    This was one of my best decisions... Wrestling needs more entertainers and storytellers, Christian was one heck of an underrated guy in college, and allowing people to tell their stories is the most gratifying part of this show, what an underrated badass, go get 'em as an athletic trainer. Side Note-What a badass thumbnail-went out with a bang.

    Some episodes are just too much fun they shouldn't even be allowed. The one and only Vito Arujau critiques my awful russian, explains the cultural differences between Russia and the US, the vast differences between folkstyle and freestyle, and finally of course, the most important thing of all, twitter with Sammy Alvarez. Just a quick reminder for all the podcast people that episode 10 was a live stream on YouTube only.
