After the Show: From R-Truth to Real Talk
Manage episode 508317044 series 3254731
What happens when the show ends but the conversation keeps going? After the Show is where things get unfiltered—and this time it all started with our main episode, “WWE Wasted the Biggest Star of 2025: R-Truth.”
In this special bonus episode, me and Jess Thee Yaptain drop the rundown and talk freely about everything from R-Truth’s legacy to women in wrestling, confidence in and out of the ring, and why building community around this podcast matters. It’s wrestling talk, but it’s also life talk—the kind you only get when the cameras are supposed to be off.
Think of it as the hangout after the main event: raw, real, and open to you, the fans.
