We love you, we love wrestling...2020 not so much
This is the Philippine Wrestling Podcast Season 1 Finale
and we talk at length about 2020, and focus on the nice things that have happened. And there are a number of them! Red, Poch, and Camus chose to talk about 20 of them at length (and a few more here and there). But yeah: 2020 has been a rough year. Wrestling has been forced to adapt, and it's given us some wonderful gems this year: cinematic matches, instant classics, Japanese tournaments, and proper retirements...all with a pandemic in the backdrop. We're just grateful to be able to do this podcast and have our health to close out this season. Have a listen to a longer than usual episode covering the highest points of the year (for us). We'll be back soon enough in January!
WAR GAMES
Say it with us: WAR GAMES!
Poch, Camus, and Red absolutely loved what they saw coming from NXT WAR GAMES. Listen in to hear the boys' thoughts on what is becoming one of WWEs best PPVs, especially when it comes to the Undisputed Era and Pat McAfee running the namesake match. There's also a little bit of speculation about Kenny Omega, AEW, and Impact (not TNA) Wrestling and where all this could be going.

Traditional Multi-Man Survivor Series Episode (and A Little Tribute To The Undertaker)

What a great PPV that was tho, find out why the boys think the Womens 5v5 stole the show, some interesting theories on how the Universal Championship would be booked, and a weird comparison of wrestlers to drag queens.

Wrestlers Not Wrestling Vol. 1 (with Quatro)
It's been 9 months since the last PWR show and that leaves a lot of wrestlers not wrestling at the moment. But it's a good thing our wrestlers aren't just wrestlers, they're a whole lot of other things too!
We're starting a series within our podcast in which we catch up with one of our wrestlers and talk about the non-wrestling part of their lives. And who better to talk to us about their hobbies, than an all-around guy like Quatro. He used to be an MMA Fighter, now a pro-wrestler who's wrestled guys like Jeff Cobb. But his outside ring life includes game streaming and running a small tshirt business!
Catch the first of many WRESTLERS NOT WRESTLING now!
