James and I talk about how his fandom(s) started and have intermingled, the absence of crowds during football matches as well as wrestling matches, the introduction of AEW into the scene and how James has viewed Tony Khan&#8217;s ownership, the Wengerian &#8220;Beauty is when life meets art&#8221; quote and how that can be applied to wrestling, and how James&#8217; grandfather brought him into both the worlds of wrestling and boxing. We finish up talking a bit about James&#8217; former comedy troupe Beasts, his ties to Ted Lasso and Green Machine, and his ideal wrestling persona if he&#8217;d stepped into the squared circle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE VERSION: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/user\/pwtorch\/20201128freedd\">AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>AD-FREE VIP VERSION:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2020\/11\/20201128ADFREEDD.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
