New new free shows will be back very soon, but remember that we've been back doing weekly content on our Patreon page for a while during the free show hiatus, covering the Jerry Lawler/Stacy Carter 2001 WWE departure and eventual divorce, the WWE Network launch, and the "Clique Curtain Call." We're also starting an in-depth series on TNA getting cancelled by Spike TV and Destination America this week, which promises to be epic. In the meantime, though, here's the unreleased episode from three months ago. Will episode #544 ever be fully re-edited and re-released? We don't know. But enjoy episode #545, which is new to everyone!Kris and David (from three months ago) are back (three months ago) as we discuss the week that was February 28-March 6, 1989. Topics of discussion include:The possibility of state athletic commissions getting more involved with regulation of pro wrestling thanks to Vince McMahon testifying that they were "sports entertainment" in New Jersey.Ric Flair re-upping his contract with the NWA for three more years as the promotion is undergoing a major overhaul in every way, but not necessarily in the most positive ways.Talk of the NWA's TV product needing major changes, especially in production and overall quality.Giant Baba's questionable booking of Ricky Steamboat when he comes over as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, as well as the original plans for the NWA Champion on this tour.A great look at Stampede Wrestling from this time period, with Ed Whalen and Bulldog Bob Brown on commentary, Brown getting involved way too much, the "retirement" of Dynamite Kid, and the greatness of Lethal Larry Cameron.Invader #1 returning to action in WWC after being acquitted on all charges in the Bruiser Brody murder case.Terry Funk's insane promo from FCW TV.Bill Dundee taking over the book in Continental and Steve Beverly shares his thoughts on what needs to be done better in that territory.Lance Russell's final TV show on WMC before leaving for the NWA…sort of, because it doesn't actually feature Lance, and we explain why that happened.The same show also featuring the debut of Ronnie P. Gossett, who causes lots of chaos before he meets Jerry Lawler.Eric Embry finding a way to get back in a World Class ring at the expense of referee Harold T. Harris.Larry Zbyszko talking about being the real world champion on AWA TV.Ted DiBiase revealing the Million Dollar Belt on WWF TV.All of this and so much more on a solid episode of BTS!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Regulation0:27:34 NWA/WCW0:53:28 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, Stampede, All-Star/Tomko, EMLL, Torreon, & WWC1:29:49 Classic Commercial Break1:33:22 Halftime (from three months ago)2:16:48 Other USA: ICW (Savoldi), FCW, Fuller/Polk ECHL team, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, AWA, POWW, WWA/Geigel, & Portland3:31:53 WWFTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

About the Show:"Black Paper Party doesn't exist if it's not for the authentic representation of the Black diaspora and our products." – Jasmine HudsonWhat does it really take to build a business rooted in culture, stay true to your mission, and scale to 20,000 points of distribution—all from Northwest Arkansas? Jasmine Hudson, co-founder of Black Paper Party, is living proof that it's possible.In this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn welcomes Jasmine back for a candid and wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, representation, and what growth really looks like when you refuse to compromise your values. From packing orders in her garage during the early days to landing shelf space with major retailers, Jasmine pulls back the curtain on the journey—including what really happened after the Shark Tank cameras stopped rolling.Jasmine also shares how Black Paper Party is using AI and technology to operate smarter, what it means to be selected for the prestigious Endeavor Heartland Scale Up Accelerator, and why staying connected to the mission of celebrating Black joy and culture has been their greatest competitive advantage.Whether you're a founder grinding through the early stages, an entrepreneur looking to scale without losing your soul, or someone who simply believes that representation matters—this episode is for you. Pull up a chair and get ready to be inspired.Key Takeaways:Authenticity Matters: Staying true to your mission and serving your community is at the heart of lasting growth and brand loyalty.Growth Is a Journey: Black Paper Party went from the garage to major retailers by focusing on both process and relationships.Technology as a Tool: Leveraging AI can help small teams do more, from managing e-commerce to automating business tasks—but it should never replace original thinking.Retail Wisdom: Walmart can be a powerful incubator for brands, especially for those who understand their customer and the importance of scalability.Community and Networking: Programs like Endeavor Heartland Scale Up provide important mentorship and support, but you have to put in the work to benefit.Resilience in Business: Setbacks, like shipping disasters or lost deals, are part of the journey—true grit keeps you moving forward.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Website: Black Paper PartyBlack Paper Party on InstagramBlack Paper Party on FacebookBlack Paper Party on LinkedInEndeavor Heartland Scale Up Accelerator: endeavor.org (Check show notes for direct links.)Canem Arkan Endeavor Heartland EmailShawn Morris Endeavor Heartland EmailJasmine Hudson on LinkedInFindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"*Note: some of the resources mentioned may be affiliate links.

