Is Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat the Greatest Trilogy Ever?

To anyone who still subscribes to this podcast: first, I'm sorry. I've neglected something that used to bring me so much joy, and I want to change that. I'm ready to run this show back and get into a regular routine again. To everyone who has emailed me or sent DMs on social media, I see you and hear you, and I appreciate you sticking around. I can't promise we'll be reviewing wrestling every single week, but I do have plenty of thoughts bouncing around in my head that I'd like to work through here. And to kick things back off, the Gym Dad himself, the Bald Father, Bald Steve, is back! This time, we're talking about why he believes Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat may be the greatest trilogy in the history of professional wrestling. Thanks for sticking with me. Let's get this thing rolling again.

PED Culture & the Pressure Behind Pro Wrestling Bodies

What started as a conversation about something completely different quickly turned into a deeper discussion about PED Culture & the Pressure Behind Pro Wrestling Bodies. Bald Steve, aka the Gym Dad, aka the Bald Father, opens up about his own PED use and the physical and mental effects that come with it. The conversation also looks at the pressure to achieve an idealized physique in professional wrestling, the expectations placed on performers, and the psychological toll that can come with chasing that image.
