Hello and welcome to another Whatculture Wrestling Podcast.

Before we get into it though, this podcast is brought to you by Ashley versus WWE, the

story of wrestler Ashley Masaro.

If all is the event leading up to the tragic death of professional wrestler Ashley Masaro,

who took her own life in 2019 after making allegations of abuse against WWE.

Now we all remember her as a fan favourite WWE Diva, but this fantastic, audible original

podcast tells her story, gives Ashley a voice and highlights mental health issues and the

me too movement.

It's an audible original podcast that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

Check it out, subscription required, see audible.co.uk for terms, listen now to Ashley versus

WWE, the story of wrestler Ashley Masaro, only on audible.

Now I don't know if you knew this about me, but on top of being Whatculture Wrestling's

presenter extraordinaire, I'm also a little bit of an actor.

So the fact that I do dabble in the old world of performing, being a thespian, a little

bit of Shakespeare every now and again, does mean that I know a thing or two about the

casting process.

If you get it wrong, then there's a good chance that even if you've got an incredible

script, or this fantastic CGI, the people at home watching the films that TV shows

whatever they are, just aren't really going to connect with the material, but if you get

it right, even the worst script, the worst special effects can all be forgiven because

nobody can deny, undeniable, chemistry between an actor and a character when they come

together.
