Radio Stakhanov

Award-winning comedy writer Marc Haynes has watched every single Wrestlemania. Broadcaster Pete Donaldson hasn’t.

A hilarious and surprisingly insightful look into some of the most preposterous, glamorous and over-the-top sporting events the world has ever seen – from Hulk Hogan and Mr T at Madison Square Garden way back in 1985 to Roman Reigns and The Undertaker going head-to-head in April 2017 – Wrestle Me is a must-listen accompaniment to The Grandest Stage of Them All. Say your prayers, take your vitamins and pop your human growth hormone while it's still technically legal. It's Wrestle Me! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WRESTLE ME LIVES!

11/11/2021
ONE MORE MATCH! Wrestle Me, as we know it...is over. But in the very *spirit* of sports entertainment retirement, we're simply going to wait a few days, clear out our motel room of whiskey bottles and resurface in another territory! So here's what's happening. We're going to be continuing the show you love, Wrestle Me *exclusively* over on Patreon. WWW.PATREON.COM/WRESTLEME baby! And we're switching things up. No longer are we going to just concentrate on good Wrestlemanias past, and terrible Wrestlemanias present - we're going to be taking a look at wrestling from all eras, all the time. We're going to be kicking off with AEW's Full Gear 2021, along with King Of The Ring 1993. Then we're straight into good old Wrestle Me-mas! January? Royal Rumble and Wrestle Kingdom - alongside some of your favourite ECW, WWF, WWWWF, Impact and TNA PPVs. And all the other federations that recorded their master tapes on wax cylinders. We're also going to be reviewing films and albums, too! So tell us about your favourites now... Will our comeback be HBK at Summerslam, or Warrior in Barcelona? Only time will tell... WWW.PATREON.COM/WRESTLEME - what the world has come to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Hollow Men (of wrestling) - Wrestlemania 36 Part 8

9/2/2021
Pete and Marc, after what seems like aeons in and out of the studio, finally finish their takedown of Wrestlemania 36. And they bloody loved the Firefly Funhouse match, even though neither of them can actually say it properly... They got a bit excited when they realised they were nearing an hour of recording time so tried to fill the last minute with screaming so they could have a nice round number, forgetting that they'd have to add adverts later, bumping it way over that timecode. Idiots. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
