PODCAST

The Abdominal Stretch

Deeper Issues Nerd-Cast

The pro-wrestling podcast that tries to keep up with all the shows, storylines, returns, heel turns, face turns, work shoots, shoot works, and surprise debuts, but usually just ends up yelling a lot. While we may not cover everything, we’ll definitely overreact to the stuff we did manage to watch. Kayfabe? Broken. Logic? Optional. Wrestling? Always.Hosted by @NathanHaskill @Pumps61 and Pablo Romero-Estevez of @DeeperIssuesNerdCast
