Episode 35: Pro-Wrestling and The Rise of AEW with Special Guest Paul Crockett of Beyond Wrestling and a TFG Fan Roundtable

On this special episode of The Fanboy Garage, we go “all in” to take on the world of pro-wrestling with an in-depth look at the emergence and significance of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with special guest Paul Crocket, the voice of Beyond Wrestling and Women's Wrestling Revolution and the co-host of The Foreign Aces podcast. From contract signings, new talent opportunities, to potential pitfalls, competition with New Japan, Ring of Honor and the WWE and more, we cover all the ins and outs of how the AEW can stay ahead of curve and become the successful brand it hopes to be. We also speculate on how the AEW could approach its programming options and live events as it builds momentum. To close the segment, we have a quick chat and discussion about StarTrek and the future of the franchise. In a first ever fatal four-way, we bring on listeners Nathan, Phil, and Tavo to discuss their love of pro-wrestling, their thoughts on the industry and the introduction of the AEW to the landscape. In the discussion, we talk about the broader indie scene and what’s getting everyone excited about the AEW. From talent to format, the “fatal-four” dive in to all the great elements that make the AEW stand out from competitors like the WWE and more!
