Episode 92: Simon Grimm (a.k.a. Simon Gotch) advises against advice in wrestling

Episode 92

24th May 2018

Hal, Mike and Danielle are joined by Simon Grimm (a.k.a. Simon Gotch) to learn more about Grimm’s experience in WWE, how the indie wrestling scene has changed over the years and why he doesn’t believe in advice for wrestling.

Episode notes

Simon Grimm is ready to join the Nation of Conversation!

Grimm formerly wrestled for WWE under the name Simon Gotch. There he was a member of the NXT Tag-team champion Vaudvillains. From there, he made his way to the Smackdown live main roster along with his partner, Aiden English.

Then he was let go by the WWE, a decision he says he couldn’t be happier about. Why? Because the independent wrestling scene is thriving. And Grimm sees tons of talented wrestlers that he can’t wait to work with.

Grimm will tell Hal, Mike and Danielle all about what it’s like to transition to the indies after being in the WWE, why he doesn’t believe in giving advice to wrestlers and he’ll even discuss what he thinks about that, “Bobby Lashley’s sisters” segment that was on Monday Night RAW this week.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford , and Simon Grimm.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
