Left My Wallet: POST Wrestling’s John Pollock on Toronto sports, WrestleMania
‘Left My Wallet’ is back with POST Wrestling and former Live Audio Wrestling co-host John Pollock.
Many subscribers to the site know John from his work with Wai-Ting for years on the LAW’s Review-A-Wai and various other shows, and now he joins me to talk about the burgeoning Toronto sports scene, his WrestleMania week, POST Wrestling, and so much more.
John talks about the precipitous fall over the last few years of the Toronto Blue Jays, why the team went from a contender to a cellar dweller, his thoughts on Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Rogers Centre and network, and more.
We then break down some of the NHL playoffs including the Columbus Blue Jackets’ stunning series upset over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the frustrating playoff history of his Toronto Maple Leafs, their lack of success against the Bruins, and which team he thinks might come out of the East.
We round out our Toronto sports talk with the city’s hottest franchise, the Toronto Raptors. John tells of his memories going to games in their inaugural season, his love of Damon Stoudamire, their huge upset of Jordan and the ’96 Bulls, Vince Carter, what the city thinks of Kawhi Leonard, and their playoff outlook.
Finally, John talks about his WrestleMania week in NYC, his highlights, a chance meeting with Ric Flair, he and Wai’s journey to Bloodsport, and much more!
It’s a fun and enjoyable hour with one of Canada’s foremost wrestling journalists and a great friend to the site.
