Welcome to the home of Eat Suplex Sleep Retweet, Scotland’s premier wrestling podcast that focuses on all areas of the sport.
Founded in 2017, we wanted to put a different spin on how wrestling is analysed. You find a lot of podcasts focus a lot on previewing and reviewing shows and PPV’s. Whilst these are important for big events, our goal was to think outside the box with our content.
From topical shows about wrestling’s past, present and future to interviews with top talent. If you can think of anything wrestling, then we have you covered here.
You can check out some of our most recent shows and interviews below.

Interviews
Since early 2018, we have began adding interviews to our portfolio.
Be it with WWE stars, Scottish talent or anyone else involved in the sport, we look to give our listeners a look into the careers – however long they are – of people in and around the scene globally.
The pandemic has, like with most of the world, slowed this part of our product down in recent time, thus why we’ve published very few new interviews in the last 18 months.
SEE ALL PAST INTERVIEWSWritten Content
Our team don’t just like to talk about wrestling. They also occasionally dabble in the odd written piece or two.
Be it a preview piece for an upcoming PPV, a bit of fantasy booking, or jumping in a more ad-hoc topic, we regularly release engaging articles on a number of different areas for you to get stuck into at night or on your lunch break.

As a team, we regular compete against each other. Be it in show quizzes and PPV predictions, it adds to the fun of being in a podcast.
To add a bit of extra spice to affairs, the winner of each of the above wins the Suplex Retweet Championship.
Every since the lockdown hit the world in 2020, we’ve moved the quizzes away from the Suplex Retweet Title, and given it its own standalone spot with Quiz Showdown.
Current Champion – Allan McLucas/David Campbell/Sarah Grieve
