About Gimmick Infringement
Tyler and Brad are friends who began as colleagues in the Marana High School English department. Their shared love of wrestling drew them closer in 2020, eventually leading to weekly WWE and AEW wrestling match watch-alongs with colleagues during lunch. In June of 2021, 19 Media Group was founded. The group was looking for engaging content, and the Gimmick Infringement podcast was born.
More than just wrestling, the tag-team discusses Tyler's love of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Brad's love of his daughter, Freya, music, television, film, and pop-culture. Join them every week on YouTube or your preferred audio platform, and be sure to check out the writing section of the site!
