Producer Josh tells us about the newest member of the NY Mets, a man desperate to save his dog, and whatever the heck Ric Flair is or is not up to.
Boy did it come down yesterday! More rain possible today…and much cooler with a high of just 79°. On the show this morning, we let you know what's on TV later today and what's new on DVD for New Release Tuesday. Plus, we talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show just after 8am. In the news this morning, the latest on the Iran situation, fired UWL Chancellor Joe Gow is set for his day in court, a Woodman's store in Madison saw it's roof collapse last night, Elijah Vue's father wants a new trial, and the undocumented immigrant in the Hannah Dugan case is getting deported. In sports, the Brewers started their series with the Pirates last night, the NBA Draft begins tomorrow night, Jrue Holiday is on the move, and the US soccer team wrapped up the CONCACAF Gold Cup Group Stage. Elsewhere in sports, season 2 of the Netflix show "Quarterback" is returning, and after OKC's win in the NBA Finals, the odds for the favorite to win it all next season have been updated. We talked about an inspiring 100 year-old woman who's still hitting it hard at the gym, and a heroic 4 year-old who helped save her teacher when she suffered a seizure. We've all heard the urban legend that if you die in a dream, you die in real life….well, a new study reveals that having frequent nightmares could actually be killing you! Record heat throughout the area has caused a bunch of roads to buckle, and one of these incidents is going viral because the pavement was caught buckling just as a car was driving over it, sending the vehicle airborne! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", a family is upset that a large inheritance is going to a male escort…rather than the family, a beekeeper released a swarm of bees to attack police when they pulled him over, a #FloridaMan who broke into a vacant home to avoid going home to his angry wife, an a rumor about Ric Flair is making it's way around the internet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Originally aired: September 16, 2020 on The Place to Be Nation Wrestling Feed The boys are back with a big Episode 3 and this time they're joined by first-time podcaster Keith Hughes for a wild, angle-packed look at June 1985 on the road to the first ever Great American Bash! This episode is loaded with classic storytelling, heated rivalries, and over-the-top characters that only Jim Crockett Promotions can deliver. The crew breaks down: The fiery continuation of the build to Magnum T.A. vs. Ric Flair, while Flair vs. Nikita Koloff begins to simmer—with David Crockett jumping into the chaos! The unforgettable debut of the Boogie Kid, more Paul Jones insanity (with a bold Bobby Heenan comparison), and a wild build to the Tully Blanchard vs. Dusty Rhodes barbed wire cage match—featuring Jimmy Valiant's prostitute, because of course. A surprising title change, two big tag team debuts, and a sad goodbye to a key roster member. Long-awaited appearances by both the Mid-Atlantic and Junior Heavyweight Champions, including a great Dr. G Denny Brown backstage story. A hilarious “stroke-out moment” from Shawn on Brett Sawyer (or was it Bart?)—with one of them really upset about a body part. Plus: Manny Fernandez karate poses, '80s goofiness at its best, and a full five weeks of wild NWA TV—all building to Bash season. It's 6:05 somewhere—so settle in for another deep dive into the magic and madness of mid-‘80s Crockett in this can't-miss episode of NWA Crock & Roll!
The 65th POZCAST with John Poz will feature former WCW Head Writer, Vince Russo as we discuss WCW Great American Bash 2000. On this show, we will break down the entire PPV show, as well as talk about the events that led up to it, and all the backstage drama going on at the time. We will discuss Eric Bischoff, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Goldberg, Sid, DDP, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and so much more!Follow us on Twitter and IG @TwoManPowerTripStore - Teepublic.com/stores/TMPTtwomanpowertrip.dashery.com

On this episode of Front Row Material we discuss: Ric Flair cancer diagnosis, CM Punk being a hypocrite, NWA new TV deal, R-Truth Promo and much more!
Kevin Nash has had it. The gloves are off, and the truth is on the table. This week, Big Sexy tackles one of the most surprising WWE roster moves in recent memory—and he's not holding back. Was R-Truth really let go to save a couple bucks, or is there more going on behind the curtain? Kevin and Sean dive into the rumors, the backstage vibe, and the business logic behind Truth's shocking departure. But that's just the beginning. From Magic Johnson's 20-year contract to the sneaker culture boom to whether the Knicks are cursed by the ghost of Red Holzman, this episode sprawls across sports, style, and society. Nash opens up about the teams he dreamed of joining, the Jordans he used to wrestle in, and why Tesla owners might be the new outlaws of the highway. As always, the laughs are loud and the insight cuts deep. Whether it's dissecting the manufacturing crisis, firing shots at Elon, or pondering why Americans don't want to work anymore, this one feels like a barroom rant meets an Ivy League lecture—only louder and with way more testosterone talk. You'll also hear Kevin break down what the term “downside guarantee” really means and how WCW contracts worked in the wild west days of wrestling. Plus: Is there any truth to the whispers about The Rock's involvement in recent WWE decisions? Is Cena being set up to be the fall guy? And why does everyone think Sean is older than Kevin? If you think you can handle the truth, you're in the right place. But be warned—Kevin Nash isn't here to sugarcoat a damn thing.

