The NXT Wrestling Fan


Aug 21, 2021

We've done it. We're here. It's time to cover the very first NXT Takeover. And to do that, we have a double-sized episode for you (for real) and a returning guest host in form of the amazingly talented and wrestling-curious Dan Mulkerin of Garden Plots with Skeletor. We talk about a lot of different stuff on this episode, y'all. Subjects include (but are not limited to):

  • What Dan's gimmick would be as a wrestler
  • Camacho's future (and more importantly, his pants)
  • A series of bizarre choices related to El Local
  • Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze achieve their finals forms
  • Miles reads an op-ed about United States foreign policy that he wrote in college (no, really, he reads the whole thing, it's awful)
  • The incredible women's championship match, and what it meant to both pro wrestling and Ric Flair
  • Tyson Kidd's match-long heel turn
  • Danhausen, explained (or, what Dan's gimmick would be as a wrestler)

Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle" and it was created by the uniquely talented Rafael Medina, whose work you can and should follow via his Twitter account, @EarthMeauxFaux! You can also follow Miles @mjschneiderman, MeganBob @meganbobness, and the show itself @nxtwrestlingfan. And if you'd like to support the show, check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/nxtwrestlingfan.
