About this episode
We had Eric Young join the show to make his belated case for why he should've been part of the All Star Weekend festivities in his hometown of Nashville, being a Predators fan over the years, and their outlook this season. We also discuss Rick Westhead's story about former NHLers like Mike Peluso and Dan Lacouture, and how the various concussions they suffered are having a frightening long-term impact on their lives. Being a veteran of an industry which has similar concussion issues, he provides a unique perspective on how he's handled an exceedingly high number of head injuries himself, and whether the wrestling world has improved its protocol over the years. His particular stance may not necessarily be a popular one or something you agree with, but it's important to hear both sides and get everything out on the table if we wish to further the conversation in a meaningful way moving forward.
