To say Hulk Hogan had a complicated legacy would be an understatement. On one end, he started a wrestling boom that despite some bumps along the road (which Matt and I are covering on our Tag Team Wrestling Podcast) eventually turned the then WWF into a juggernaut and publicly owned company. However, it was within these beginnings that Hogan helped put a stop to the possibility of a wrestling union being formed. On one end, he made hundreds of wrestlers millions of dollars. On the other, he has been accused of holding guys down and breaking promises to others. And of course, you have his run in WCW, where he once again turned the wrestling world on its head, making it the top company for over 80 weeks. Yet, Hogan also was at the center of a Starrcade screw job that should have been a clean win for Sting, yet another broken program with Bret Hart, and the infamous Finger Poke of Doom. All of this doesn't include his TNA run, and his foray into reality tv. To cover this varied and sometimes controversial career, I turned to a guy who I have spoken about dead wrestlers with in the past. Tubi Tuesday's very own Mike Batchelor (Batch) joins me to mostly talk about what Hulk Hogan the character meant to us as kids, and what we feel his lasting legacy will be. I then end the show talking about how the next few weeks of our main Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast (we still have a new movie about a man in blue and red tights to cover) is going to look like, as well as planned future guests on Percolated Media Presents. Oh, and the very end of the show includes a little tribute to someone else who passed away last week, the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. Very sad week for us generation x'ers, one that we will never forget. Not for what the people were as individuals, but what they did to inspire us through their work. Enjoy, and please come back as we finally put an end to our Ethan Hunt led Mission Impossible coverage!

This week's episode of Kliq This was meant to be something completely different. But when news breaks that big, there's no way to ignore it. Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver react in real time to the reported death of Hulk Hogan, a man whose shadow looms large not only over professional wrestling, but over Kevin's own career. What starts as a tribute quickly turns into something much deeper, much more personal. Kevin doesn't just reflect on Hogan's legacy, he walks us through the first time they met, the political chaos surrounding Hogan's refusal to put Bret Hart over, and the tension that once simmered between them behind the scenes. He opens up about loyalty, mistrust, and those small moments where trust is earned in the ring—like grabbing a handful of tights to protect a legend's ego after a clean powerbomb. As the episode moves through Hogan's WCW run and the birth of the NWO, Kevin gets candid about the business decisions and creative pivots that made it all work. From backstage politics to ringside storytelling, he makes it clear how close the whole thing came to never happening. There's a real sense of how risky it was to turn the industry's biggest babyface into its most infamous heel. The conversation shifts again, this time into complicated territory. Sean and Kevin don't sidestep the controversies surrounding Hogan's personal life and public perception. They grapple with tough questions: How do we separate the artist from the art? Can redemption be earned? And who really has the right to draw that line? Whether you're a lifelong Hulkamaniac, a diehard member of the IWC, or just someone who respects the grind, this episode delivers something raw, real, and unexpected. It's not just about Hogan—it's about memory, mortality, and the business of pro wrestling as seen through the eyes of someone who lived it alongside the most polarizing figure the sport has ever known.

