When your interest in something (in this case wrestling) is escapism, what do you do when some of the elements you want to escape from remain? To answer that question this week I have Chris Maitland back to talk about his journey in wrestling, why he as a fan stepped away, why he came back, and what issues remain while he watches. The purpose of this series is to put a light on some issues that fans may miss that fellow fans watching might not miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE VERSION: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/user\/pwtorch\/20200829freedd\">AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>AD-FREE VIP VERSION:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2020\/08\/20200829ADFREEDD.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
