Podcast: Play in new window | Download

When the lights go down at recess at KIPP AMP Middle School in Brooklyn, it’s not time to zone out or to take a nap. It’s showtime. It’s time for The Wrestling Club.

Founded by an innovative teacher looking to connect with his students during the pandemic, this club turns watching pro wrestling inside out to teach students about storytelling, conflict resolution, inclusion and more.

And it doesn’t stop there, because you never know which WWE superstar is going to walk through the door when the club is in session. 

So today, Andreas Hale joins us fresh from his visit with all the members of what is now the most famous junior high school club in the world. A club where life lessons and, most importantly, possibility are being taught one match at a time.
