The C-Show Podcast

From The Great Kabuki to Julia Hart, we dive into the origins, the mystique, and the powers of the “asian mist” in wrestling. From its start in Japanese wrestlers stateside to modern iterations and current storylines in play, we talk about the history of mist in wrestling. On the other side, we talk about expanding factions in AEW plus Hotch and Ali wrap it up in TNA.
