VIP AUDIO 3/17 – Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise: Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a look at the history of professional wrestling and Ireland (74 min)

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L does something a little different to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! 24 hours after the biggest wrestling match of the modern era on Irish soil, Alan looks back at the relationship between Professional Wrestling and his country throughout history. In 1936 it was Danno O’Mahoney who was Ireland’s pro wrestling hero, and now in 2019 we have Becky Lynch and Jordan Devlin. But in between there was a lot of emptiness. Alan examines how the ups and downs of the American and British wrestling industries affected Ireland, the waves of popularity over the years, and the rise of OTT helping to create a thriving scene at the independent level in this country.
