Bryan Alvarez on Professional Wrestling for Dummies and F4WOnline | The Fight Game Podcast

1h 17m | Nov 13, 2026

Garrett Gonzales welcomes Bryan Alvarez, editor of F4WOnline.com and co-host of Wrestling Observer Live, to The Fight Game Podcast. Bryan has a new book out, Professional Wrestling for Dummies, co-written with Gene Selassie, and Garrett asks him about the idea behind it, who it's for, and what it was like to explain the history, rules, and major promotions of pro wrestling, from WWE and AEW to NJPW and lucha libre, to a brand new fan.

Garrett and Bryan also get into current wrestling and what's happening across the business today. They talk about the F4WOnline website and how a publication that began as the Figure Four Weekly newsletter became one of the most respected sources for wrestling news, and Bryan shares his thoughts on the state of the wrestling business.

Bryan announced on the show that for listeners of The Fight Game Podcast, there's a 50% off deal if you aren't a member of F4WOnline/Wrestling Observer. Subscribe and use the code "50" for 1/2 off your first month.
