An unprecedented honest look inside the world of Independent professional wrestling as the promoters of Absolute Intense Wrestling John Thorne and Chris "Chandler Biggins" Bryan join Steve Guy to discuss the trials and tribulations of operating a independent professional wrestling company in the modern era.
The Card Is Going To Change podcast is a fantastic listen for anyone interested in the world of independent wrestling. Hosted by John Thorne, the owner of AIW (Absolute Intense Wrestling) in Cleveland, Ohio, and Steve Guy, the self-proclaimed "Moderator of Sorts," this podcast offers a candid and entertaining look at the highs and lows of putting together a wrestling show. With a rotating panel of guests from the AIW roster each week, listeners get an inside perspective on what it takes to run a successful indie promotion.
One of the best aspects of The Card Is Going To Change podcast is the wealth of knowledge and experience shared by John Thorne. As the owner of AIW, he provides valuable insights into all aspects of running a wrestling company, including booking talent, promoting shows, and dealing with financial challenges. Thorne's honesty and transparency make for fascinating listening, as he discusses both the triumphs and struggles that come with being a wrestling promoter. The rotating panel of AIW roster members also adds depth to each episode, offering their own unique perspectives on the industry. Additionally, special guests such as WWE stars and well-traveled veterans provide further insight into the world of wrestling.
One potential downside to this podcast is its focus solely on AIW and its events. While this allows for an in-depth exploration of one promotion's journey, it may not appeal to listeners who are looking for a broader range of topics or discussions about other promotions. However, for fans specifically interested in AIW or independent wrestling in general, this narrow focus is not necessarily a negative aspect.
In conclusion, The Card Is Going To Change podcast is an entertaining and informative show that gives listeners an inside look at independent wrestling through the eyes of one successful promotion. With engaging hosts and diverse guests from both within and outside AIW's roster, this podcast offers valuable insights into running a wrestling company while providing plenty of entertainment along the way. Whether you're a die-hard wrestling fan or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes workings of the industry, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.
