I've talked up the Wrestling Culture Podcast a lot on here, and for good reason. It's one of the damn finest shows about wrestling out there. Dylan Hales and Dave Musgrave tend to go long, but it doesn't feel long because they're usually edifying and entertaining. Episode 35 of the show, however, is probably the best one yet, or at the very worst the best one since the episode where they had Vandal Drummond on to talk about the best arcane gimmicks ever.
Dylan and Dave welcome Will and Charles from the Pro Wrestling Only message board for a roundtable discussion. Dave moderates, and each of the other three take up their personal candidates for best ever. Will champions Jerry Lawler, Charles holds up Ric Flair, and Dylan presents the case for Terry Funk. It's a fascinating look at all three men's careers and an honest, thorough comparison of the three and their places in the wrestling pantheon without resorting to mudslinging. When I say this is a must listen, you had better believe it's a must listen. It's 2:40:17 of enriching wrestling historical perspective.
