With WrestleMania right around the corner, we thought it was high time to have yet another episode devoted to one of our favorite things: pro wrestling. Sure, we’ve got that OTHER show where we only talk about wrestling (and you should definitely be listening to Pat on the Mat if you aren’t already) but it’s not the same as sitting down with a wrestler and just shooting the shit.
If you only watch the WWE brand of pro-wrestling, you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. There is amazing, local, affordable indie wrestling promotions in Montreal and one of the best of those is the one and only BATTLEWAR and they will be celebrating their 7th Anniversary on April 14th at Foufounes Electrique. Giant Tiger is one of the mad geniuses behind the magic of BATTLEWAR and we welcome him back to the show to talk about learning to wrestle in the back of a porn studio, wrecking people’s cars with a moving truck (transporting a wrestling ring of course) and having his jaw wired shut after working a stiff match. It’s a good one.
Enjoy the show!
