Posted on by Garrett Gonzales

I am doing double duty this week hosting Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer until Bryan Alvarez is back from vacation. Because of that, I couldn’t record my normal podcast with John LaRocca. So instead, I pre-recorded interviews with John, Denise Salcedo, Lance Storm, Bryan Alvarez (before he left), and Dave Meltzer for the show.

I asked them all three questions and there’s a small holiday theme.
