Podcasts about NWA

NWA Wrestling's Pretty Boy Smooth pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire wastes absolutely no time getting to what makes this man tick — because the Urban Playboy persona is sharp, the in-ring work is undeniable, and the story behind how a kid from Hempstead, New York went from college basketball at Hofstra to Mercyhurst to sitting ringside at a local indie show and deciding he wanted to be a wrestler instead of a referee is exactly the kind of origin story this podcast was built for. Smooth breaks down his training under multiple coaches including EC3 — who brought him directly into the NWA — the locker room culture that makes the NWA different, the move to Comet TV and what that platform means for the promotion's reach, and how a nickname he carried in real life became the Urban Playboy character that's turning heads on national television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They're all part of Stefanie Hammett's ambitious startup, HMS.HMS (Have More Safety · Have More Sex · Have More Space) is a consent education company with a bold 2036 goal: insert affirmative consent into all 50 state criminal codes.

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.

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. Executive Producer was Eliza Kirsch.It explores First Nations excellence, substance abuse, family violence, domestic violence, cultural education, blended families, Briggs, Paul Kelly, Gurrumul, childhood trauma, art, expression, alcoholism, fatherhood, love, grief, estrangement, Australian hip-hop, Dune Rats, DZ Deathrays, TV and film soundtrack, systemic racism, justice system, violent crime, art as therapy, painting, memoir, writing, book, sobriety, poetry, Dan Sultan, triple J, Reclaim Australia, Aus Music Month, how to write songs, dark humour, growing up, becoming a man, journalling, self improvement, metaphysical, the Dreaming, belonging, prison, incarceration, beats, NWA, Wu Tang Clan.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS BLUECHEW - Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code WHW.

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.

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.

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
