About
Marty & Sarah Love Wrestling
Marty & Sarah Love Wrestling began almost as soon as they met in March of 2016.
Marty reached out to Sarah in late 2015 after hearing her old podcast, WWE The People and asked about doing a brand new one. The first nine episodes were released as bonus episodes on Marty’s Wrestling With Depression feed, called Wrestling Without Depression.
In the summer of 2016, Marty & Sarah joined the ranks of MLW (MLWradio.com) and continued podcasting to a larger audience. The show began to center around bringing on “guests” from the wrestling universe, voiced by Marty and Sarah. They also became known for segments such as “Wrestling Confessions” – fan-written tales of intrigue, delight, and horror – and “F/M/K.”
You can buy most of their t-shirts over at prowrestlingtees.com/martyandsarah or check out our ShopZone for street shirts and other awesome merchandise – most of it hand-drawn (half-drawn) by Sarah. Welcome, buddies!
It’s an absurd premise that soars for DeRosa and Shockey’s commitment to the bit and to the overarching world that they’ve built for their characters.
