The Axe Bomber Podcast has officially arrived on the Chairshot Radio Network, as Greg DeMarco and Andrew Balaz launch a new weekly wrestling show built around whatever parts of the wrestling world have their attention.For the premiere episode, Greg and Andrew explain why now was the right time to add another wrestling podcast to the network and what they want Axe Bomber to become. Rather than forcing every promotion into a rigid rundown, the show gives them room to focus on the matches, wrestlers and stories worth talking about.That starts with Penta challenging Roman Reigns in the main event of Raw. Penta did not get the win, but Greg and Andrew break down why the match still mattered for his standing in WWE. They also dig into the debate over “no-selling,” and why Roman and Penta's work told a very different story than the kind of move-for-move exchanges that usually draw that criticism.The conversation then shifts to El Grande Americano winning the AAA Mega Championship. Ludwig Kaiser has fully committed to the gimmick, and Greg and Andrew look at why it continues to work, how WWE and AAA are maintaining continuity across brands, and where the character could go next.The premiere also introduces Axe Bomber's rotating weekly spotlights. Andrew checks in on MLW, where delayed television and an uneven presentation have him questioning the promotion's current direction. Greg turns his attention to NXT, particularly Grayson Waller, whose heel work and promo style are becoming one of the strongest parts of the brand.There is also time for JCW, with its mix of hardcore wrestling, soap-opera chaos and low-budget absurdity, along with a look at TNA, Nick Nemeth's championship run, Leon Slater's rise, and the value of keeping certain moves and moments special.Wrestling history, current analysis, unexpected tangents and whatever else finds its way into the conversation all have a place here.For the best wrestling apparel, visit http://prowrestlingtees/thechairshotChairshot Radio Network: Your home for the hardest hitting podcasts...

A single fan question can turn into a truth bomb when Teddy Long is in the chair. We kick things off with a heated topic that never dies in wrestling: who “has to” help set up the ring, who gets to say no, and why old-school expectations don't always fit modern locker rooms. Using the AJ Styles' son conversation as a jumping-off point, we talk about the difference between learning the ropes on small indies and pointless pressure once you're already at a higher level. From there we shift into WWE momentum, new talent, and how the right push can create a monster. We dig into why Teddy is baffled by how little gets done with Gunther at times, and why Oba Femi has the size, intensity, and believability to be a true next-big-thing if the people in charge commit to the right stories. We also address CM Punk and the “controversy” label, separating what's actually reported from the social media rumor machine that feeds on clicks. Then Teddy gets personal about character work and what made the SmackDown GM era land: the suits, the confidence, and why being yourself beats playing a fake role. He shares a Vince McMahon meeting moment that shows how quick thinking can change a segment, and we don't dodge the hard stuff either, including scary injuries like the Droz incident and the brutal reality of learning to protect yourself in wrestling. We close with JCW updates, a wild GCW run-in clip, and how to support what we're building. Subscribe, share this with a wrestling friend, and leave a review if you want more straight talk from the road.

Somebody meets Teddy Long, gets emotional, and suddenly you remember what pro wrestling is really about: connection. Mac Davis and Teddy kick things off with road stories from recent shows, then share a powerful meet-and-greet moment that proves fandom isn't “just entertainment” for a lot of people. If you've ever met a wrestler who shaped your childhood, you'll understand why Teddy treats those seconds at the table like they matter.From there we pivot into legacy, sparked by the news of Dolly Parton's passing. We talk about what separates a true icon from a momentary celebrity, and whether the world still makes “legends” the way it used to. It's a thoughtful conversation that fits right alongside the lighter, hanging-out vibe of a live wrestling podcast.And yes, we still get weird in the best way: banana popsicles, old-school banana pudding, extreme heat at the Gathering of the Juggalos with JCW, and the very real post-event talk about bugs and COVID. We also shout out Vito's new action figure, answer listener questions about Teddy's favorite WWE names to work with, managing Mark Jindrak, backstage “heat,” ring setup expectations, and why looking loud on TV is sometimes the whole point. Plus, Teddy tells stories about wild overseas fandom and serious security situations that make wrestling travel sound like a movie.If you love WWE stories, independent wrestling life, and honest talk with a Hall of Famer, hit play.

