Episode 032—Tusslin’ is Instinct (feat. DJ Rip)

It's an action-packed, super-sized, season finale on the history of wrestling! We drag our friend and yours, DJ Rip, back on the mic and surprise him with today's topic, as we explore some of the greco-roman roots of modern wrestling and various other styles and regions of folk wrestling, before throwing it to Rip to guide us through WWF / pro-wrestling history COMPLETELY FROM HIS MEMORY.
