Episode 75 - Gatekeeping in Wrestling

We're back with this pre-holiday weekend show. Although there won't be much live wrestling this weekend as we all celebrate our nation's independence, there's plenty to discuss in the world of wrestling right now.    We begin the show with RPW's Rich Buchholtz who recaps what happened at his first collaboration show with No Regrets Wrestling this past weekend and previews Destiny VI coming up in September. After that, we loop Rich in on the conversation that started last week with just Bob and Jon regarding gatekeeping in the world of independent wrestling. This topic will not stop after we get Rich's thoughts, and we encourage anyone with strong opinions on the subject (on either side of the argument) to reach out to us and come on the show!    In our News and Notes Segment, Bob and Jon discuss: • Colby Corino's return • GCW to MyAew? • Mystery Wrestling's 22 hour Royal Rumble • Judy Lee Taylor's accomplishments outside of wrestling • A new Men's WWE ID Champion • A new EPW Champion • Haley J's harrowing ordeal at GCW vs Joey Janela • Eran Ashe falls; AKIRA rises in CZW • Nick Hamrick's viral incident After that we review Rad Pro Rasslin "My Own Prison" from June 20 (now available on IWTV). This was Jon's first exposure to Rad Pro's unique presentation and I think he loved it. Listen as we review the whole show. The card: • Donald Farren vs Lynx Panther • Katarina Montibello vs Lillium • King's Court vs The Midnight Expresso vs Alright Young Man! vs The Lovetts • Lux Virgo vs Dennis • Karak vs PJ Cruzz • Darvaza vs Max Finally, since there is very little wrestling action happening across the country, we ditched the Control Center in favor of an IWX Watch This watch-along. We watch two matches from DAWG Pro Wrestling's event on June 14: • Marvelous vs Nick Battee • Vinny the Fixxer (c) vs Uncle Slam  DAWG is such a fun promotion that's worth a look if you're in the NJ area. If not, immerse yourself in the Dangerous Adrenaline Wrestling Gladiators with us!!
