A very unofficial account of the ongoing whirlwind that's pro wrestling. Lots of opinions on guys named Kenny, Cody, and maybe JJ. New Japan marks. Watching WWE sink into the abyss. Hoping AEW rights the ship.
We are back in the Land of the Rising Son and it's a total mess per usual. JR's last WCW pay-per-view appearance is a wild supercard between New Japan and WCW along with discussion on the wacky TV going on around the period. Ultimo vs Liger! Muta vs Chono! Ron Simmons vs A Nazi!Sting vs Hiroshi fucking Hase!!!Check out Jim on social media at:https://www.threads.com/@thejimdbhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejimdb.bsky.socialYou can find all the Troubles social media happenings at:https://bsky.app/profile/troubleswres.bsky.socialhttps://www.threads.com/@troubleswreshttps://www.instagram.com/troubleswres/https://x.com/FromCrockettPod This is a public episode.

Rob is yet another in the list of folks I actually became buddies with way before I ever asked him to do the show. It was so long in fact that finally I was like “oh and what the fuck are we doing, we gotta pod” and he replied “run it” and here we are. This is easily the most open and outspoken anyone has been in this space, and I loved it! We talk everything from Talk'n Shop, shit indies in the South, New South and the exit, TWE and acceptance, getting to do SCI, and just a TAD bit of tea.

I was fortunate to talk to an absolute indie legend, New South partial owner Cabana Man Dan! Since 2001, he's been up and down the roads and we discuss all the highs and lows of his career including his one Wildside gig, traveling all over the country, SUP, New South, and Beyond.

Chris and I finally got the rising star of the wrestling review Substack sphere Dean Marlowe on a pod and it's all about this year's G1 Climax.

I did it, I snagged one of the wildest interviews yet. Daniel Makabe and I started talking not about his storied career, but strange punk music and THAT is why he's cut from a different cloth. Of course, we did end up broaching the subject of wrestling and this is the end result of those Instagram DMs. Daniel was a wealth of knowledge and one of the nicest dudes I've ever talked to. I'd like to believe this is only second to the over 4 hour epic that the Q&Tr pod did in 2019 in terms of depth in Makabe's career.
