Brian Mehlenbacher returns to the podcast and helps Mark discuss this unforgettable episode. I Hope you enjoy it! 
 
“Veteran wrestler Milo Stavroupolis arrives in Mankato to take on local challengers. His cunning promoter, Jimmy Hart, persuades Jonathan Garvey to face the aging fighter, unaware the match is rigged. Behind the scenes, Stavroupolis is grappling with emotional and physical tolls from his long career, compounded by his wife Anna’s pleas for him to retire as she battles her own serious illness. Moved by Jonathan’s compassion, Milo agrees to let him step in for the upcoming championship match.”