The “Neon Ninja” Facade joins Sorg and Mad Mike for a wide-ranging Wrestling Mayhem Show covering championship drama, lucha libre, JCW's evolution, Power Slap controversy, and the importance of remembering why wrestling is supposed to be fun. The show opens with Chelsea Green's emotional response to suffering an orbital injury immediately after her championship victory. The crew praises Green's fiery babyface promo, the crowd's investment in her journey, and WWE's decision to give her 30 days to return and defend the title. They also examine the strength of WWE's women's championships, Fatal Influence's fast rise, and Facade's personal experience working with Green earlier in her career. WWE's growing relationship with AAA leads to a larger lucha discussion. The hosts consider a potential Penta–Rey Fenix tournament final, Roman Reigns wrestling in Mexico, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.'s Raw appearance, the AAA Cruiserweight Championship appearing on NXT, and WWE adjusting its schedule around football and other media partnerships. The independent wrestling roundup includes 2PW's Battle of the Barrel, RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble, and the final two Sorgstock match announcements: Brianna Bands against Reese Hayes and The Runway against Wild Wild South. Facade then looks ahead to the Gathering of the Juggalos and Bloodymania. He discusses JCW's transition from chaotic, insider-driven wrestling toward a more polished and accessible product—without abandoning attractions like Gore Games. Most importantly, Facade previews his three-way JCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Josh Bishop and JCW American Champion Father Bronson. The conversation shifts to Facade's latest Power Slap appearance. He explains accepting the fight on extremely short notice, cutting nearly ten pounds, entering without a full training camp, and being knocked out by a clean strike from Power Slap opponent Bougie. Facade also raises concerns about how a referee repositioned his stance immediately before the slap, discusses competitor safety, and reveals what it would take to bring him back. Finally, “What We Learned” covers Rey Mysterio's seemingly ageless performance against Chad Gable, CM Punk's misguided promo material against Kevin Owens, the latest Bloodline power structure, and Sorg rediscovering his enthusiasm for wrestling at a relaxed community show. News stories and topics Chelsea Green's injury and breakout promo Green suffered a broken orbital bone shortly after winning her championship. Nick Aldis gave her 30 days to recover, find a protective mask, and defend the title. Mad Mike calls her response one of WWE's strongest pure babyface promos in years. The panel believes the injury angle may strengthen her connection with the audience. Facade recalls managing Green and praises her personality and professionalism. WWE's women's championship scene The hosts discuss the momentum surrounding WWE's women's singles titles. Fatal Influence's rapid rise and championship success receive particular attention. Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton's recent involvement is examined. Wrestling's greatest ring slides The Usos' synchronized slides spark a debate about the best entrances into the ring. Paul London, The Rock, John Cena, and Titus O'Neil enter the conversation. The tangent expands into Samoan wrestling families and their shared athletic traits. WWE and AAA's lucha crossover The crew anticipates a possible Penta versus Rey Fenix tournament final. Roman Reigns' scheduled appearance in Mexico adds importance to the tournament. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and El Fiscal appearing on Raw are discussed. The AAA Cruiserweight Championship continuing on NXT is viewed as a natural extension of the partnership. Michael Cole's difficulty with lucha names becomes a running joke. WWE programming and scheduling The panel discusses double tapings and earlier Raw start times. WWE's relationship with ESPN and the challenge of competing with Monday Night Football are considered. The hosts note how wrestling scheduling increasingly works around larger sports partnerships. CM Punk visiting an NXT live event Punk's surprise appearance and physical interaction with Myles Borne are discussed. The group jokes about Punk choosing a small Florida live event over other cities. Independent wrestling roundup TNF's Lethal Lottery and recent surprises receive a plug. 2PW's Battle of the Barrel featured four matches at a West Homestead fire department event. Matches included Jason Tyler versus Phillip Archer, Paul Atlas and Marshall Gambino against Gory and Super Hentai, and Dennis Gregory versus Zach Nystrom. Little Ginge's appearance with Chest Flexor is highlighted. RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble is previewed. Final Sorgstock match announcements Brianna Bands will face amateur-wrestling standout