We're back again with something a little different. In our impromptu chat last week we spoke about conspiracies and in particular the Paul McCartney conspiracy that he's...well...dead!    This week we thought we'd get into more detail about it. Well Ethan did anyway. As well as looking at who really built the pyramids!    Let us know what you think of these episodes. We've really enjoyed recording them!    twitter.com/thelightspod

SATL - The Side Project - Conspiricies

Hello everyone.    We've not brought you a podcast for a while. The last one was a round up of the 2019 year in wrestling.    With the current global situation we find ourselves in as well as, lets be honest an underwhelming product to try and get excited and talk about we thought we'd bring something we recorded before all this craziness started.    This is just us having a chat about things we've done with ourselves.    In this episode we discuss playing in bands and a whole host of other stuff as well as running through Hunter. S. Thompsons daily routine!  0% wrestling content in this episode so you'll probably enjoy it more!    Let us know you thoughts on our twitter feed.  twitter.com/thelightspod   Thanks

But we knew he was going to be big anyway!    Here's the article to go with the episode on rgm.press  https://www.rgm.press/pro-wrestling-a-look-back-over-2019/sports/

This week Rob and Ethan watch the infamous Hollywood Hogan v The Rock at WrestleMania 18    Surprising we've only seen bits of this match before so it was great to watch it all the way through.  The crowd reaction to this match is amazing and is one of the great examples of an organic double turn. Hogan went into this match the heel but left a hero. So much so legend has it he flew from Toronto to Florida and back to pick up his famous Red and Yellow ring gear for the night after on Raw, all on Vince McMahons dime!    If you subscribe to WWE Network you can watch the match here.

Episode 29 - G1/Fight For The Fallen/Extreme Rules

This week is something a little different  We're joined by Mitch from Sheffield promotion Breed Wrestling. We talked about the links to the current British Wrestling scene and Sheffield music scene in the early 2000's  Breed are doing some great things at the minute especially with brining through new talent to prominence with their New Breed division which showcases talent under the age of 25.  This along with forward thinking shows like StarrCave (a wrestling show literally held in a cave) is making them one of the fastest rising wrestling promotions in the country.    We originally planned for this to be a special episode but were so happy with it that we decided to replace our regular show with this interview.    Head to @BreedWrestling on Twitter @BreedProWrestling on Facebook and breedwrestling.co.uk Check out their next show on Sunday 14th July at Hex in Sheffield https://www.tickettailor.com/events/breedprowrestling/273823/ Also their Independence show on the 31st of July with 5 other independent promotions as well as talks from David Starr and Equity   A great promotion doing great things.
