Ya got a Vince McMahon in yer machine dere. . .

On the noble quest to podcast more than anyone has ever podcast before Josh Boerman (Worst Of All Possible Worlds, Ill Conceived) joins us to teach us how to say Deus Ex and what is and isn’t an Immersive Sim.

In return we expose him to the world of Professional Wrestling the safest way possible, small controlled doses with a spoonful of Gay Jokes.


Ella Tailor (Wednesday Night Fake Fights) has a Theory of Everything

Bugs Maytrix (Podatag Podcast, Attic Magic) has a Magic Card for Everything.

Together we are going to prove that Everything is Wrestling.