Reese Hayes. The Runway will meet the newly presented team of Shelby Wylde and Georgia South, Wild Wild South. Sorg explains his goal of presenting fresh matches and unfamiliar combinations. Facade versus Ricochet A viewer asks for a complete Facade–Ricochet rivalry. Facade remembers facing Ricochet in a chaotic CZW Aerial Assault match that also featured Ruckus and AR Fox. He confirms that Ricochet was already remarkably smooth and welcomes another match. JCW's evolution The group contrasts older, loosely produced Gathering matches with JCW's current presentation. Facade argues that a more accessible product can attract viewers outside established Juggalo culture. Dangerous stipulations are now more effective when used for meaningful stories instead of appearing automatically. Gore Games is presented as the major violent spectacle on the Bloodymania card. Gathering of the Juggalos memories Sorg and Facade recall poorly lit matches, rings moved by heavy equipment, flashlight wrestling, and shows continuing until sunrise. They discuss how audiences have learned that throwing objects can prevent wrestlers from delivering the performances fans want. Faygo memories, vintage branding, and earlier JCW experiences provide several side trips. Facade's JCW World Championship opportunity Facade explains his path through the JCW American Championship picture. He will challenge World Champion Josh Bishop in a three-way also involving American Champion Father Bronson. A winner-take-all stipulation is discussed as a possibility, not a confirmed match rule. Facade hopes Vanilla Ice might provide a live “Ninja Rap” entrance. Bloodymania card The discussed lineup includes James Storm and Cocaine versus Mr. Anderson and Stephon Smith. Sonny Kiss, Haley J, J-Rod, Mickey Knuckles, Caleb Konley, Kerry Morton, EC3, Willie Mack, Too Tough Tony, Yabo the Clown, Ruffo the Clown, Donovan Dijak, Big Vito, and others are mentioned. Bloodymania will stream free on YouTube at approximately 2 a.m. Eastern Saturday morning. Facade's short-notice Power Slap fight Facade received the call while teaching at a parkour gym. He accepted only days before the event without a dedicated training camp. He reduced his weight from approximately 179 pounds to 169.5. He expected the striking order to be redrawn but learned he would have to receive the first slap. Facade believes the referee moved him out of his trained defensive posture before the strike. He credits Bougie with delivering a legitimate, clean slap and holds no personal animosity toward him. Facade is reluctant to compete again unless he receives the first strike. Power Slap safety and officiating Other competitors' experiences are used to question defensive positioning and officiating consistency. A broken arm, fighters declining unsafe situations, and commentary that ignored Facade's short-notice status are discussed. Raj Dhesi's victory over Jake Hager is highlighted as an emotional comeback. The sport's growing international schedule and involvement of wrestlers, athletes, and online creators are examined. Wrestlers finding opportunities elsewhere Power Slap, Banana Ball, American Gladiators, MMA, and visual art are presented as alternate paths. The hosts appreciate seeing wrestlers turn their personalities and athletic skills into new opportunities. “What We Learned” breakdown The chat's lesson: Solo Sikoa works surprisingly well as a babyface, while Roman Reigns' order preventing Jacob Fatu from attacking LA Knight explains Jacob's unusual inaction. The Usos also appear to have become Roman's clear seconds-in-command. Professor T-Pop's lesson: Rey Mysterio still refuses to age. His match with Chad Gable delivered match-of-the-year-level lucha action, while Gable's increasing ability to blur the line between himself and El Grande Americano continues to strengthen the character. Mad Mike's lesson: Even experienced talkers sometimes need stronger boundaries or scripting. CM Punk's endometriosis reference during his exchange with Kevin Owens was confusing, needlessly insensitive, and weaker than the material available within the story. Mike believes Owens is carrying the more effective side of the feud. Sorg's lesson: Wrestling is most rewarding when there is still room to experience it as a fan. Attending the relaxed 2PW fire department show—without being responsible for the entire production—helped him reconnect with old friends and remember what drew him to wrestling. Facade's extension of the lesson: Wrestling has taken him from local shows to touring with musicians and competing in unexpected arenas. His advice is to pause, recognize those opportunities, and appreciate where the work has led. The larger takeaway: A passion project can become so focused on logistics and business that the passion disappears. Everyone involved should remember that they choose to be there, protect their energy, and leave situations that no longer justify the cost.

