DDT Wrestling
853 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 22 ratingsA long time ago, in the distant era of 2015, DC Matthews and Doc Manson began a podcast about professional wrestling. Then, sometime over the course of the last few hundred episodes, the show became about so much more. Life, community, and finding your happy. DDT Wrestling is ostensibly a podcast about wrestling (sometimes), but with a healthy dose of personality and humor. It's a veritable variety show of auditory goodness. Won't you be our bestie?
