-Pro Wrestling Boom Live returns today at 1CT/2ET. Guest co-host Sean Plichta (filling in for Jonny Fairplay) and I will be taking your calls coming out of AEW Forbidden and will look ahead to WWE Money in the Bank at PWAudio.net. All pro wrestling current events topics are open for discussion. If you can’t call into the show, you are welcome to send pro wrestling related questions to dotnetjason@gmail.com.
