It’s a new episode, yes it is!

This month, “The Godfather” Nate Milton & “The Professor” Kris Ealy are joined by “All NWA” Chinyere Okafor (Notoriety Sports Network) to discuss Big E’s big win, the continuing conversation around AEW’s main event scene, and the ups & downs of being a Black woman in Pro-Wrestling/MMA media.

Andrew Thompson returns for another informative installment of “Nubian News” featuring our thoughts on Righteous Reg’s “BWI 500”, Brandi Rhodes handling online criticism, Booker T being wrong (again), and the impact of the #BlackWrestlingDraws movement.

All that, plus the guys talk about why Black wrestlers in the WWE have to win their “conference games” (and why Francis from Accounting won’t understand that reference) on a new edition of The N.W.A. Podcast!

The NWA Podcast is a monthly podcast that drops every 2nd Sunday on POST Wrestling!
