David is joined by British wrestling historians Allan Blackstock (@allan_cheapshot), Keith Harris (@glasgowkjh), Tony Earnshaw (@RealErnestARS), and Bradley Craig (@BradleyCraigABZ) to talk about the 2024 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame results...sort of. Allan wanted to do a roundtable and didn't have anyone to record/host it, so David volunteered. It came up on short notice, so he dips in and out while multitasking with Allan leading the panel. We start with a deep dive into the "rest of the world" results before delving into the American categories and beyond, including a fascinating discussion of where everyone stands on Johnny Saint's induction. Enjoy!
