As we mentioned last week, we had a little surprise for this one: the return of podcasting to the How Wrestling Explains feed in the form of Phi and Nick Explain Wrestling … to Each Other.
Every episode, we’ll each pick one match from wrestling history, presumably as a way to work out feelings about their childhood and the neverending creep of time. Or, like, talk about how much fun it is to see people beat each other up.
For this inaugural episode, we break down a BattlARTS tag team match featuring Yuki Ishikawa & Alexander Otsuka vs. Carl Greco & Daisuke Ikeda from April of 1998 (Phil’s pick) and WrestleMania I’s main event between Mr. T and Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper (Nick’s).
