Wrestling fandom origins and WrestleMania II

Sal Vulcano (@SalVulcano) is a comedian best known for his role on "Impractical Jokers." He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at West Coast Creative Studio in Hollywood, CA to discuss the success of the show and how it was pitched, how the show's rise to fame made filming more difficult, getting to meet Steve Austin and sharing a beer with the WWE icon, why he wasn't a part of the AEW segment with Chris Jericho, which punishment was the worst, why he doesn't like cats, and more!
