Show Notes
A slightly different podcast this week.
With Morro laid up in hospital and the other lads away galavanting, Shane sits down with Kilkenny councillor Maurice Shortall to discuss his call for the Irish government to explore the possibility of bringing WrestleMania to Ireland.
The discussion looks at why Maurice believes a WrestleMania event could be a major opportunity for Irish tourism and the wider economy, and whether Ireland could realistically position itself to host one of the biggest events in entertainment.
The original story, broken by Shane for KCLR , was picked up internationally by outlets including Sports Illustrated and much of the wrestling media, although often without credit to the original reporting.
Shane also puts forward questions submitted by listeners through the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord, including the obvious one: could WrestleMania genuinely happen in Ireland?
Side note: the recording was repeatedly interrupted by internet issues, so the audio quality is rough in places, but hopefully the conversation is still worth hearing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