Welcome back to The Lawcast! This time our hosts cover WCW's coolest moment, and maybe the coolest moment any wrestling promotion ever had: Bash at the Beach 1998. Yes, Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone face off in a wrestling ring only weeks after they faced off on the court in the NBA Finals.Our main event is of course Dennis Rodman and Hollywood Hogan vs. Karl Malone and Diamond Dallas Page. And this show takes place only six days after Goldberg beat Hogan for the WCW Title in The Georgia Dome in front of over 40,000 people. It's WCW's absolute peak of popularity, and they would never be the same again after this.Plus we've got Goldberg vs. Curt Hennig, Bret Hart vs. Booker T, Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio Jr., and The Giant vs. Kevin Greene. We also discuss AEW's All-In triumph, Goldberg's retirement match, the Seth Rollins injury and what's real and what's kayfabe, and more.
Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
Bill Goldberg's retirement match controversy takes center stage as Teddy Long and Mac dive into the backstage drama surrounding his final WWE appearance. While the in-ring action against Gunther earned praise for following wrestling's traditional code of having legends put over champions on their way out, it's what happened after the bell that has people talking. When Goldberg's farewell speech was abruptly cut off after just 21 seconds due to network time constraints, the wrestling legend publicly expressed his dissatisfaction, suggesting WWE would have handled other stars' retirements with more respect.This grievance prompted an unexpectedly harsh response from Bret Hart, whose history with Goldberg includes the career-altering concussion from their WCW days. Hart's scathing comments pull no punches, calling Goldberg "one of the biggest babies I ever shared a locker room with" who "never cared about this business, never respected it." Teddy, who maintains friendships with both men, offers a more measured perspective grounded in his decades of television experience: "If they cut him off, they had to do that. It's time consuming. He's running over somebody's time."The conversation shifts to heartfelt reflections on the recent passing of independent wrestling standout Ivan Warsaw, whose believability in the ring made him stand out in today's performance-driven landscape. The hosts also explore WWE's expanding podcast empire before diving into the always entertaining mailbag segment, where Teddy shares hilarious road stories from wrestling's territorial days—including reluctantly sharing a hotel room with Abdullah the Butcher despite their incompatible recreational preferences.Whether you're passionate about wrestling's current controversies or fascinated by the colorful tales from its past, this episode perfectly balances insider perspective with unfiltered storytelling that could only come from someone who's lived through wrestling's most transformative eras.Send us a text

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Brad Knight, son of Paula White Cain and stepson of Jonathan Cain. Knight details his parents' unique meeting on a Southwest flight and how their diverse backgrounds (his mother as a faith advisor and his stepfather as Journey's keyboardist) have influenced their lives. The conversation then shifts to Knight's personal journey, sharing his experience as a pastor of Story Life church, which he took over from his mother, emphasizing a storytelling and prophetic approach to faith rooted in love and grace rather than judgment. He reveals his own past as an atheist and his powerful, personal spiritual encounter, contrasting this experiential faith with rigid theological apologetics. Knight also discusses his involvement with the National Faith Advisory Board, highlighting its role in fostering interfaith engagement, particularly since the Trump administration, to preserve shared values and encourage people of faith to actively participate in the political sphere, asserting that faith and public life should not be separated. About Brad Knight Brad Knight is the Lead Pastor of StoryLife Church (https://www.storylifechurch.com/) in Apopka, FL. In addition to pastoring, he works with the National Faith Advisory Board to engage the faith community on issues that matter most to them. That's all wonderful, but he knows most people just know him as the son of Paula White-Cain, a prominent preacher and political figurehead. He's cool with that. He's 14 years into a marriage to a beautiful firebrand named Rachel Knight and has the two cutest kids in the world—his 8-year-old daughter, Asher, and his 6-year-old son, Nick. He really believes Bret Hart is "The Best There Is, The Best There Was, And The Best There Ever Will Be." Will preach for baseball tickets.

The Shining Wizards Return with a jam packed show. The boys catch up & bring back Over The Top. This leads to discussions about AAA/WWE Worlds Collide. Matt is upset about it being on Youtube, while HK & Tony enjoyed the show, even if they disagree on Vikingo. We somehow end up talking about MLW War Chamber for a few minutes. Conversation turns to Money in the Bank & our PPV Picks. We talk about the matches & the results. Plus the return of R Truth. Back from the break Brundo tells us about his trip to GCW for Tournament of Survival. And Tony finds us a video of people eating cereal out of other people's mouths. We spend a few minutes talking about AEW, and realize that 4 straight hours on a Wednesday Night wasn't for us. Then it's time for a new segment, as Handsome Kevin gives us 2 in the Pink, 1 in the Stink, as we try to guess the best & worst from an HK chosen topic. We then go on to talk about last week's homework as we talk Bret Hart vs Bob Backlund from Superstars 1994. Handsome Kevin then sends us back to SummerSlam 2005 for next week's homework as we are assigned to watch Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero. A lot of laughs and a fun show.