He expected the striking order to be redrawn but learned he would have to receive the first slap. Facade believes the referee moved him out of his trained defensive posture before the strike. He credits Bougie with delivering a legitimate, clean slap and holds no personal animosity toward him. Facade is reluctant to compete again unless he receives the first strike. Power Slap safety and officiating Other competitors' experiences are used to question defensive positioning and officiating consistency. A broken arm, fighters declining unsafe situations, and commentary that ignored Facade's short-notice status are discussed. Raj Dhesi's victory over Jake Hager is highlighted as an emotional comeback. The sport's growing international schedule and involvement of wrestlers, athletes, and online creators are examined. Wrestlers finding opportunities elsewhere Power Slap, Banana Ball, American Gladiators, MMA, and visual art are presented as alternate paths. The hosts appreciate seeing wrestlers turn their personalities and athletic skills into new opportunities. “What We Learned” breakdown The chat's lesson: Solo Sikoa works surprisingly well as a babyface, while Roman Reigns' order preventing Jacob Fatu from attacking LA Knight explains Jacob's unusual inaction. The Usos also appear to have become Roman's clear seconds-in-command. Professor T-Pop's lesson: Rey Mysterio still refuses to age. His match with Chad Gable delivered match-of-the-year-level lucha action, while Gable's increasing ability to blur the line between himself and El Grande Americano continues to strengthen the character. Mad Mike's lesson: Even experienced talkers sometimes need stronger boundaries or scripting. CM Punk's endometriosis reference during his exchange with Kevin Owens was confusing, needlessly insensitive, and weaker than the material available within the story. Mike believes Owens is carrying the more effective side of the feud. Sorg's lesson: Wrestling is most rewarding when there is still room to experience it as a fan. Attending the relaxed 2PW fire department show—without being responsible for the entire production—helped him reconnect with old friends and remember what drew him to wrestling. Facade's extension of the lesson: Wrestling has taken him from local shows to touring with musicians and competing in unexpected arenas. His advice is to pause, recognize those opportunities, and appreciate where the work has led. The larger takeaway: A passion project can become so focused on logistics and business that the passion disappears. Everyone involved should remember that they choose to be there, protect their energy, and leave situations that no longer justify the cost.

A police department honoring a lifelong wrestling fan shouldn't feel rare, but it does and it immediately sets the tone for a night that's equal parts heart and chaos. We share Buddy's special recognition with the Jonesboro Police Department, talk about what it means to show up for your community, and why the best wrestling stories are sometimes the ones that happen far away from TV cameras.From there, things get wild fast: a high school football player complains something is moving inside his helmet and the reveal is a cottonmouth snake. That story turns into real road-life talk about outdoor shows, checking your gear, and surviving the kind of heat Mac is about to face while heading to the Gathering of the Juggalos for JCW and a live TrillerTV weekend. We also pull back the curtain on unexpected gigs that come from wrestling, including Mac laying down “Mad Mac” style lines for a rap album.Listener questions drive the rest of the ride: Teddy Long shares memories of Paul Orndorff, talks about promoter pay and fairness as travel costs rise, and explains the mindset behind ring setup and teardown after the AJ Styles' son debate. We even get into classic locker-room chemistry with Ron Simmons and JBL, plus Teddy's all-time favorite Undertaker moment and a few strong opinions on bald-headed wrestling legends.If you like wrestling podcasts with real stories, honest advice about independent wrestling, and plenty of laughs along the way, hit play, then subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

On 05/2/2026 JCW presented Episode 69 of Lunacy. The main event is Mr. Anderson Vs James Storm for the JCW Heavyweight Championship. Available now wherever you listen to your podcast.

