Proving that people can be nerds about literally ANYTHING, Jeremy & Nick are joined this week by our friend, Stevie Price, to discuss professional wrestling and the hypermasculine soap opera that is World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Listen in as Stephen educates us about the action, the drama, the scriptedness, and (some of) the controversy surrounding this “sport” - it’s a wild ride! And, as always, don’t forget to follow Looking4Nerds on Twitter and Instagram for all the latest podcast news!
*TRIGGER WARNING: One of the scripted storylines discussed in this podcast episode involves a miscairrage. (Jeremy finds it very upsetting and has heated thoughts to share about it.) Please protect your mental health, nerd friends!
