Jake Scukobyte

Alone in the basement

Hey everybody! For this episode we talk to one of the more involved names in the Ukrainian wrestling scene, Jake Scukobyte! Listen as Jake tells us about how he discovered pro wrestling on a bootleg vhs tape, and how he found WCW’s Nitro on in the middle of the night on Ukrainian television. What made him want to be a pro wrestler. How backyard wrestling in Ukraine got its footing and how it grew from there. How pro wrestling is viewed in Ukraine and the many challenges that go along with that. The most difficult thing about being a pro wrestler and what accomplishments he is most proud of along with what about pro wrestling makes him want to continue to do it. Also as always the random questions at the end. This honestly is one of the most informative and fascinating episodes of this podcast that I have ever done. Before this I was not very familiar with the pro wrestling scene in Ukraine and hearing about its struggles first hand has been very eye opening. This is an episode that I really would classify as a must listen because of all the things that you will learn from it. I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aloneinthebasement/message