Pro wrestler Dani Mo returns to the Wrestling Mayhem Show studio with Sorg and Mad Mike for a conversation about stepping away from wrestling, returning with a renewed perspective and embracing every strange opportunity the business provides. Dani takes the crew aboard her cross-country family adventure by train, traveling from Pittsburgh through Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and beyond. She talks about first-class Amtrak accommodations, observation cars, full meals, sightseeing, hiking through Yosemite, camping on the way to Las Vegas and seeing No Doubt at the Sphere. More importantly, Dani explains why disconnecting from wrestling—even briefly—helped her decompress and appreciate the experiences waiting outside the ring. Back in wrestling, Dani discusses her acclaimed match with a visiting STARDOM competitor at Enjoy Wrestling, her desire to wrestle in Japan and the opportunities she has received to work with international talent. She also breaks down her unpredictable run in Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where she is expanding her character work, delivering longer promos, destroying cars, confronting Barnabas and navigating one of wrestling's wildest fictional family dramas as a two-time JCW Women's Champion. Mad Mike reports from Madison Square Garden, including the energy surrounding CM Punk, the New York Knicks-themed celebration and a WWE show that sometimes felt like a televised house show built specifically for the local audience. The crew also discusses SummerSlam possibilities, Sami Zayn's direction, Nick Aldis returning to the ring and the unseen wrestlers whose scheduled matches disappear whenever an authority figure creates a new main event. The episode also features the first match announcement for Sorgstock, memories from Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash, thoughts on WWE Unreal, questions about the value of Club WWE, AEW and STARDOM crossover, the G1 Climax and a spirited debate about roller coasters, wrestling-ring pools and the value of letting wrestling be fun. News Stories and Topics Discussed Mad Mike's Madison Square Garden experience: Mad Mike compares the reactions for CM Punk and the New York Knicks celebration while describing the unusual atmosphere of a WWE television show created heavily around its host city. CM Punk's latest major moment: The crew discusses Punk's return, championship victory and the difference between hearing a massive wrestling reaction on television and experiencing it inside the arena. New York Knicks crossover: The hosts examine the Knicks references, celebrity involvement and why parts of the show were especially rewarding for local basketball fans. WWE women's tag-team speculation: The group considers whether the current champions are temporary and whether WWE could be building toward a SummerSlam program involving the Bella Twins. What happens next for Sami Zayn: Mad Mike questions Sami's current direction and whether he could be added to another major match rather than being left without a clear SummerSlam story. Nick Aldis returning to competition: The hosts discuss Aldis moving from an authority role back into the ring, his extensive pre-WWE career and the importance of presenting him as a legitimate wrestler rather than merely an on-screen general manager. “Card Subject to Change”: A joke about wrestlers being removed from suddenly rearranged television cards evolves into a pitch for a comedy series focused on the performers who thought they had a match before the main event was rewritten. Mad Mike conquers the Royal Rumble arcade game: The crew revisits the game's classic roster and attempts to guess which wrestler Mad Mike used to win. The answer leads to an enthusiastic appreciation of D'Lo Brown. Dani Mo's cross-country train adventure: Dani describes traveling with her family in first-class Amtrak accommodations, sleeping in compact rooms, visiting the observation car and experiencing freshly prepared meals during the journey. Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco: The trip includes the Bean, Seattle's Space Needle and gum wall, the redwoods, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge and several of Dani's signature travel handstands. Disconnecting from wrestling: Dani explains how the trip allowed her to stop checking messages, ignore most wrestling responsibilities and return feeling more relaxed—even when several planned bookings were unexpectedly canceled. Yosemite and dispersed camping: After leaving her family in San Francisco, Dani continues the adventure with a friend, tackles the difficult Mist Trail, earns a fire permit and camps while traveling toward Las Vegas. No Doubt at the Sphere: Dani talks about seeing Gwen Stefani up close, buying an impressive amount of merchandise and finally reaching the concert that served as the trip's destination. Why travel matters: The group reflects on how seeing different regions, cultures and lifestyles can change a person's perspective, even without leaving the United States. Enjoy Wrestling and international competition: Dani looks back on her standout match with a visiting STARDOM wrestler and explains why she believes her recent performances against Japanese talent show that she is ready for an opportunity in Japan. Dani Mo's JCW evolution: Dani discusses developing a more aggressive and three-dimensional character, improving her extended promo work and becoming comfortable performing inside JCW's deliberately chaotic environment. The Barnabas family saga: Dani explains the “daddy issues” driving her JCW storyline, including