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 Mazzaro.

It follows the events leading up to the tragic death of professional wrestler Ashley Mazzaro,

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 Mazzaro, only on audible.

Oh, hello there, don't mind me, I'm just using my built in binoculars to see who else is going

to return to WWE, because quite frankly it's becoming ridiculous. And look at me, do I look

like a ridiculous person? No. Hello my name is Simon from WhatCulture and it's just a joy,

is it not you sit down to watch professional wrestling in 2022 and anybody could literally turn

up, I was like oh maybe my grandmob will be here, she died a long time ago.

Otherwise though we did just have the season premiere of Raw, which never makes any sense,

but what does is taking the finger of power and giving the good bits an up and the bad bits an down.

Well I laughed at the start of Raw, I mean it was absolutely stupid, absolutely ridiculous and

it veered of course here and there, but sometimes you just want to enjoy some funny.

Because it was D generation X talking about their penises and wondering if they could talk about

their penises, but the best part is that Sean Woltman, Sean Michaels and the Road Dog were kind

of over here, that was Triple H, he was sat in the manager seat. So they were kind of just

poking and going, you're all corporate now and you can't have any fun with us.
