Best of WOL: Josh Mathews, Brody King, Dave Meltzer

On an free Easter edition of the Best of Wrestling Observer Live, catch up with any of the interviews you missed from the universe’s most-widely heard episodic wrestling and MMA show, hosted by Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive.

We kick off with Dave Meltzer (Thursday) discussing Ronda Rousey’s issues with two televised ESPN interviews and why he thinks it wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be, the possibility of Randy Orton getting into the Hall of Fame someday, and whether Hulk Hogan and WWE are a thing again.

We transition to Impact Wrestling’s Josh Mathews who discusses the company’s relationship with Twitch, the changes within the company, and what’s new with him.

We move to regular guest “Dr. Lucha” Steve Sims who gives his thoughts on the passing of website friend Matt Cleary, Lucha Underground’s lack of buzz, Mesias leaving AAA after two decades, and more news.

Finally, we close it out with independent wrestler Brody King. He discusses his start in the business, his band, the similarities between the two, and what the latest is with his career.

Enjoy this free Best of Wrestling Observer Live and tune in every Monday-Friday and Sunday via this website or the Sports Byline radio network.
