| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is another bonus Friday episode. I'm excited to share this |
| 0:08.1 | with you guys. I was going to be releasing this in a few weeks, but I've got so many podcasts |
| 0:12.9 | at the moment and the wrestling world moved so quickly. I thought I'd move this forward so that |
| 0:18.0 | it's still relevant. Let me explain what's going on. I'd chatted to Russell from Block Party |
| 0:25.1 | and Sam from GetWareCateFly and my mates too and all of us are big wrestling fans and I wanted |
| 0:32.0 | to do around table about why we love wrestling. It's called Why I Love Wrestling and I wanted to |
| 0:39.6 | time it August kind of time ahead of Jim's moment, host of Choosing Night Joer on the Distraction |
| 0:47.8 | Pieces Network, because I've got a wrestling book coming out on August 23rd called I'm Sorry I Love |
| 0:52.8 | a History of Professional Wrestling and at the moment it's looking like it's going to be a |

| 1:15.8 | the reason for the timing is that on September 30th a progress wrestling have got a wrestling event |
| 1:22.8 | that could end up being the biggest independent wrestling event ever in the UK and that's insane. |
| 1:29.8 | They're at Wembley Arena and Wembley is kind of an expandable capacity so it's one of them where |
| 1:36.1 | regardless of what they sell it will feel rammed and the atmosphere will be iconic. I mean we're |
| 1:42.4 | talking the podcast about the legendary atmospheres of progress wrestling, but if they can get |
| 1:48.2 | enough people there it will be record breaking and it feels really exciting. So yeah that's kind |
| 1:53.7 | of the reason for the timing of this. If you've ever been a wrestling fan I urge you to grab a ticket |
| 2:01.6 | for progress wrestling at Wembley on September 30th because it's going to be amazing, it's going to be |
| 2:08.1 | yeah an emotional time and it's the best wrestling in the world as we go into here. But before we |
| 2:13.4 | get into all of that I'll mention briefly that we're brought to you as ever by speechdevelopment |