Barnabas, an adopted rival, implied drug jokes, a damaged car and increasingly personal confrontations. Two-time JCW Women's Champion: Dani discusses working as champion while balancing recognizable babyface qualities with increasingly diabolical actions. Learning through promos: Because much of Dani's recent JCW work has involved storytelling rather than traditional matches, she is gaining experience in an area she considers challenging but necessary for reaching a larger stage. Sorgstock's first match announcement: Sorg officially announces Beastman vs. Gory in “The Big Bite-Off” for the No Limits Championship, reviving a match that could not happen during the previous special event. The Sorgstock atmosphere: The crew previews an unconventional party-style wrestling event featuring strange concepts, visual gags, music and an intentionally loose approach to wrestling canon. Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash: Dani and Sorg revisit the themed decorations, fan activities, family involvement, weapons, cake and overall madness surrounding Beastman's 40th birthday celebration. Wrestling shows built around individuals: Beastman's birthday event, Jack Pollock's benefit and other personality-driven cards inspire a discussion about shows that celebrate a specific wrestler's identity and creative vision. Alternate versions of wrestling cards: Dani reveals that several wrestlers arrived at Beastman's show expecting completely different stipulations, including a possible pillow fight and a thumbtack-and-door match. Inflatable wrestling-ring products: An online advertisement for a wrestling-themed pool sends the hosts into a search for inflatable rings and possible future Sorgstock accessories. Kennywood and roller-coaster bravery: Dani responds to allegations that she bullied Derek Dillinger into riding Phantom's Revenge, leading to comparisons of Kennywood attractions and other intense coasters around the country. AEW and STARDOM crossover: The hosts discuss Triangle of Madness, STARDOM championships and the potential for more interaction between AEW's women's division and Japanese wrestling. G1 Climax viewing: Sorg shares his early enthusiasm for the tournament and Konosuke Takeshita while the crew repeatedly finds new ways to make the tournament's name sound inappropriate. WWE Unreal: Mad Mike discusses the behind-the-scenes series, including CM Punk quietly telling John Cena that he would miss him and Cena explaining the creative logic behind his deliberately frustrating WrestleMania performance. John Cena and AJ Styles: The crew examines their tribute-filled match, the decision to use other wrestlers' signature moves and backstage footage of Seth Rollins jokingly confronting them after they produced a difficult act to follow. A crowded wrestling calendar: The group discusses competing events in Chicago, WWE's plans surrounding WrestleMania week, possible New York events and how promotions may fill the space created by WrestleMania taking place outside the United States. Club WWE: Sorg attempts to understand the subscription's value, including exclusive merchandise, ticket access, workout content, personality-driven programs and John Cena's “Unseen 17” concept. Wrestling and major-league merchandise: The hosts consider how WWE's relationship with Fanatics may make city-specific sports collaborations easier than similar partnerships for other wrestling companies. “What We Learned” Segment Breakdown Mad Mike Mad Mike's lesson comes from watching WWE Unreal. During CM Punk's “Doctor of Punkanomics” segment with John Cena, Punk quietly told Cena, “I'm gonna miss you.” It was an emotional detail that was easy to miss during the original broadcast. That revelation leads to a broader discussion about Cena's creative intentions during his final run. Mad Mike notes that Cena's explanation of the WrestleMania match closely matched the show's earlier interpretation: the slow, frustrating and intentionally boring presentation was designed to make the audience reject that version of Cena. Dani Mo Dani says the week reestablished how fun and incredible wrestling can be. Wrestling creates opportunities to travel, meet unusual people and share memorable experiences with friends, family and people who may have only met that day. Her central lesson is that performers can become so serious about wrestling that they fail to appreciate the moment. Beastman's birthday show may not have been the largest event she has worked, but dancing with her family, watching her niece become involved and enjoying the atmosphere made it one of the most fun. Sorg Sorg initially learns that he still does not fully understand what Club WWE is offering subscribers. His more meaningful lesson comes from Beastman's birthday show and other wrestler-centered events. Sorg appreciates cards that allow one person's personality, community and creative definition of wrestling to shape the entire presentation. The conclusion: wrestling needs more “non-canon” shows—events where promotions and performers can temporarily escape normal story structures, celebrate people and try concepts that would not fit on a traditional card. Chat Room and Additional Takeaways The chat highlights the increasingly crowded wrestling calendar and the unusual “battle lines” created when several promotions schedule destination events in the same city or on the same weekend. The closing conversation reinforces that the wrestling world is large enough to contain serious competition, personal celebrations, bizarre comedy, international crossover and experiences that exist simply because they are fun.

