The show where your nerdy obsession with Professional Wrestling is not only tolerated... it is celebrated! Every week Mat and Adam take a brief look at the history of Pro Wrestling of the day. From there we take a few minutes to review a retro WWE Raw or Smackdown from this week 24 years ago and then finish with The Wrestling Stu. Think of it as a catch all to cover what is going on all across the landscape of the sport from the previous week, or just random life events that need to be shared with our great listeners. Our goal is to entertain and hopefully make you laugh along the way!
