My first interview with an actual professional wrestler! "Timeless" Levi Shapiro is tearing it up on the indie scene right now, currently the APW Internet Champion, and he stopped by the pod to talk about the state of indie wrestling and to count down our top 5 wrestlers from the 1980s. Levi is actually an old friend. We came up together in the same music scene of the early aughts, he was a constant at the great old L3 shows. We spent some time sharing memories from that period of our lives, reminiscing about some of our old friends and bands. We also talked a lot of wrestling in general. It was fascinating hearing from an actual worker from the business, a little "inside baseball" if you will. Hear about how Covid is affecting the wrestling industry, and about how Levi broke into the business, and a little history between him and his manager Brian Zane.Then we got to our list. I really enjoyed talking 1980s horror movies, so I decided to make that an ongoing theme for awhile. Let's talk 80s! Levi's character is that of an old school wrestler, like a throwback to the 80s, so he was the perfect guy to have on for this list.Check out "Timeless" Levi Shapiro on Twitter (@LeviShapiro) & Instagram (@levishapiro), and his webstore (https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/wrestler-t-shirts/theloop.html).
