Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself Garrett Gonzales is back. In the second half of the show, we bring on writer and podcaster Andreas Hale. First, Dave and I talk about some of the news from the recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter including WWE running shows with COVID-19 positives on their roster, AEW Dynamite vs. NXT ratings from Wednesday, and Tessa Blanchard. Dave also talks about a fight of the year candidate from Saturday night's UFC show. Then, we bring on Andreas Hale who many may have seen on the New Day Podcast on racial injustice. He talks about his Wrestling With Stereotypes project, what Kofi Kingston winning the title at WrestleMania meant, Big E, first time seeing racism, and more. Timestamps:
