In this episode, we explore the links between wrasslin’ and comic book culture as we discuss “Is Pro Wrestling The Greatest?” Our guest is the host of The Goods From The Woods, pro-wrestling aficionado, and commentator Rivers Langley. Like cartoons or comic books, nearly everyone has memories of seeing the superstars of pro wrestling, especially children of the ’80s and ’90s. What makes some people stay invested in certain mythic figures in spandex like Spider-Man and Batman while simultaneously thinking of wrestling as “for kids”? Pro wrestling combines our love of sports, theater, and soap opera into a branding machine with a pop culture allure that waxes and wanes but never truly dies. So if you smeeeeeeeelllllll what The Pod………………………..is cookin’, you’ll tune in for this one, jabronis!
