Episode 72 - Sampson, Produce Wrestling, & Underground Lucha

We are back this week with the big announcement that, starting Monday June 15, the Underground Lucha Experience becomes a stand-alone podcast. Join us as Bob discovers Lucha Underground for the first time, Jon relives the memories of watching every episode the first time, and we react in real time. The old Lucha Underground episodes are being uploaded to the Lucha Underground YouTube channel as we speak, so watching along with us just became easier than ever! Join us at www.undergroundlucha.com (http://www.undergroundlucha.com)     In our News and Notes, Bob and Jon discuss the unique structure of the new PRODUCE Wrestling, its recent addition to the MyAEW streaming app (even before its debut show), and the stacked card that Jonathan Gresham has curated for their debut event. Also, we discuss: • Zoey Serrano (fka Zoey Stark) announced for match at HAW vs Leyla Hirsch • Tiphani Grady nears one full year with two separate championships • Bobbi Thunder to get a shot at the WWE ID Championship • Vito Fratelli wins the IWRG Championship • WWE ID performers now required to use their WWE name when wrestling independent shows Next, UPW Heavyweight Champion, Sampson, returns to update us on his nationwide tour defending the UPW Championship (and looking to pick up even more titles), Roxy Astor's show in LA being a huge success, his ever growing presence with the NWA, and what's next for The Collective after MarquetteMania IV. In our Control Center, we preview shows from three companies coming up this weekend. As always, we thank these promotions for permission to use their audio to enhance The Control Center: • River City Championship Wrestling • All-Star Wrestling WV • Pure Vanguard Wrestling Next week, the Danger Ginger returns to update us on the happenings at the Pro Wrestling Star Academy and much more. STAY TUNED!!
