  • Summary

  • We are the best in the world at what we do and whatcha gonna do when Debut Buddies Mania runs wild on you!? On this episode, we discuss what could, debatably, be the First Professional Wrestling Match (especially for Pro Wrestling as we know it today). We dig into some early history, then tackle the slobberknocker that was two bouts between Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt... plus so much more! Don't miss the MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There, too!
