Today, we're joined by @JoshuaBishop_ to discuss the logistics of falling off a balcony, how to get a free haircut with broken glass, and and what exactly it means to have no consequences. The audio on Bishop's end isn't too hot for the first half hour of the interview. After all, he's a professional wrestler, not a professional podcaster. If you can't tough it out, his microphone sounds immensely better starting around the 34 minute mark. Joshua Bishop vs. Dominic Garrini (AIW 4/4/2019) Check out AIW on Independent Wrestling TV.
