by The MxL Swapcast Network
This is the MXL SwapCast Network, a series of DIY podcasts about Wrestling. Starting out as Dave @ The Wrestling, the random musings of an chap called Dave, said eloquent idiot joined forces with Iwan to form MXL SwapCast, which took the world by light drizzle in 2019. After 18 episodes, a few specials and other random bollocks, MXL ceased in June 2020 following general pessimism in the wrestling world making a generally bright podcast like theirs rather grim and full of despair. MXL returned to the air in February 2023, with the launch of Series 2. #TheGraps #BritWres #MXLSwapCast
