Wrestling Renegades
Through being fans for almost three decades, Zach and Paul have had their ups and downs with loving wrestling. Deciding to start a podcast and document their fandom, as well as look outside the confines of traditional WWE, seemed like a natural next step. Whether it's arguing over "business vs. storyline", having their friends throw in their two cents, or just generally having fun, Wrestling Renegades can be enjoyed by any fan of professional wrestling. Starting in 2019, frequent guest Pat Kasch joined as a rotating co-host, thus forming the basis for “Renegade Rules” in terms of who you may get as your hosts for any particular episode.

All the back in 1984, before WrestleMania, Monday Night Raw, or even the widespread of cable or pay-per-view, Vince McMahon appeared on TBS and brought what would later be dubbed "sports entertainment" to the southern rasslin' fans.
