Low Blows

As Survivor Series WarGames approaches, it’s time to click back into wrestling mode as we hit the peak time of year! There’s just one small problem…as he spoke about in our All In review, Gerry is burnt out on wrestling currently.

Fortunately, Ger’s wrestling fandom is at a peak in itself, so in an effort to air it all out the lads clash the things that are making them positive and negative about wrestling. We also asked you guys to contribute and let you air out the things that give you hope and despair with the current wrestling landscape.

Today, Gerry & Ger discuss repetitiveness in WWE, AEW’s approach to booking new signings like Ilja Dragunov, some good stuff that can be found if you look a bit further afield, the madness of the Clockwork Carnage match, whether WWE will appear in Saudi Arabia and much more.

Plus who in wrestling had a start to the job like Trump’s short-lived Katie Zacharia and is the new Street Fighter movie featuring Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns actually any good? Ger’s seen it and shares his thoughts specific to Low Blows listeners.

On a slightly different episode of Low Blows, we look at the Christmas release of HBO’s new Harry Potter TV show and how we feel about it in-light of JK Rowling’s comments about trans people over the years.

It’s a subject very close to the hearts of Gerry & Ger. The first ever podcast they did together, in 2018, was discussing their shared love and the personal resonance of the Harry Potter series to them. However they also have trans people close to them in their lives so JK Rowling’s comments hit them on a personal level. How do they untangle this ahead of the show? 

In a world where everyone seems to be biting their tongues on the matter, they delve into all of the issues before coming to their own conclusions about whether or not they’ll watch in an effort to help you towards your own feelings on the matter…if you’re like them and very confused right now.

Plus, in the wake of Ed Sheeran’s controversy with Macklemore, who in wrestling needs to just get off the fence?