Paul Pratt wears many hats. A producer, a writer, a ringside commentator, a manager, and, to be fair, probably about a dozen or more contributions to the world of wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. Before he ever wrote an article or produced a talent, he was a fan.Paul is very candid about the National Wrestling Alliance and discusses his point of view both as an employee of the NWA and as a fan. Paul has made several appearances on our weekly pre-party live stream.The National Wrestling Alliance airs its weekly program POWERRR, on Saturdays at 4 PM Eastern and Pacific, with a midnight replay.
Dan Rankine (aka 'trials') was the only little Aboriginal boy living in his rural Welsh village when he woke up shaking from a nightmare. That's when he and his mother knew they needed to go home to Adelaide.Dan is now one of Australia's most respected hip hop producers, writers and rappers.Born in Adelaide, Dan spent his early years on the other side of the world - in the rolling, green hills of rural Wales - with his mum, who had fled there from Dan's violent father in the middle of the night.Far from his Ngarrindjeri connections, and with no one around who looked like him, Dan felt isolated.After an unexplained nightmare, he and his mum decided to move back to Adelaide, where things didn't suddenly become perfect.But a car crash, which could have been tragic, became an incredible turning point in Dan's life, allowing him to buy his first set of turntables.And at 16 years old, Dad set himself on the path to becoming 'trials', performing, writing and producing with and for artists like the Funkoars, Hilltop Hoods, Archie Roach and A.B. Original.Dan has recently stepped out on his own, to release his debut solo album Hendle - something of an origin story, full of honesty, pain and passion.Hendle is out now. Dan is set to publish an accompanying memoir later this year.Keep up to date with Dan's music, art and tour dates at on his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

The Southern Six is in shambles. Even before Kerry Morton turned his back on Silas Mason during his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match, signs were starting to show during the Crockett Cup. Although Morton and Taylor won the 2024 Crockett Cup, they were unable to advance to the semi-finals of the 2026 Tournament. Taylor became a regular for the National Wrestling Alliance in 2021, where he instantly became a player for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. After a stint in the tag team, The Ill Begotten, Taylor would find brotherhood in the Land Down Under, becoming the cornerstone of the Southern Six. 2024 would be one of the most successful years for Taylor in the NWA, winning the Crockett Cup Tournament with Kerry Morton and later winning the World Junior Heavyweight Championship by defeating Joe Alonzo. Taylor would obtain more gold again with partner Morton when they won the NWA US Tag Team Championships from the Country Gentlemen.In this interview, Jay Cal and Alex Taylor discuss wrestling in the Volunteer State, Taylor's start in the Black and Brave Academy, the greatness that is Jeremiah Plunkett, and their kinship with Danny Dealz.

On this episode, Tony Schiavone takes us back to one of the most explosive periods in Jim Crockett Promotions history! After being reprimanded by NWA President Bob Geigle, United States Champion Magnum T.A. snaps and attacks the president, setting off a chain of events that leads to Magnum being stripped of the U.S. Title. The fallout paves the way for one of wrestling's most legendary rivalries as Magnum T.A. and Nikita Koloff are placed on a collision course in their iconic Best-of-Seven Series. Plus, Tony breaks down the infamous rules of the Rock 'n' Roll Express Super Summer Sizzler Tour—an unforgettable moment that wrestling fans still talk about today. Then, it's the rivalry that defined a generation as Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes continue their battle for supremacy, while the shocking return of Ole Anderson adds another layer of intrigue to the NWA landscape.

SummaryInnovation isn't a lightning bolt, it's a process. That's the message threaded throughout the latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, where Eva Fast, director of the University of Arkansas MSPI program, joined hosts Daniel Koonce and Caleb Talley for a deep dive into product innovation, entrepreneurial mindsets, and the realities behind those famed “aha” moments.Drawing from her upbringing in Kenya and extensive academic career, Eva breaks the myth that innovation is a singular, sudden event. Instead, she describes it as a gradual journey shaped by diverse perspectives and continuous exposure to new ideas. Her research, inspired by Steven Johnson's "Where Good Ideas Come From," reveals that creativity blossoms over time and thrives within vibrant networks.Listeners will hear how the MSPI program acts as a bridge, connecting technical, business, and human elements to equip students for both startup ventures and corporate innovation roles. Whether you're a hands-on entrepreneur or an aspiring intrapreneur, the program's structure, mentorship, and hands-on challenges offer room for all innovation styles.Eva also spotlights the rising influence of AI, sharing how tools are accelerating everything from MVP launches to capstone projects. The conversation closes with practical advice: be curious, take action, and never underestimate the value of diverse experiences. For those craving real perspectives on what it takes to move from idea to impact, this episode is a must-listen.

