A cornucopia of the MXL lads review the latest Purpose Wrestling event, "Guerrilla Radio", featuring Nino Bryant challenging Jordon Breaks for the Purpose Wrestling Championship, the zenith of HATCHAMANIA as the one and only Chris Hatch competed in his first ever match against the new king of RevPro, Michael Oku! Plu...

"Do you remember me? No!" Welcome to the Main Stage - a podcast that definitely enjoys the smell of its own farts too much...  It's time for the June Main Stage, and Dave and Iwan are here alongside Ashleigh Clements  and the debuting Adam Lewis (he definitely passed the audition with flying colours!) to talk a load of shit, and maybe some wrestling too. To start, the lads talk miscell...

Iwan flies solo this time round, and shoots the breeze about not one, but TWO shows! And as the month of June is Pride Month, it's perhaps appropriate that two events showcasing LGBTQ+ talent are what's been discussed.

After the smartarse idea of originally recording this on the Noisy/Northern Line went as well as a wet fart in church, Iwan joins forces with Our Leighton on the way home from London Bridge to chat about Elite Wrestling Entertainment's second Bank Holiday Monday show this month, live from the Bedford in Balham. While a Super, Strong Style-style tournament concluded up the Northern Line in Camd...
