Hammerlock Hangover

Join Steve and Jeff, two life long wrestling fans, as they discuss all the wrestling highlights and lowlights of the week. They also provide the news from around the world of wrestling, including breakdowns of ratings and trends. This show also provides unique deep dives into the legal and financial aspects of wrestling, including contracts, intellectual property, and legal disputes. The Garden of Doom is definitely not a wrestling show, nor is it easy to describe. Whatever Jeff finds interesting, he explores. This ranges from the paranormal to hard science to pop culture. Guests include Hollywood big shots, world champion martial artists, clergy, alternative theorists, and podcasters from around the world. There’s a special obsession with pan cultural commonalities, current and from the distant past.
