Grappling With Canada

We are back! A fresh new episode to kick off Season 4 of Grappling With Canada!

This month, Andy was joined by tremendous guests Benny Scala and Evan Ginzburg to discuss "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff!

We talk about his incredible career, the juxtaposition of being one of the most hated heels in history and being one of the nicest guys outside of the ring, the absolute travesty of not being included in the WWE HOF, and so much more!

Unbelievably, Season 3 of Grappling With Canada is coming to a close! In this special Live Stream episode, I discussed the state of the podcast, I answered some listener questions, laid out some teasers for Season 4, and much more!

Have a listen, follow the program, and we'll see you all in Season 4!

As we come to the close of 2023, I'm thrilled that folks have still continued to listen to the program! 2023 was most definitely a tough year (more on that very soon), but there are big plans for 2024.

Thank YOU for the continued support, and stay tuned VERY SOON for some breaking news!

Today is the national day of Truth and Reconciliation. Wrestling has always had deep ties to Indigenous culture and history, a topic that we've touched in previous episodes on Jack Taylor, Chief Don Eagle and my incredible interview with Billy Two Rivers (whom we lost earlier this year, RIP). It's also a topic I plan to explore more in depth in Season 4.

I hope Canadians will take a moment today and reflect on our relationship with our Indigenous peoples!

💣 New episode alert!💣

REMEMBERING 'THE BEARMAN' DAVE MCKIGNEY

Special guest Wes Maidment from the NWCA podcast joined me to discuss all things Dave McKigney!

From his early years, wrestling bears, criss-crossing Canada and the horrific tragedies, we cover a TON of ground!

Had a fantastic comment left on the YouTube page. I received some backlash for my Bob Sweetan episode HOWEVER- I presented the true and fullsome story, and getting feedback like this made it worth it

Thank you to everyone who listened and appreciated the hard work uncovering the true story!

Last night's preparation for today's team windup!

I'm doing a donation drive for the rest of March!

You may not be aware, but there are many raw costs associated with producing Grappling With Canada. I have some fun incentives to help take some weight off the shows shoulders!

If you find value in the content, information and history that we uncover each episode, please consider making a donation. The drive will end March 31!

Sad news to report. I was informed late yesterday that Billy Two Rivers has passed away. It was a great honor of mine to have interviewed him for an episode in Season 1 of the program. If you haven't listened to it, I would highly suggest it:

My condolences to his family and friends, may he rest easy.