Man kids, this was an episode, and definitely our longest!  Have you ever heard about the Democratic Governor of Kentucky was assassinated in 1900, leaving the state with two rival governors, two different governments commanding, effectively, two separate militias!  Into this chaos there is a populace who either can't stop talking about local politics or are desperately sick of local politics.  This led to fights among politicians, fights among the populace and a Kentucky that was damn near broken afterwards.  Into all of this we discuss Arthur deciding what profession he wants to pursue (he wants to be a paleontologist, y'all), our sadness from recent deaths caused by ICE and some of our latest Instagram discoveries, in this packed full episode all about a divisive time in the state of Kentucky episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

In this Dailycast episode of Wrestling Coast to Coast, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland return to an old favorite when they review Wrestling Revolver's No Country for Old Mancer, but all is not well in this once cherished promotion. We look at the good (the rise of heel faction The Algorithm), the bad (tag titles defended in trios matches), and the ugly (too many chair shots to the head). Mance Warner defends the World Title against Alex Colon in a street fight. BDE defends the Remix Title in a (wait for it) Street Fight. And Ace Austin, Alan Angels, and Jeffery John have a pretty great three-way that is not a street fight! For VIP listeners, we venture to Jersey Championship Wrestling for Terry Yaki's biggest singles match to date, challenging Charles Mason for the JCW Title and a post-match angle that is TOO BIG for JCW.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.

Big Vito doesn't just tell wrestling stories, he tells them like a guy who lived every mile of the road and still protects the business. We sit down with Vito alongside WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and dig into the moments fans still argue about: the infamous dress gimmick, the reality of “passing the test” in a locker room, and why kayfabe only works when you commit with your whole body and your whole voice. If you care about wrestling psychology, heel work, and how character turns into real crowd control, this one hits fast.We also get into why Vito's current JCW run has people calling it the best work of his career. He breaks down how he builds heat, how he thinks about promos and facials, and why a veteran's real job is to elevate everyone around him, not just win segments. From there, the conversation opens up into family history, including the Lucky Luciano connection, plus what Johnny Rodz taught him about toughness, conditioning, and never showing weakness.Then it's pure locker room gold: ECW memories, working with Rob Van Dam, WCW highlights, a Terry Funk moment Vito says he'll never forget, and even the “work or shoot” Vegas confrontation that had fans split. We wrap with updates on The Don's Final Offer, new merch, an upcoming action figure, and a few final thoughts that only come from decades in the ring.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a wrestling fan who loves the old stories, and leave us a review with your favorite Big Vito moment.Send us Fan Mail

This episode of Kliq This finds Kevin Nash in a remarkably candid and fiery mood as he transitions from the serene shores of Lake Michigan to the high-stakes corporate drama currently unfolding in the wrestling world. While he shares lighthearted tales of family trips to the tulip festival and the Detroit zoo, the legendary "Big Sexy" quickly pivots to the heavy-hitting news of massive pay cuts and executive bonuses within TKO. His unfiltered perspective provides a rare look at the friction between old-school wrestling mentalities and the new corporate hierarchy. The conversation dives deep into the strategic shifts occurring at the top of the industry, specifically questioning the creative autonomy of Triple H amidst a changing landscape. Nash doesn't hold back his thoughts on the rumored salary reductions for veteran talent and the absence of top stars like Roman Reigns from upcoming schedules. By dissecting the "corporate wrestling" phenomenon, the show explores whether the soul of the business is being sacrificed for the sake of balance sheets and shareholder meetings. Beyond the boardroom battles, the duo pays tribute to the monumental legacy of the late Ted Turner, reflecting on his role as a maverick who revolutionized cable television. They also tackle fan questions ranging from the potential for a wrestling union to the finer points of modern character work. This installment serves as a provocative analysis of where the industry stands today, blending historical reverence with a sharp, contemporary critique of the powers that be.

