEFWALKER on Bandcamp! They're performing a live soundtrack for the f*****g Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in February! This is easily the coolest thing I've ever plugged.
     
    Follow Daniel Makabe on X app and Instagram! He's a quality poster, I wouldn't have him on the show if he was just a good wrestler!

Jerk Bronson ,

Is Wrestling gross?

Yes. A very fun podcast featuring two (or more) of you favorite semi-inebriated perverts going through a curated playlist of Wrestling oddities. It’s like a book club for illiterates. An after school choir club singing the praises of folks best left forgotten (including but not limited to Arik Cannon’s trash bag pants)

I may be crossed but Mickie Knuckles vs Tank makes me cry; Thanks for being great tastemakers.

Death to America, death to Joel Osteen.

As the sun sets on the American empire, this is the only can’t miss wrestling podcast for me anymore. 2 real ones. Love hearing their opinions and love the matches they choose to cover
