The Art of Wrestling

The Art of Wrestling podcast, done weekly by professional wrestler Colt Cabana, has become a Thursday morning must listen. We came to the party late and have been catching up listening to past episodes, which date back to July 2010, ever since my first download of the show.

Colt interviews and discusses wrestling with his friends from the business. The interview style is great because it flows like a story, taking the listeners on a journey of the highs and lows of the names in the industry. Some of the best episodes however come from guests you may have never heard of. Road stories, the joys, the struggles…everyone has them and they are all different.

Episode 102 features Truth Martini which has become one of our favorites. Such an interesting guy and the episode covers gambling to a near death experience with a crazy chick (a bit of an adult content story). When listening, you forget this is a wrestling podcast, and that is what makes it so great.

Now don't get us wrong, we know the lesser known guests won't be for everyone, but that is OK because Colt has talked with the likes of CM Punk (his best bud), Mick Foley, Iron Sheik and Dolph Ziggler to name a few. Zack Ryder does an episode showcasing what a mark he is and confesses his affection for wrestling figures. Joining late has given us a chance to hear some of his guests being interviewed before they really popped (see Ep 20 with Austin Aries or Ep 68 with Daniel Bryan). That illustrates how well Colt's finger is on the pulse of the wrestling industry. There is a huge world of professional wrestling that lies outside from what you see on TV on WWE or TNA. Colt and many other independents travel all over the country and world to do what they love. You get some international flavor hearing of travels to Japan, trying to get across the Canadian border or having a war zone outside your hotel in Mexico.

The podcast is free and we recommend subscribing on iTunes (set it and forget it). For more information, check out www.welovecolt.com and support Colt so he can continue to put out the Art of Wrestling podcast.
