Troubles Wrestling

I did it, I snagged one of the wildest interviews yet. Daniel Makabe and I started talking not about his storied career, but strange punk music and THAT is why he’s cut from a different cloth. Of course, we did end up broaching the subject of wrestling and this is the end result of those Instagram DMs. Daniel was a wealth of knowledge and one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever talked to. I’d like to believe this is only second to the over 4 hour epic that the Q&Tr pod did in 2019 in terms of depth in Makabe’s career.

We're back yet again for another dive into The Chains and it's a very special episode all about the NHB 100 show and what we believe to be perhaps the best deathmatch show of the decade and perhaps even longer! We have all the details on every match, SHLAK VS SLADE, Angel vs Lucky, Mancer is the man, and everything in between! Thanks for the love, we really appreciate it!
