Summary

Professional wrestling and politics have more in common than you think. It's not enough for wrestlers and politicians to be themselves, they need to put on a show and connect with the crowd in order to win in the ring…or on the campaign trail. Roy Wood Jr. sat with WWE superstar, LA Knight, and host of the “Cheap Heat” podcast, Peter Rosenburg to break down the connections between these two worlds and take a deeper dive into Knight’s preparation for this past April’s WrestleMania 39. Original Air Date: March 28, 2023 Beyond the Scenes is a podcast from The Daily Show.
