We all have our own ways of appreciating pro wrestling, and in this episode, Lesther AKA ‘Roman Reigns’ of the cosplay group Multiverse Wrestling Unlimited shares with us just how fun, creative, and productive it could be for some of the most dedicated fans in the community.

Also, Linus chimes in on the entire CONQuest 2023 fiasco, and how this could impact conventions moving forward.

A great shoot-style wrestler once said, "In fact, pro-wrestling is strong." On this episode of the podcast, Linus is joined by one of the hardest hitting wrestlers in the Philippine pro-wrestling scene and the owner/promoter of World Underground Wrestling - Philippines, Saint John Martin. The "Patron Saint of Shoot Style" shared his stories on how he got into the local wrestling scene, his style of wrestling, his vision for WUW - PH, and more.

Thank you to Hobby Stadium for allowing us to record this episode of the podcast!

It's different but it feels familiar. Last April 30, Manila Wrestling Federation held Republika 2023 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight in Makati City, which to some may feel at home whenever watching wrestling there. On this episode of the podcast, we talk about some of the notable things that had happened during this year's Republika and possible outcomes that may happen after the event.

Ant, Linus, and the rest of the boys sat down for a drink with one of Pinoy wrestling’s most popular names, Razael of World Underground Wrestling and Manila Wrestling Federation. ‘Ang Katagay ng Tondo’ shared his wrestling journey so far, his philosophy when it comes to professional wrestling, and more. One shot of gin at a time. 

PS: Y’all gotta try the nachos from Tacio’s. This ain’t sponsored but, man… they’re hella generous with the serving. 

WrestleMania 39 Nights 1 and 2 seem to be a tad bit too different from one another. On one hand, everything had a satisfying ending; the other, well, let's just say it's not THAT good. But where does everyone go from here? On this episode of the podcast we talked about the possible routes WWE might take coming from the 4 marquee matches in the card.

Is it THAT hard to realize that clearly they also need personal space? While it is normal for us fans to appreciate seeing wrestlers in public places, some don't respect their privacies and boundaries. Join us as we have a quick talk about some fans not being able to read the room and let wrestlers continue on with their lives aside from performing in the ring.

What if Pinoy Wrestling in the 1980s continued through the ‘90s and 2000s? That’s the first thing that we thought of after the iWitness feature by GMA7. So on top of day drinking at Funki Izakaya, we decided to figure out what could have been had the Filipino wrestling scene not fade away, on this episode of the podcast.

After an exciting day of DeXcon with members of the Pinoy wrestling community, we, alongside our bro Slickmaster, sat down at Gold Brew for a cup of coffee to absorb the tears of bitter, in-denia— Oh wait, we can’t write that? Ayt ayt.

On this episode of the podcast, we’re looking at the fallout of the WWE Elimination Main event and how each moving component factors in as we fast track on the road to WrestleMania 39, and beyond!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for DeXcon. See you at WrestleMania!

After a night of drinking— Ant, Linus, and their friends Slick and Link, sobered up at a burger joint by commenting on internet comments made by the different kinds of wrestling “fans” and how said remarks impact the broader culture as a whole.
