The Best Damn Wrestling Podcast
A weekly panel show mixing pro-wrestling news, event reviews, and long-form interviews with independent and veteran wrestlers.
This is a roundtable discussion and interview show with a clear "for the fans, by the fans" energy. The hosts, who have their own side-hustles, bring a blue-collar, motivational perspective to their analysis of the wrestling world, celebrating the grind of the business both in and out of the ring.
“The show's blend of wrestling talk with genuine check-ins on the hosts' own entrepreneurial ventures gives it a unique, grounded feel. The elaborate, wrestling-style introductions for co-hosts and the structured "Final Word" motivational segment are also signature flourishes.”
