In this episode, Heath Mullikin and Mark Whitman passionately critique a Bleacher Report article listing 25 wrestlers who couldn’t make it today. Needless to say, we found it offensive and insulting to some of the all-time greats. We love professional wrestling and are blown away by people who just don’t “get it” especially those parading as journalists on national websites. This episode, recorded over lunch, was meant to be a conversation of 25 wrestlers unique to their time. As you will hear, we found it to be an opportunity to emphatically defend the wrestling we grew up with and those who laid the ground work for this world wide phenomenon.
