Let’s Talk Wrestling

It has been great listening to these stories! Wrestling is such a unique sport and one doesn’t need to have reached the highest levels or awards for it to have an immense affect on their lives. It’s been a lot of fun hearing the successes, the struggles, and relationships that wrestling has helped build.

SO GOOD!!

I can’t wait for each new episode. It feels like I’m listening to two friends catch up — I get to learn about each wrestler in such depth. After listening, I want to root for each one of them because I feel like I’m friends with them too!
