Earning The Push
Earning The Push is a weekly show for wrestling fans to do the two things they love - talk about the business, and about what they would do if they were in charge. Broadcaster Jack Murley and professional rugby player Charlie Beckett will be analysing what’s happening across the wrestling world, and getting you involved with the fantasy booking of angles from the past, present and future. It’s a show that’s open to everyone - and we want you to get involved. TWITTER: @charlie_beckett @jack_murley EMAIL: earningthepushpodcast@hotmail.com
