Ever wonder what happens when wrestling legends gather to celebrate one of the industry's most powerful figures? This week, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long joins Mac Davis to pull back the curtain on his recent attendance at Vince McMahon's ultra-private 80th birthday bash. From sitting at McMahon's personal table alongside John Cena to receiving a remarkable marble bust inscribed with "Some legends are carved in stone," Teddy shares rare glimpses into this exclusive celebration where phones were prohibited and the WWE patriarch was "at home" directing the production.The conversation shifts to Teddy's adventures at Dragon Con, where he brought an unexpected superhero into the wrestling world by appointing Superman as a special referee for the main event. With costumed fans and electric crowds creating what Teddy calls "an indie performer's dream," his stories paint a vivid picture of wrestling's unique intersection with fan culture.Through the mailbag segment, Teddy reflects on career highlights and regrets—from refereeing the legendary Steamboat-Flair match at Chi-Town Heat to wishing his bout with Eric Bischoff and Boogeyman "never happened." He shares fascinating insights about his early days refereeing sixteen matches in a single day and the evolution of Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed) from hooded Ebony Express members to one of wrestling's most formidable tag teams.Whether you're a longtime wrestling fan or simply love behind-the-scenes stories from entertainment's most colorful characters, this episode delivers candid reflections from someone who's truly seen it all.

Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! The WWE Hall of Famer has been criticized over the years for his complaining, so we ask you this, Is Bret Hart bitter or is Bret Hart right?In this episode we dive deep starting from July 2nd, 1957 when Bret Sergeant Hart was born and talk his early career, things seem great in the beginning, but as Bret Hart rose to the top of the WWF, someone else had there eyes on his prize and we see the end of a friendship with the biggest star of them all, Hulk Hogan. Listen and here what caused the end of this friendship.As his career in the WWF skyrocketed, so didn't Hart's pay... signed to an unusual deal... Vince McMahon, owner of the WWF suggests Bret looks at WCW. Hart still the WWF Champion, gets a royal screw job in Montreal as we know as The Montreal Screw Job! While signed to WCW, Owen Hart, Bret's brother would pass on May 23rd, 1999. In that same year in December, Goldberg would deliver the, "kick heard around the world." By January 2000, Bret Hart wrestles his last match against Kevin Nash after learning about Post Concussion Syndrome.Towards the end of his career, Bret Hart was dealt some crummy blows that weren't fair to him and a lot he missed out on in his career. Twenty-six years later, Bret Hart still takes shots at Goldberg for ending his career, Eric Bischoff for not using him right in WCW, Hulk Hogan for never putting him over and holding him back in WCW, The Kliq and many others.

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.
