Sometimes wrestling is about matches, championships and arguing over booking. And sometimes, it’s about the people this ridiculous thing brings into our lives.
Blade Daily is joined by special guest host Zerpie, renowned wrestling figure photographer and co-host of The BubbaCast, to discuss the extraordinarily emotional AEW Dynamite: Rebel Heart.
We celebrate the return of Britt Baker and Rebel together—the Waiting Room, “Reba,” the Roll Model and an unforgettable ride up the ramp—and discuss why their friendship made the night simultaneously hilarious, heartbreaking and joyful.
We also remember Andy “The Butcher” Williams and reflect on Excalibur’s tearful tribute to his friend, the enormous outpouring of love for Butcher, and what AEW rallying around Rebel and Andy's memory says about the community behind the television show.
Plus, we get to know Zerpie! We talk The BubbaCast, his adventures revisiting the career of Ray Traylor with Big Boss Man's daughter Lacy, wrestling figure photography, collecting, and the completely reasonable amount of money grown adults spend on tiny plastic wrestlers.
It's wrestling, friendship, grief, laughter, nostalgia and toys.
Sometimes it’s more than wrestling.
Sit Down. Shut Up. Mark Out.
