Andrew and Wen talk with writer and comedian Brandon Scott Wolf (SNL's Weekend Update, Best Time Ever, Westbrook Media) about the history of wrestling! From the rules and nudity in Greek wrestling, to carnies and barnstormers, to where it all went wrong in the Monday Night Wars!
Wen and Andrew are joined by Brandon Scott Wolf to trace the entire history of wrestling! They dig deep into the first Olympic games to learn why the Greeks actually fought oiled up and naked, and then trace wrestling's whole timeline through the carnival circuit and the very first arranged fights. And finally end up in the modern era with the Monday Night Wars, and break down how the WWF and WCW fought it out to finally become the WWE!
