Squared Circle Pit #18 - METAL HAMMER Editor Merl Alderslade Talks Awarding Triple H The Spirit of Lemmy Award

I'm back after a short hiatus of traveling with an all new Squared Circle Pit. This week I talk to Metal Hammer editor Merl Alderslade, who was one of the early pioneers of the WrestleMetal connection, an inspiration for this very podcast. We talk about Metal Hammer's past dealing with wrestlers, how he got Dave Mustaine to award Triple H the Metal Hammer "Spirit of Lemmy" award, and we get deep into predictions and fantasy booking for the upcoming three WWE PPVs, Elimination Chamber, Fastlane and WrestleMania. Merl also explains the difference between all the British wrestling promotions, including ICW, Progress, RevPro and more. A great chat as always!Check out previous Squared Circle Pit interviews about wrestling with Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Cannibal Corpse's George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, Jamey Jasta, Every Time I Die's Andy Williams, Zakk Wylde, Killswitch Engage's Mike D, Converge's Jacob Bannon, Neurosis' Scott Kelly, and more.Follow Squared Circle Pit on Facebook and Twitter.  Subscribe to Metal Injection podcasts on iTunes (please leave a rating/review as well), Google Play & Stitcher.
