Summary

In this week’s Interview Classic podcasts, we jump back to ten years ago this week (3-24-2016) when PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviewed Gabe Sapolsky discussing the burgeoning Evolve-WWE relationship, Evolve live events WrestleMania Weekend, the breaking news of Daniel Bryan pulling out of his upcoming WWE appearances, and his experiences with three different generations of indy wrestlers and how they have changed the last couple decades, how he is changing the style of wrestling he promotes, and much more – all mixed with live callers.

That is followed by Wade's interview with University of East West Alabama Journalism Professor Will Nevin – who is also a long-time PWTorch reader and pro wrestling fan – giving an expert perspective on the legal dynamics and First Amendment issues at play in the Hulk Hogan-Gawker lawsuit. This show includes live callers.
