Official Grapply Podcast

As per the request of Akira Maeda's final and perhaps greatest protégé, Drew Galloway, we open wide for Big Mouth Loud's "Reallusion" show from 2006. It's time to watch old men pokin' ass, awkwardly say goodbye to a man who hates grapply and see Alan Karaev go down to a 4/10 punch.

I purchased a headset especially for the show but sadly it's bad as a microphone (somehow worse than the first episode where I was just talking into a tablet lol) - I will have a better microphone in the next episodes, so hopefully this is the end of the inferior audio issues. Sorry about that and I hope the show is still enjoyable!

My favourite wrestling match is probably Steven Seagal's CODE OF HONOR (2016, Michael Winnick) but unfortunately I can't remember anything about it. An episode legitimately four years in the making; an aggressively ambitious and obnoxiously long merge of professional wrestling and Steven Seagal discussion like nothing ever attempted before.

::

Here is the synopsis of CODE OF HONOR (2016, Michael Winnick)

1. You must shake hands before and after every match.
2. No outside interference - no interfering in others' matches or having others interfere on your behalf.
3. No sneak attacks
4. No harming the officials.
5. No purposefully disqualifying oneself; definitive winners by pinfall or submission were expected.
