Do you remember where you were when the future of wrestling arrived? It was May 29th, 2014. The event was simply called… TakeOver. The very first one. A show that wasn't just another PPV; it was a statement. A declaration that the next generation was here, and they were ready to steal the show. On the new episode of Legends and Champions, we're doing a deep dive into this historic night. We're talking about the match that truly kickstarted the Women's Revolution: Charlotte Flair versus Natalya, with their legendary family members at ringside. A match that laid the foundation for everything that came next. Plus, we'll dissect the incredible main event that put the NXT Championship on the map—Adrian Neville versus Tyson Kidd in a breathtaking athletic contest. We explore the moments, the legacy, and the birth of the brand that would define an era of wrestling. Thank you for checking out this special podcast!

Last week, wrestlers, fans, and friends of Ron Killings all expressed their disappointment and shock at the news that TKO/WWE failed to come to an agreement to keep Ron Killings, aka R-Truth, on the roster.

*Note: This is the Free Content version of my interview with Veronica French. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below.

On July 10,1981, forty-seven-year-old Ken McElroy was sitting in his truck in Skidmore, Missouri with his wife, Trina, when the vehicle was struck by a hail of gunfire that seemed to come from all directions. Although there were nearly fifty witnesses to the shooting, they all claimed not to have seen the shooters, and none of them called an ambulance. Later, when asked why no one did anything to help McElroy or cooperate with investigators, the people of Skidmore all agreed, Ken McElroy got what he deserved.The story of Ken McElroy's death captured the nation's attention, primarily because it amounted to a modern-day lynching. However, while no one denies that McElroy's death was murder, few people in and around Skidmore were interested in holding anyone accountable for the shooting. In fact, many seemed pleased to hear of McElroy's death, which raised the question, how could someone become so hated by their neighbors that they'd be willing to overlook one of the most heinous crimes?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1981.

You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts The Fort Dix alien encounter is a lesser-known UFO incident that allegedly occurred on January 18, 1978, at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Here's a summary of the key details: Summary: A military police officer at Fort Dix claimed to have encountered a non-human being after a UFO was seen hovering over the base in the early morning hours. The officer reported that a disc-shaped craft flew over his car, and then a strange creature (described as around 4 feet tall with a grayish-brown body and a large head) appeared in front of him. The officer said he shot and killed the being when it didn't comply with his orders. The body allegedly fell near McGuire AFB, adjacent to Fort Dix. A security lockdown was initiated, and a special unit supposedly arrived to recover the body. Afterward, the area was sanitized and the incident was reportedly covered up by the military. The case was publicized years later by UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield, who cited anonymous sources within the military.

We're back for another look at some of the biggest conversations around professional wrestling, a week after WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The big question following the last week - was John Cena v. Cody Rhodes "one of the WORST WrestleMania main events of all time"? According to our regular contributor, the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer? Yes. Mike McGuire walks you through the news, but we look to dive into this dubious distinction for a match, including Dave's own response to the statement. Plus, from the Legends and Champions podcast, Stefan Bennett and Mike compare EVERY WrestleMania main event match to show that maybe Cena/Rhodes wasn't the WORST.

Twenty-eight year old Peggy Anne McGuire was last seen dropping her son off for school in Canadian, Oklahoma on the morning of Monday, November 16th, 2015. Within hours of leaving the school, the single mother would mysterious disappear leaving behind a series of confusing clues which continue to cloud the truth.The day after her disappearance a local bar captured an unidentified individual on surveillance footage abandoning Peggy's truck in the early morning hours before disappearing into the pre-dawn darkness. That individual has never been identified nor has anyone been named a person of interest or suspect.For Peggy's family, there's only one suspect -- her ex-boyfriend and the father of her son, Thomas McIntosh. They claim McIntosh was a violent and abusive man who threatened Peggy's life on multiple occasions in the years leading up to her disappearance. McGuire's cell phone data shows she arrived home that morning and disappeared from somewhere surrounding the house she shared with her ex, Mr. McIntosh.Unfound Interview with BettyUse promo code "Trace" to save 10% on your ticket for CrimeCon DenverFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- Threadless --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of: "Lost Time" & "Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #realcrimes #disappeared #evidence #mcguire #peggymcguire #eufaula #OSBI #oklahomacrime #oklahomaunsolved #mcintosh #thomasmcintosh #stidham #missingmotherBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

In the winter of 1973, director William Friedkin released his iconic horror classic The Exorcist, a film that has shocked and terrified audiences for more than fifty years. Based on William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who becomes possessed by a demonic entity, and the two Catholic priests who attempt to exorcise the demon. Even more terrifying than the content of the film, however, was the fact that The Exorcist was supposedly based on a true story. William Peter Blatty had always stated The Exorcist was based on a supposedly true story he'd heard while at Georgetown University. According to Blatty, a Maryland boy, known as “Roland Doe,” had become possessed by a demonic entity and, among other things, underwent a negative personality change and began exhibiting impossible abilities including an ability to speak Latin. It was only through the dedication of one Jesuit priest that the boy was eventually freed of his possession and went on to live a normal life.Since the release of both the novel and the film in the 1970s, a great deal more has been learned about “Roland Doe” and the supposedly true story that inspired The Exorcist, raising many questions about the veracity of the original claims. Who was “Roland Doe,” and was he truly possessed by a demon, or just the intense emotions of an adolescent boy?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAllen, Thomas. 1993.
