    Historic Wrestling Venues

    Historic Wrestling Venues

    Professional Wrestling is supposed to be a fun, entertaining activity that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people. Every once in a while though, a match can get out of hand and put the wrestler in real danger. One of the darkest days in Pro Wrestling history took place in November of 1996 during an ECW house show, now know as The Mass Transit Incident.

Season 2 hopeful

Good back and forth, with a dynamic approach to perspectives. The topics covered are varied and interesting. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this show. I allowed myself to get invested in this podcast, knowing there were only 16 episodes. If you’re taking votes, yea for season 2.

PTD27 ,

Excellent for all wrestling fans!

The folks on this show do a great job at breaking down their topics without going into too much nuance. As such, I'd recommend it to both long-time fans of wrestling as well as those newer to wrestling and even folks who weren't around for the original (De)Generation X wrestling goodness.
