Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
Stepping into the wild, unfiltered world of professional wrestling has never been more entertaining than with Mac Davis and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long on Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours. Teddy kicks things off by sharing his recent experience at an Indianapolis wrestling expo where he reunited with dozens of industry legends – from Slick to Mick Foley – creating a nostalgic backdrop for the stories to follow. As the conversation shifts to current wrestling headlines, the hosts dissect Hulk Hogan's mathematically impossible claim of wrestling 400 days in a year, setting up a thoughtful exploration of wrestling's relationship with truth and entertainment.When the discussion turns to The Rock's recent controversial comments about wrestling being "a work," Teddy offers a perspective only a veteran could provide: "Everything has changed now. The whole wrestling, everything has changed. This is not back in the day and what it used to be." This seamless blend of insider knowledge with candid commentary makes even familiar wrestling debates feel fresh and nuanced.The show reaches its emotional peak during the fan questions segment, where Teddy shares truly jaw-dropping stories – witnessing Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle's backstage brawl, seeing Vince McMahon tear up scripts minutes before going live, and his own personal battle with addiction during his WCW days. His vulnerability in discussing his 250-pound frame while managing Ice Train and his journey to recovery showcases the real human behind the wrestling persona.Whether you're a die-hard wrestling fan or simply appreciate authentic conversation between two friends who've seen it all, this episode delivers moments that will make you laugh, reflect, and see professional wrestling in an entirely new light.

Kurt Angle is an American retired professional wrestler and Olympic gold medalist renowned for his exceptional wrestling career. He achieved international acclaim by winning a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics, notably competing with a broken neck. Transitioning to professional wrestling, Kurt joined the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) in 1998, where he became a multi-time world champion and was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017. Beyond wrestling, he has pursued acting and launched the Kurt Angle Brand, extending his influence beyond the ring. In this episode… Many high performers push through pain in pursuit of greatness — physically, mentally, and emotionally — but how much is too much? What happens when dedication turns into addiction, or when a lifelong dream is achieved and suddenly there's no plan for what's next? These moments can leave even the toughest champions searching for identity, purpose, and healing. Olympic gold medalist and professional wrestling icon Kurt Angle shares his raw, behind-the-scenes journey from dominating the mat to battling personal demons. He reveals how mindset shifts helped him overcome repeated failure and physical setbacks — including wrestling with a broken neck. Kurt also offers insight on managing addiction, finding purpose after peak success, and the importance of support systems, humility, and continual growth inside and outside the ring. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Jeremy Weisz and Andrew Gottlieb interview Kurt Angle, Olympic gold medalist and Founder of Kurt Angle Brand, about the highs and lows of his legendary career. Kurt dives into his physical and emotional challenges, discusses lessons from WWE and Olympic wrestling, and opens up about his recovery journey. He also discusses mentorship, comedic timing in wrestling, and fundraising for USA Wrestling.
