Shaz and Morro are back as The Old Bucks for a listener-suggested episode, with today’s topic coming straight from Oisín McCarthy in the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord.The lads take on a deceptively difficult question: if someone had never watched wrestling before, what match would you show them first? Do you go straight for spectacle and shock with The Undertaker vs Mick Foley inside Hell in a Cell, or WrestleMania’s TLC 2? Is there still magic in larger-than-life moments like Hogan vs Warrior at WrestleMania VI? Or is the best entry point something more grounded, like Flair vs Steamboat from the 80s?They also ask whether a John Cena match works as an introduction, how much context matters, and whether modern wrestling makes it harder or easier to hook new fans. A deep, thoughtful discussion that says a lot about what different people value in wrestling.If you want to get involved in future topics and debates, join us over on the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for ongoing wrestling chat.
