ClobberCast
An amateur podcast about professional wrestling.

Calvin Hansen, Toben Shelby, and Stevo

Three friends gather on an irregular basis to casually discuss and dissect simulated violence as storytelling in its many forms around the world. WWE, NJPW, PWG, Lucha Underground, Stardom, ROH, CMLL, and whatever else catches our fancy. It ain't ballet, but it is amazing, stupid, hilarious, weird, confusing, and beautiful. It's professional wrestling, and there's nothing quite like it. Let's talk about it.

ClobberCast Episode 32: Just Doing It Again Usually Works

Wrestle Kingdom 11. Ethical wrestling consumption under fascism. Twitter beef. Sandwich chat. The hot new heel stable: Bullet Gun. Minoru Suzuki as an assassin sent to kill Vince McMahon. The longest boy I ever did see. Dustin Rhodes’ great burden. The Royal Rumble. Would you smoke weed with Necro Butcher? They put Chris Jericho in a shark cage. FBI, all of this is a joke.
