This past week has been nothing short of extraordinary if you’re a fan of professional wrestling. With WrestleMania emanating from Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday and Sunday, the entire world of professional wrestling had its eyes centered on the city of Philadelphia for the entire week. Independent promotions running shows (inside arenas and outside on South Street), WWE’s Hall of Fame ceremony and two flagship television shows bookending the week that was as WrestleMania SmackDown took the air Friday night and Raw sealed it on Monday night, WWE World from the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Thursday through Monday, and a lot more.
Yours truly, along with Vaughn Johnson, Jason Fanelli, and Mark Henry Jr. were all there to take part in the festivities.
Listen to the folks talk all about it on the latest episode of The Straight Shooters.
