Show Notes
Shaz and Gherkins are back in the Gorilla Room discussing the disappearance of the larger-than-life gimmicks that once defined professional wrestling.
Where are the Earthquakes, Typhoons, Hawks, Animals, Smashes, Axes and Ultimate Warriors of today? Why does it feel like so many wrestlers now simply have a first name and surname? And seriously... what is a Mason Rook?
The lads look at whether wrestling has become too focused on presenting itself like a legitimate sport, despite the fact that professional wrestling has never really been one.
They also discuss Danhausen as one of the rare modern examples of a genuinely outrageous character, and ask whether the days of completely ridiculous wrestling gimmicks are gone for good.
Because we knew what a Vader was.
