About this listen

 Two nerdy librarians aim to preserve the art form that is Professional Wrestling by watching old shows and discussing their place in the lore. They also interview wrestlers and wrestling personalities to share their story and have conversations on topics relating to the pro wrestling community.Rich Sigwald and Tim Hackman Combat Sports & Self-Defense Wrestling