SummaryWhat does it take to build a thriving running community from scratch—and keep it going year after year? In this episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, Daniel Koonce, Ty Steele, and their guests dig into the passion, patience, and persistence behind the Arkansas Track Club's rise and evolution.Founder, Shawn Wierick, never imagined trading in med school dreams for youth coaching and ultra-marathons, but since 2012, he's built a track club with roots deep in Arkansas's running culture. Driven by the belief that culture trumps all, Shawn shares insights on inclusive leadership, welcoming everyone from six-year-old racers to elite adult athletes. For him, success isn't just about race results, but about fostering an atmosphere where they embrace everybody where they are, and if they want the best for others, they're usually a good fitNow, the baton has passed to Erin Warren, physical therapist, elite runner, and Arkansas Track Club's new owner. Erin brings not just elite credentials but also lessons from personal burnout, renewal, and a burning desire to pour into the next generation of runners. Her advice to new runners is refreshingly real: take it slow, find shoes that fit, and remember that fun and patience go the distance.Whether you're lacing up for your first mile or building a grassroots sports business, this episode is full of practical wisdom and real talk—reminding us all that, at the end of the day, it's not that serious. Have fun, build community, and enjoy the run!Show Notes(00:00) Moving to Arkansas and Finding a Coach(04:24) Starting a Post-Collegiate Track Team(09:01) Keeping Practices Fun and Engaging(15:30) Turning a Running Passion Into a Career(19:29) Breaking Down Running Expenses(23:01) Learning to Enjoy the Journey(24:24) Closing ThoughtsLinksDaniel KoonceTy SteeleStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeErin WarrenShawn WierickArkansas Track Club

SummaryEver thought about what's missing from your community—and what could happen if you decided to fill that gap yourself? That question is at the heart of Ozark Float Park, the innovative family-friendly business featured in the latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast. In a region known for its outdoor spirit, Michael Barron saw an opportunity: despite Northwest Arkansas's wealth of natural settings and active families, the area was missing a float or aqua park—a modular, inflatable obstacle course on a lake designed for all ages.Michael shares his story with hosts Caleb Talley and Ty Steele, describing the moment inspiration struck during a California heatwave and how moving to Arkansas crystallized his idea. The conversation, filled with practical advice and honest reflections, dives deep into the early days of building a business on the side while managing a full-time career. Michael talks through the process of turning a dream into reality: researching local resources, finding support in Arkansas's startup ecosystem, and navigating everything from risk-aversion to operational logistics.What sets this episode apart is the genuine sense of possibility threaded throughout, especially for anyone wondering if their side-hustle could become something bigger. Michael discusses not just the vision for Ozark Float Park, but the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, offering encouragement for would-be founders to take that first, sometimes scary, step. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a fan of creative problem solving, this episode is a celebration of community, innovation, and family fun!Show Notes(00:00) Realizing a Market Opportunity(03:45) Designing Eco-Friendly Outdoor Adventures(08:03) Discovering Support in Startup Ecosystems(11:39) Creating Fun Experiences for Families(16:10) Hiring Strategies for Summer Operations(22:33) Planning a Float Park Expansion(24:40) Overcoming Fear of New Ideas(27:13) Closing ThoughtsLinksCaleb TalleyTy SteeleStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeMichael BarronOzark Float ParkSponsored by Bank of America
About the Show:"My sense of identity as an American never was as pronounced as it was when I was overseas." – Jamie AtkinsonSome people find Northwest Arkansas. Jamie Atkinson chose it after seeing most of the world first.Before planting roots in the region, Jamie Atkinson spent years as a U.S. Foreign Service officer, living and working across more than 55 countries—Argentina, Nicaragua, Bulgaria, Bolivia, the Czech Republic, and beyond. Along the way, he discovered that Delta blues music wasn't just something he loved — it was a universal language that opened doors, built trust, and connected him to people across cultures and continents. Now back in the U.S. and deeply invested in Northwest Arkansas, Jamie joins me on the podcast to talk about what it means to carry your roots with you around the world, why this corner of the Ozarks convinced his family to stay, and how a lifetime of service is shaping what comes next.Key Takeaways:Music is a Bridge: Delta blues connected people in Argentina, Bolivia, and the American South—showing that music can bring cultures together.Importance of Perspective: Living overseas gave Jamie Atkinson a deeper appreciation for being American and for appreciating other cultures.Building Community: Investing in Northwest Arkansas is about more than property—it's about relationships, teamwork, and belonging.Local Roots with Global Experience: Jamie Atkinson's experience in the Foreign Service taught him to listen, compromise, and find common ground—skills he brings to community leadership.Giving Back: Returning home, Jamie Atkinson seeks to serve his adopted community through both local business and public service.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcastImportant Links and Mentions on the Show*Website: Jamie for ArkansasReach Jamie Atkinson on social: Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInMusic Education Initiative (Orson Weems)Fayetteville Public LibraryPryor Center Juke JointFindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"*Note: some of the resources mentioned may be affiliate links.

