Feature: Wrestler’s Favourite Post Pinfall Pigouts
WE ALL love a pigout every now and then. Whether you’re a wrestler or not, everyone is entitled to a cheat day.
During our podcast interviews - which you can watch on our YouTube here - we always like to get to know our wrestlers and their shoot personalities too.
One of the questions we pose is; ‘Your Favourite Post Pinfall Pigout’.
Today we bring you some of our favourite responses to that question.

“Oh my god! Maccie D’s, give it to me! That is it!
“I either do a Quarter-Pounder, with extra cheese, extra onion and extra, extra, extra, extra pickles. I love pickles. Or I have this amazing burger that I invented, it’s a Big Mac with a McChicken Sandwich inside it.
“But, you cannot go to McDonald’s and get nuggets, you cannot tell me that’s okay.”

“Papa John is my boy man, that garlic dip! We get a large, stuffed-crust Margherita, the veggie chicken bites and some garlic and cheese sticks.”

“Obviously it depends, wrestlers can’t help but go past services, so if we’re talking services it’s got to be a heaping portion of Chicken Selects (McDonald’s).
“And if I’m going home it’s absolutely, without question, a big lasagne! If I get back too late I’ll order one but I really like lasagne.”

“Doesn’t matter what place, any dirty chicken shop when I go back home. I’ll go into a Morley’s or a Favourite’s and get a greasy fillet burger and some wings”

“There’s quite a few jokes about my 9pm porridge. Being vegan limits my options at services so I’ll get a really nice porridge in Starbucks.”

“Burger King is my favourite place to go to. I’ll get a big Halloumi Burger with onions and tomatoes and all the salad bits and then I’ll get a sharebox with the Chicken Fries and Chilli Cheese Bites.
“Nobody understands my love for Chilli Cheese Bites, they are the best! I’ll halve them and put some fries inside and put it back together and eat it. It’s *chef’s kiss*”
Gene Munny - Chicken Wings

“I could easily go vegan if they created a really good substitute for chicken wings. It is my absolute passion of food. I’ll cook them, bake them, fry them, I’m perfecting my own recipe at the moment.”
Big Damo - Wendy’s

“When I was at NXT and we filmed at Full Sail, on the way out there would be a Wendy’s and they do the Dave’s Triple burger. That would always be my post NXT burger. You’re struggling to finish it but it’s so good. I’m a Wendy’s guy.”

“Especially after Deathmatches, I don’t want to pass out or anything and it keeps your sugars up!”
TK Cooper and Chuck Mambo - Chinese

Mambo: “There was a nice time where after the PROGRESS tapings, on the last day, we’d get a Chinese and they were beast. I’d get Salt and Pepper Tofu and butt tonne of veggie Spring Rolls.”
TK: “The Chinese was such a staple of the lockdown tapings. I’d get crispy seaweed, crispy chilli beef, satay chicken skewers and the quarter duck and pancakes. It used to be for me and my girlfriend but it ended up just being for me.”
