The One with Lewis Nicholls
from The LGBT Sport Podcast · host BBC Radio Cornwall
It's fair to say pro-wrestling is one of the more unique forms of sports entertainment out there. The villains pride themselves on being hated, the heroes do their best to get the crowd behind them - and even though the outcomes of the matches are pre-determined, they still involved real physical skill and strength from everyone involved. It's something Lewis Nicholls has loved from a young age – and now he makes his living from it, both as the on-screen general manager for the UK’s Evolution Wrestling and as an interviewer with his own social media channel, carrying out in-depth conversations with people from inside the industry. There’s loads to enjoy in this conversation – from how wrestling has welcomed him with open arms; how it has evolved to become one of the more inclusive forms of sports entertainment; what it takes to be a good ‘bad guy’ in wrestling; interviewing your heroes; and what makes a brilliant wrestling match/ moment.So, even if wrestling isn’t your thing, we recommend you stick with this one – because we think you’ll find it really, really interesting, and we’re massively grateful Lewis took the time to join us for it.
