Episode 75- You Have Every Right Not to Get Hit in the Face (Silver King)

Wrestlesplania

This week Rachel and Kath honor the late Silver King by taking a look at his 24 year long career. They talk lucha dynasties, being Black Tiger, handsomeness, and how fucked up it is that wrestlers keep dying so young. PLUS: using lucha de apuestas stipulations as makeovers, the greatest audience member of the entire 1990s, and how maybe all wrestlers should have pension plans. Like, you know, just a thought. RIP Silver King.
