Is the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC) actually the worst thing to happen to the business? In Episode 30 of the Code Breaker Podcast, we aren't holding back. We dive deep into the current state of the industry, asking the uncomfortable questions that wrestling fans are arguing about right now.In this episode: We discuss the "Triple H Era" and ask a massive question: Why does The Game keep promising us "cinema" and "epic" storytelling, only for the actual shows to feel a bit flat? Is the creative direction stalling, or are we just impatient?Plus, we tackle the debate dividing the fanbase: Is Women’s Wrestling currently superior to the Men’s division? With the talent on the roster right now, the answer might surprise you.⚠️ A Quick Note on the Tech: You might notice the recording quality is a bit... "unique" this week. To be honest, the equipment decided to have a proper tantrum. We’ve held it all together with sellotape, optimism, and a bit of British grit. We soldiered on because the topics were too good to miss—so apologies for the gremlins, we’ll give the computer a stern talking to before next week!Support the Code Breaker Podcast: If you enjoyed the debate (despite the tech gremlins), please hit that SUBSCRIBE button and ring the bell.