Launched in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, NWA Crock & Roll quickly became a standout on the Place to Be Nation network. Hosted by Shawn and featuring a rotating cast of voices from the Backbone Feed & PTBN, the 60 episodes that aired dive deep into the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions, covering the red-hot years of 1985 and 1986 in meticulous, episode-by-episode detail. With a nostalgic nod to the iconic World Championship Wrestling time slot of 6:05pm on TBS, the podcast serves as both a tribute and a time machine, revisiting what many consider the golden era of professional wrestling. From the rise of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to territory-hopping tales and hidden gems, Crock & Roll brings history back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike. On episode 1: Join hosts Shawn , Calum ,Doctor G, and guest Jacob Williams as they kick off the deep dive into the Jim Crockett Promotions era, starting with the April 1985 episodes of World Championship Wrestling on TBS. In this debut episode, the crew breaks down: The dominance of the Andersons Dusty Rhodes and his bizarre “hand in the jar” approach to be in everything Tully Blanchard channeling James Bond The rise of the Koloffs The launch of a wild Jimmy Valiant vs. Paul Jones feud Early signs of Magnum TA's feud with Ric Flair — and a less-than-stellar showing Plus, why titles and promos actually mattered in this era. Set your clocks for 6:05 PM — it's time to Crock & Roll!
Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
The wrestling world is experiencing seismic shifts as corporate interests reshape the landscape that fans and performers have long known. Mac Davis and Teddy Long dive deep into these changes, offering perspectives that only industry veterans can provide.The conversation begins with Ric Flair's latest controversy, where he dismissed Jim Ross's cancer announcement as "attention seeking" before boasting about making "$3 million at age 76" while dismissing critics who weren't "famous." Teddy doesn't mince words in his assessment of Flair's behavior, expressing disappointment in how the once-respected legend now presents himself.As TKO tightens its grip on WWE operations, reports suggest they're reconsidering Roman Reigns' lucrative contract despite his status as the company's top star. This exemplifies the new business-focused approach that's transforming WWE under corporate ownership. Both hosts draw parallels to WCW's demise, warning that when corporations focus solely on financials without understanding wrestling's unique appeal, the product inevitably suffers.The recent release of R-Truth sparked particularly passionate discussion. Despite being one of WWE's most beloved characters, Truth was let go in what seems like a purely business decision. Teddy reveals a conversation with Truth where he expressed feeling "free" after his release. The hosts explore exciting possibilities for Truth's future, including creative storylines involving "Little Jimmy" that could revitalize his career outside WWE's constraints.Production quality also comes under scrutiny as the hosts compare today's WWE programming to the Attitude Era. They point to a recent Naomi-Bianca Belair segment that mentioned visiting a childhood home without showing any footage – a missed opportunity that highlights how the current product lacks the creative flourishes that once made wrestling compelling viewing.Join us each week for unfiltered insights into professional wrestling from those who've lived it.

On my FAFO Friday episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I kicked things off with a bang, hyped about being just 10 episodes shy of my 1,000th show, slated for Friday, June 13, 2025. I'm already dreaming big—maybe I'll get Ric Flair to swing by for the milestone! Reflecting on big moments, I brought up the late Mike Leach's posthumous induction into the College Football Hall of Fame after a rule tweak, a reminder to never take a single day for granted. Broadcasting from Flora, Mississippi, on 103.9 FM WYAB, my show streams worldwide in crisp HD from the Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios. I dove into a wild story about Jackson's Metrocenter Mall, where Randy Travis is reportedly dropping $5 million to turn the old Burlington Coat Factory into a Randy Travis Country Store and Travel Center. I'm skeptical—given the area's crime and demographics, I can't see it working out. I predicted it might morph into a sketchy gas station in a few years. My listeners backed me up, texting about safety concerns and Travis's health struggles post-stroke. For the second hour, I welcomed former Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn, the first Republican in that seat in 136 years, from 2012 to 2024. Philip opened up about losing his family to a drunk driver 37 years ago, a tragedy that shaped his faith and drive. We talked about the Republican wave in Mississippi, sparked by the Democratic Party's leftward shift, and his proudest wins—like boosting education and passing the state's biggest tax cut. He shared a hilarious story about speeding up a bill-reading machine to counter Democratic delay tactics, a relic of an 1894 rule. Philip hinted at future plans, guided by faith, and I wrapped up feeling grateful for his grit and the chance to share his real story with my audience.
