In this episode, the show returns with a bang for the new year, introducing Sean, AKA 'The Blind Referee,' as the new co-host. Together with their guest, wrestling dynamo Santino Martinez, they dive headfirst into the chaotic world of wrestling, both on and off the mat.
Santino shares his journey from amateur wrestling (where weight cuts were brutal and chicken sandwiches were the real MVP) to becoming a professional wrestler with a technical style of strategy and intensity. He also opens up about stepping into coaching to keep a struggling high school program alive—juggling tournament fundraising, reluctant parents, and eager teens who always want to take him down.
Expect side-splitting moments like Santino’s childhood beef with Freeman (who he did not like until they became friends) and his obsession with wrestling action figures that he couldn’t bring himself to buy until his partner saved the day. And let’s not forget the heartfelt highlights, like how becoming a dad pushed him to chase his pro wrestling dreams, making every move in the ring count.
With witty banter, candid stories, and smack talk, this episode is a must-listen for fans who love wrestling’s blend of grit, glory, and humor!"
