Episode notes
Wrestling is overtly incredibly fascinating as we’ve always known on Tights and Fights!
Alex Schmidt is one of the hosts of the MaxFun podcasts “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating.” Recently they had a podcast breaking down the history of wrestling as an actual competition. So naturally we had to invite him on to teach him about the flip side: Cut the kayfabe!
Main Event
On “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating,” Alex and his co-host Katie Schmidt broke down the history of Sumo wrestling. And one thing about sumo is that Vince McMahon would happily find a way to represent the competition in some really great and really awful ways.