We break down WWE Backlash 2026 from every angle as the company heads into its first Backlash event of the ESPN era in the United States. Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in the biggest match on the card, with the Bloodline story entering a completely new phase after reports surfaced that Reigns is currently not planned for Night of Champions or the June television leading into it. We discuss the family history behind the match, Jacob Fatu's rise from enforcer to true singles star, and why this feels like the biggest opportunity of his WWE career so far. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker may be the most personal match on the show as the collapse of The Vision finally comes to a head. Seth Rollins opened up this week about creating the faction because of insecurity and distrust toward Roman Reigns and CM Punk, while Bron Breakker continues trying to prove he has completely outgrown his former mentor and is ready to become WWE's next centerpiece star. The WWE United States Championship feud between Trick Williams and Sami Zayn has become one of the strangest stories in wrestling all year. We discuss the reported backstage pushback toward the Gingerbread Man storyline, why several people in WWE reportedly viewed the angle as "hokey and archaic," and Sami Zayn's explanation that he intentionally wanted to experiment with a character shift designed to divide the audience rather than function as a traditional heel turn. We also preview IYO SKY vs. Asuka, Danhausen's mystery partner situation against The Miz and Kit Wilson, and the growing speculation that Jelly Roll could appear at Backlash despite CM Punk remaining the betting favorite internally and externally. John Cena also continues heavily teasing what he calls a "history-making" announcement at Backlash that will "shock the very foundation of WWE." Reports now point toward the possible launch of Club WWE tied to the company's growing ESPN integration, and we discuss why WWE is clearly positioning the announcement as one of the defining talking points of the entire event. Outside WWE, one of the biggest stories in wrestling involves Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods officially leaving WWE after reportedly rejecting TKO restructuring deals. We break down the end of The New Day as an active WWE act, why the situation feels different from a normal release, the AEW interest already surrounding both men, and what their departures say about WWE's changing business structure under TKO. AEW delivered an emotional tribute to Ted Turner following his passing at 87 years old. Sting made a surprise appearance alongside Tony Schiavone to honor the man responsible for keeping wrestling alive on TBS and TNT for decades. We reflect on Turner's impact on wrestling history, WCW surviving because of his commitment to the business, and why modern wrestling television likely looks completely different without him. We also discuss AEW Double or Nothing trending toward one of the company's strongest domestic crowds in years from Queens, New York, while Stadium Stampede officially returns for the first time since 2021. Chris Jericho, Ricochet, The Gates of Agony, and The Hurt Syndicate are all becoming part of one of AEW's signature match concepts once again as the company leans harder into faction warfare and spectacle. Plus, we cover Lei Ying Lee regaining the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Yota Tsuji earning an IWGP Heavyweight Championship rematch against Callum Newman for NJPW Dominion, MLW and CMLL's crossover event from Arena México, and the NWA celebrating the reported audience for Powerrr's return to broadcast television on Comet TV. Then we look ahead to Raw, NXT, AEW Dynamite, TNA Impact, SmackDown, AEW Collision, NWA Powerrr, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Double or Nothing, Dominion, and the rest of the upcoming wrestling calendar.

The latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast offers a powerful glimpse into the origin and phenomenal growth of Black Paper Party, the vibrant Black-owned brand shaking up the seasonal décor industry.Hosts Daniel Koonce and Ty Steele sit down with the dynamic founders of Black Paper Party—Jasmine Hudson, Madia Willis, and J'Aaron Merchant—to uncover the inspirations, challenges, and triumphs behind their journey. As Jasmine recounts, the beginnings were humble: an aspiration to create joy and belonging amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, combining creativity and community at its core. Their first designs, launched through print-on-demand, quickly gained traction, paving the way for exponential growth and millions of products sold in stores like Walmart, Target, and more.The episode takes listeners through the unique strengths each founder contributes—Madia's design and sourcing expertise, J'Aaron's illustration talent rooted in children's media, and Jasmine's mastery of merchandising and operations. The team shares the reality of bootstrapping, scaling rapidly, and holding true to their mission of authentic representation and joy, even as their products land on shelves nationwide.For anyone curious about what it really takes to break into major retail with a purpose-driven brand, or how collaboration and authenticity can power success, this episode is an inspiring look behind the wrapping paper.
