  • Awesome show

    Way of the Blade is such an amazing show. Phil is incredibly knowledgeable about wrestling. So it’s fun to listen to him and his guest break down matches from the book. But in the course of the podcast they will recommend other matches. It’s just a really fun show. Listen to it and pick up the book as well.

    I absolutely love hearing Phil speak on these matches and surrounding/adjacent matches and territories. I consider myself a die hard wrestling fan, but Phil teaches me a ton. He’s seen some amazing and obscure matches. And they’re so much fun to hear about. His book rocks, too.
