Andrew Pollard
Senior Writer
Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics.
As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as the lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Adrienne Barbeau, Rob Zombie, Katharine Isabelle, Leigh Whannell, Bruce Campbell, and Tony Todd, to Kevin Smith, Ron Perlman, Elijah Wood, Giancarlo Esposito, Simon Pegg, Charlie Cox, the Russo Brothers, and Brian Blessed, to Kevin Conroy, Paul Dini, Tara Strong, Will Friedle, Burt Ward, Andrea Romano, Frank Miller, and Rob Liefeld, to Bret Hart, Sting, Mick Foley, Ricky Starks/Saints, Jamie Hayter, Britt Baker, Eric Bischoff, and William Regal, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, Brian Flynn, Denis Smith, Gary Bennett, Karl Connolly, and Bryan Robson - and that's just the tip of an ever-expanding iceberg. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is co-host of the Fearless in Devotion podcast, which won the Club Podcast of the Year gong at the 2024 FSA Awards.

Yes, yes, yes, I know, Samoa Joes not officially been announced as signing with WWE yet. But lets face it, we all know that its a done deal that hell be a part of the company imminently, with Kevin Owens even recently saying he's open to a challenge from Joe. At this stage, it looks as if Samoa Joes arrival will happen in the NXT brand rather than on the main WWE roster, but who knows. Even if Joe does end up in NXT (which could lead to some fantastic matches with some of the talent down there), he could still end up on the main roster at some point down the line. With the chance that both Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe will be signed to the same company at the same time, we could get a masterclass of a match if the two were to butt heads. Many wrestling fans see Brocks best matches as his ones against Kurt Angle. As soon as Angle debuted in TNA, the first thing that happened was he got involved in a stunning set of matches with Samoa Joe. Given the chance, Joe could do just as well with Brock Lesnar as he did with Kurt Angle.
