BONUS SEGMENT

Nick Barbati’s interview with author Lizzy Flanagan discussing her new book, “I Am Your Champion: The Life and Death of Wrestler Gino Hernandez.” Together, they take a deep dive into the fascinating and often mysterious story of one of professional wrestling’s most charismatic stars. Nick and Lizzy explore the many conspiracies and lingering questions surrounding Gino’s life and death, while also celebrating the remarkable career that made him a legend despite its tragic brevity. Whether you’re a longtime fan of World Class Championship Wrestling or discovering Gino Hernandez for the first time, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. This was first offered to VIP members a week ago on the VIP podcast feed, as Nicky’s Club is a weekly VIP-exclusive WWE-centric podcast.
