Get ready for a special episode of When It Was Real that flips the spotlight from the titans of the ring to the often-overlooked heroes of the squared circle. This Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern, noted WWWF historian, author, actor, and manager Nikita Breznikov, alongside veteran wrestling author and podcaster Benny "The Playa" Scala, return with a heartfelt tribute to the underdogs of the golden era. While past episodes have celebrated legendary figures like Chief Jay Strongbow, Ernie Ladd, Spiros Arion, and Superstar Billy Graham, this time, it's all about the men who made them look larger than life. Tune in as Nikita and Benny shine a long-overdue light on the likes of Sylvano Sousa, The Golden Terror, Frankie Williams, and “The Continental Nobleman” Joe Turco. They may not have worn gold around their waists, but their contribution to the WWWF legacy is undeniable. With stories, insights, and vintage memories, Nikita and Benny will give these unsung warriors their rightful moment in the sun. Don’t miss this episode—it’s a love letter to the backbone of professional wrestling: the journeymen, the enhancement talents, the consummate professionals who made it real. #whenitwasreal #wwwf #wwf #goldeneraofwrestling

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
