Today's episode we'll be talking about how Nintendo is fleecing gamers with the Switch 2 and their predatory business practices.

On this episode of The Hands of Z, Shawn and Keith dig into two very different but equally fascinating matches from the fall of 1989. First up: it's a slugfest as “Rugged” Ron Garvin takes on “The Hammer” Greg Valentine on September 30, 1989. In the thick of their heated feud, these two masters of brutality go to war in a contest full of stiff strikes, grudge-fueled intensity, and old-school storytelling.  Then, we flip the channel and jump over to the AWA, where on November 18, 1989, the ever-entertaining Larry Zbyszko defends the AWA World Title against Nikita Koloff. Did this bout live up to the billing—or is it more of a case study in AWA's late-stage weirdness?  

Steve and Michael take a trip down memory lane on this amazing episode. Michael talks about his time in the business, his wild times and the state of the business today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we discuss the wrestlers that may have had technical limitations, but cut some fantastic promos and really got over. As usual, this is about their time in the AWA, not necessarily what they did in other promotions, territories, or other times in their career.   We have a new one stop shop for AWA Unleashed merch, it's https://www.teepublic.com/user/unleashed-plus

My podcast today takes a detailed look back at June 1985 in pro wrestling history. The text is taken from my book DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus.

Today's episode we'll be talking about the final season of Star Wars Andor series, why we love it, why chuds and conservatives hate Andor, and more importantly how Andor gives America the blueprint for revolution.

Anna Heil is dedicated to bettering and preserving the quality of life for first responders and members of the American military veteran community. She the Executive Director with the American Warrior Foundation who provide resources to help individuals and agencies face the internal and external challenges both the people and institutions face.This conversation we had at the annual Texas Tactical Police Officers Conference doesn't follow the typical discussions around the topic of “trauma”. Anna and the AWA Team lean in heavy to the morale injuries faced by those that serve our communities yet find themselves battling systemic institutional failures in leadership,    broken agency models, and the massive short-comings in cultural competency when it comes to providing services.Anna and The AWA have found a way to begin chipping away at the foundational components, bringing awareness to, and scaling their non-profit to make meaningful and lasting change. It's a different approach and you'll get that through this conversation.Sit back and enjoy this Iron Sights After Dark episode with Anna Heil.-Timestamps:00:00 Intro04:40 Anna Hile's Background06:50 First Responder Challenges12:09 Moral Injury Explained21:33 R3 Program Overview24:09 Building Support Systems37:40 Expanding Across Texas41:41 Public-Private Partnerships44:41 Peer Support Networks51:05 Education & Awareness01:03:57 Confidential Support Access01:07:23 A Firefighter's Story01:09:34 The New Normal01:15:11 Spousal Support Matters01:22:26 Launching Support Programs01:32:20 Advocacy & Future Plans-Red Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/

Awa a toujours su qu'elle deviendrait maman, ce qu'elle ne savait pas c'est à quel point sa première aventure de maternité allait être semée d'embûches. Rapidement après la naissance de son fils, Awa remarque que quelque chose ne va pas, qu'il est ailleurs et que sa motricité peine à se développer. Mais lorsqu'elle en parle aux médecins, on lui répond que cela dépend des enfants, qu'ils ont chacun leur rythme. Il faudra attendre sept ans pour qu'un diagnostic soit enfin posé et ce sont autant d'années durant lesquelles Awa a du se battre pour que son enfant soit scolarisé. Sans cesse rejeté des établissements scolaires à cause de son trouble du spectre de l'autisme (TSA), elle a du trouver des solutions pour ne pas subir l'isolement du handicap.Et puis Awa a connu une deuxième naissance, celle de sa fille, un rayon de soleil venu adoucir ce quotidien parfois intense.Dans cet épisode, Awa raconte comment elle s'est débrouillée pour que son fil reste à l'école, pourquoi elle a décidé de ne pas arrêter de travailler et pourquoi ce n'est pas si simple de lâcher prise.Bonne écoute !---------------------------------------------Pour soutenir HelloMammas, il vous suffit de mettre cinq étoiles et un avis sur votre application podcast.

Shane McMahon visited 317 Gimmick Street, and talked to Steve about his incredible dive from atop the cage in his match against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32, what it was like traveling down the road with Don Muraco and Roddy Piper, hanging out with Andre The Giant, being Commish of Smackdown, and his relationship with his father, Vince McMahon. Shane & Steve also discuss Steve's abrupt departure from WWE back in the day, and how that affected not only Vince personally, but the company as a whole.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