In this special WrestleMania edition of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver check in to break down the sheer madness of wrestling's biggest weekend. While the world watches the spectacle on screen, Nash provides a veteran's perspective on the logistical chaos happening backstage and in the rafters. From the massive production hurdles to the reality of talent relations during a stadium show, this episode captures the high-stakes energy of a weekend where every minute is accounted for—sometimes literally. The centerpiece of the episode is a deep dive into the WWE Hall of Fame, where Nash recounts the "One Minute Rule" that governed his induction speech for Dennis Rodman. He pulls back the curtain on the tight scripting and the physical presence of Vince McMahon at rehearsal, detailing a moment where the "Dream Maker" himself stepped in to keep the production moving. Nash reflects on how the "taboo" of mentioning Vince has evolved into a new era of transparency under the current regime. The conversation takes a legendary turn as Nash shares his personal interactions with the icons of the industry, including a candid conversation with John Cena regarding his retirement tour. Nash breaks down the psychology of the Cena character and the "smiling" farewell, while also touching on the emotional experience of seeing the next generation of the McMahon family growing up within the business. It's a rare look at the enduring personal bonds that persist long after the cameras stop rolling. Wrapping up the session, the duo tackles everything from the grueling "Road to WrestleMania" schedule to the current state of NXT and the global reach of the brand. Whether he's debating the merits of Will Ospreay, recounting his days as a bouncer at the Cheetah in Atlanta, or explaining why he's officially "rounding up" his age to 67, Kevin Nash remains the most unfiltered voice in the game. This is Kliq This at its most topical, recorded in the heart of the WrestleMania whirlwind.

EC3 just walked into the wrong train — and we couldn't be happier about it. Jasmin St. Claire sits down with one of professional wrestling's sharpest minds and most underutilized talents, and the gloves come off fast. EC3 — former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, JCW standout, and the man running what he calls a "reeducation camp" for already-trained wrestlers outside Cleveland, Ohio — is done playing nice and ready to say what the rest of the locker room is too scared to admit. This isn't a feel-good comeback story. This is a man who nearly walked away from WWE after injury, who watched the business he loved get gutted by corporate suits and ticket price gouging, and who decided to build something real with Exodus Pro Wrestling — a training ground built on professionalism, honesty, and the radical idea that psychology and storytelling still matter. EC3 and Jasmin go deep on locker room etiquette, why you should never date inside the wrestling business, how non-fans are better judges of your work than the hardcore bubble that cheers everything, and what TNA got right that nobody wants to give it credit for. They get into AEW's storytelling problems, the TKO era killing the working man's ticket price, how a conversation with Vince Russo turned into a podcast, and why Ohio keeps producing some of the toughest wrestlers on the planet. EC3 has been in the room. He's seen it all. And on the Krazy Train, he's finally talking. All aboard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Krazy Train Podcast with Jasmin St. Claire pulls into full Juggalo + wrestling + conspiracy territory as Violent J (Insane Clown Posse / Psychopathic Records / JCW) jumps on for a no-holds-barred conversation. They hit everything from ICP’s origin story (backyard wrestling, Detroit “gimmick” culture, DIY grind, and the switch from Inner City Posse) to the birth of clown paint, the Hatchetman logo, and what it takes to keep Juggalos loyal for decades. Violent J also breaks down how Psychopathic Records operates today, why they’re not actively signing new acts, and what’s next with the brand. Then the episode veers hard into Bigfoot lore: why Violent J sees Sasquatch as an elusive primate, what an AI era does to “proof,” and how his obsession expanded into primates and orangutans, including inspiration from “Orangutan Jungle School.” On the wrestling side, he talks JCW’s evolution into “for all wrestling fans,” improving production + YouTube strategy, building characters, and why bringing in Vince Russo changed the creative direction. Plus, shoutouts to the upcoming ICP docuseries (Dead Bug) and a short doc from Cole Bennett / Lyrical Lemonade, along with plugs for PsychopathicVault.com and StrangleMania during WrestleMania week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
