for episode 96, I’ve taken a slight detour — shortly after the one hour mark, there’s a lengthy interview with Max Meehan and Justin Bissonette the curatorial minds behind Austin independent wrestling company Inspire A.D. (FKA Inspire Pro) It would take several hours to properly detail these individuals’ accomplishments as developers of talent so instead I just glossed over it. You think Ricky Starks, Keith Lee, Thunder Rosa, Sammy Guevara and countless others just became the toasts of national television without years of foundation-forming? These guys are the (fucking) foundation formers, or 2 of them, at least. On the precipice of Inspire A.D.’s Wrestlemania Weekend debut this Saturday in Arlington TX (see fig. 2), Max and Biss break down the card for what should be one of their most pivotal events.

Prior to and after the interview, there’s the usual mix of music and recriminations, so don’t worry. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HATE CHANGE.
