How Wrestling Explains the World

Monday Jun 04, 2018

The Wrestling Estate's David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's Nick Bond are here to provide a pleasantly in-depth weekly discussion on what makes professional wrestling, well, professional wrestling. And what that means for the rest of the world.
Because we live their lives on the end of a lightning bolt and do not apologize for that, we've decided to try something slightly different for this week's topic, Slasher Films: After we spend some time dissecting the finer points of Big Van Vader's Mastodon mask, Nick sits down with NYWC's Rich Kasin and Andy Miller to talk about slasher films and monster heels, before coming back to end the show with Dave's breakdown of the Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl and its violent ramifications throughout wrestling history.
If you liked the theme song, "Dog of War" by Dylan's band The Hell Yeah Babies, you should buy their album All The Things You Believe on Bandcamp

The Wrestling Estate's David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's Nick Bond are here with their first ever intentional minisode, a supplement to the pleasantly in-depth discussion on what makes professional wrestling, well, professional wrestling (and, at least every other week) what that means for the world.
This week, Bash at the Beach '96 becomes the second entry to our wrestling compendium. We talk about the nWo v. T-Pain, Hulk vs. Hollywood and, ever so briefly, Steve "Mongo" McMichael vs. Joe Gomez.

This week we cover Nick's favorite single piece of entertainment, The Music Man: Between Iowegians wanting to be lied to, to the striking amount of similarities between John Cena and Harold Hill, and the importance of a good lie,  we're here to tell you that -- by god -- we've got the entirety of River City covered just beyond that play button. Don't believe us? We guess you'll just have to listen for yourselves.

This week: It's our pilot, so we're spending some time going through the most and least wrestling things in the world, from electoral politics to abstract expresisonism. Which is to say: Come from the audio drops of CM Punk and Donald Trump speeches, stay for scorching hot Jackson Pollock takes.
