Pro Wrestling Illustrated Presents
Sports:Wrestling
In this episode of The PWI Podcast, Al Castle and Brian R. Solomon return with a lengthy, substantive discussion in which they break down the winners, runners-up, and possible snubs in the 2021 PWI Achievement Awards. Find out Al and Brian's thoughts about the winners and who, in certain categories, they felt should've won instead.
Our hosts also deliberate why AEW talent fared so well, which segues into some talk of the long history of PWI appearing at wrestling events. (No, contrary to some tweets we've read, this is not a new phenomenon!)
Plus, Al and Brian weigh in on the latest inductees into the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame, discussing who they'd like to see included in the future, whether a wrestler's conduct away from the ring should influence eligibility, and how the selection process could potentially be improved. (WARNING: This last section contains some discussion of sensitive topics and alleged criminal activity.)
