John Pollock and Wai Ting recount their uniquely memorable experience attending GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2 from Mania Weekend 2018, featuring Joey Janela vs. Great Sasuke, and WALTER vs. PCO. They discuss:
- The distinctive appeal of Spring Break as a Mania Weekend mainstay
- The legend of WALTER vs PCO
- The absurdity of the Clusterfuck Battle Royal featuring MJF, The Invisible Man, Nate Webb’s Wheatus entrance, and “Bryan Skyline”
- Louisiana’s controversial “piledriver ban” for events during Mania 34 Weekend
- The hallucinogenic feeling of being live in the arena watching The Great Sasuke sing “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi at 4 in the morning
This episode was brought to you by Espresso Executive Producer, Tyler Crane.
