My favorite wrestling podcast

These two wrestling historians deliver a Moneyball podcast for the territory era of professional wrestling. They are fastidious with their facts and fair with their judgments. Essential listening if you love pro wrestling history.

A really unique show.

Al and Jon do an excellent job, taking what could potentially be a dry subject, and fleshing it out with history to make it a fun, entertaining listen.
