Derek is joined by longtime friend, and the greatest unsigned talent on the pro wrestling scene today, Greek God Papadon.
The boys take some time to pay tribute to Papadon's late tag team partner Havok (Ed Toscano), and then kick into gear to discuss the current state of the pro wrestling industry. Derek attempts to get to the root of the mystery, as to why Papadon has yet to be signed by a major promotion - after years of working with the best talents and capturing championships around the world.
For those familiar with Papadon's recent social media rants to the "Citizens of Leg Slap City", he gives his perspective as to why those "Wrestling Service Announcements" are warranted, while Derek provides some constructive criticism, while sharing their passion and their disappointments with the business as we know it today.
The conversation then shifts to their mutual love for pop culture and cinema, as Derek and Papadon rundown some of the content they've recently consumed during the ongoing pandemic...and an explanation to what happened to his Conspiracy Horsemen podcast. Can you dig it?!?!
