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 unaudible.

just 10 wrestlers who didn't want to sign for WWE and why they didn't, I screwed it up again.

I love the first one or technically the tenth one because it is powerhouse will Hobbs

and this dude rocks and definitely would not fit into my head.

And I'm amazed that WWE didn't snap him up as soon as they saw it because he's massive,

but he did talk about this when he appeared on the AEW unrestricted podcast and there is

a little bit of a story.

Because he had the WWE tryout and was told there was nothing for him at the moment because

why would you want a man mountain in your predetermined and simulated sports league and then as soon

an opportunity.
