  • Entertaining New Wrestling Podcast

    The Grapple City Rewind is an entertaining look back at “old school” wrestling or wrasslin! I enjoy the dichotomy of a somewhat cynical Palermo and a very upbeat Fink. Give the podcast a chance and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Keep it up guys!
