He reflects on his Polynesian heritage, the transition from player to coach, and why impacting young men as people has always mattered more than accolades.The conversation goes deep inside the life of an assistant coach, building trust with players, managing different personalities, navigating social media, and understanding that the relationships formed in the meeting room can last long after football ends. The coaches also get into the details of the running back position, the lost art of the fullback, preparing players for Sundays, and lessons learned from working with players and coaches throughout a long career in the game.Check out Up Close, Too Far Away on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fourcastsportsclt and wherever you get your podcasts.

We started talking about wrestling and somehow ended up debating Batman, Supergirl, X-Men, Logan, Deadpool, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Street Fighter, One Piece, and Grey's Anatomy.So yeah… pretty normal Nonsense episode.Henno and FNBob kick things off with WWE talk, including the current state of the company, the treatment of longtime stars, the Samoan wrestling dynasty, and why FNBob is officially suffering from Samoan fatigue. From there, the conversation takes a hard left into movies — where FNBob has some strong opinions.Supergirl gets put on trial, X-Men: The Last Stand somehow gets defended, and FNBob demands two hours of his life back from Logan. Then things get even more ridiculous when they debate whether the new Street Fighter movie is too corny, whether it should just embrace the cheese, and why Mortal Kombat already understands the assignment.Then comes the real controversy:FNBob thinks Killmonger was right.Not partially right.Not “had a point.”RIGHT.That somehow leads to Wakanda, racism, the ancestral plane, and a conversation that absolutely did not end where it started.And just when we think we're done, we get into social media, fandoms, One Piece fans, Reddit, and why apparently saying you don't want to watch 1,000+ episodes of anime is enough to summon an entire community.Finally, FNBob explains the only reason he ever considered watching Grey's Anatomy: a man with a tree through his body and an old woman's heart literally bursting into flames.This episode went everywhere.And honestly… we have no idea where we were supposed to end up.

Facade's Road to JCW Bloodymania | Wrestling Mayhem Show 1017

Wrestling Mayhem Show

The “Neon Ninja” Facade joins Sorg and Mad Mike for a wide-ranging Wrestling Mayhem Show covering championship drama, lucha libre, JCW's evolution, Power Slap controversy, and the importance of remembering why wrestling is supposed to be fun. The show opens with Chelsea Green's emotional response to suffering an orbital injury immediately after her championship victory. The crew praises Green's fiery babyface promo, the crowd's investment in her journey, and WWE's decision to give her 30 days to return and defend the title. They also examine the strength of WWE's women's championships, Fatal Influence's fast rise, and Facade's personal experience working with Green earlier in her career. WWE's growing relationship with AAA leads to a larger lucha discussion. The hosts consider a potential Penta–Rey Fenix tournament final, Roman Reigns wrestling in Mexico, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.'s Raw appearance, the AAA Cruiserweight Championship appearing on NXT, and WWE adjusting its schedule around football and other media partnerships. The independent wrestling roundup includes 2PW's Battle of the Barrel, RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble, and the final two Sorgstock match announcements: Brianna Bands against Reese Hayes and The Runway against Wild Wild South. Facade then looks ahead to the Gathering of the Juggalos and Bloodymania. He discusses JCW's transition from chaotic, insider-driven wrestling toward a more polished and accessible product—without abandoning attractions like Gore Games. Most importantly, Facade previews his three-way JCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Josh Bishop and JCW American Champion Father Bronson. The conversation shifts to Facade's latest Power Slap appearance. He explains accepting the fight on extremely short notice, cutting nearly ten pounds, entering without a full training camp, and being knocked out by a clean strike from Power Slap opponent Bougie. Facade also raises concerns about how a referee repositioned his stance immediately before the slap, discusses competitor safety, and reveals what it would take to bring him back. Finally, “What We Learned” covers Rey Mysterio's seemingly ageless performance against Chad Gable, CM Punk's misguided promo material against Kevin Owens, the latest Bloodline power structure, and Sorg rediscovering his enthusiasm for wrestling at a relaxed community show. News stories and topics Chelsea Green's injury and breakout promo Green suffered a broken orbital bone shortly after winning her championship. Nick Aldis gave her 30 days to recover, find a protective mask, and defend the title. Mad Mike calls her response one of WWE's strongest pure babyface promos in years. The panel believes the injury angle may strengthen her connection with the audience. Facade recalls managing Green and praises her personality and professionalism. WWE's women's championship scene The hosts discuss the momentum surrounding WWE's women's singles titles. Fatal Influence's rapid rise and championship success receive particular attention. Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton's recent involvement is examined. Wrestling's greatest ring slides The Usos' synchronized slides spark a debate about the best entrances into the ring. Paul London, The Rock, John Cena, and Titus O'Neil enter the conversation. The tangent expands into Samoan wrestling families and their shared athletic traits. WWE and AAA's lucha crossover The crew anticipates a possible Penta versus Rey Fenix tournament final. Roman Reigns' scheduled appearance in Mexico adds importance to the tournament. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and El Fiscal appearing on Raw are discussed. The AAA Cruiserweight Championship continuing on NXT is viewed as a natural extension of the partnership. Michael Cole's difficulty with lucha names becomes a running joke. WWE programming and scheduling The panel discusses double tapings and earlier Raw start times. WWE's relationship with ESPN and the challenge of competing with Monday Night Football are considered. The hosts note how wrestling scheduling increasingly works around larger sports partnerships. CM Punk visiting an NXT live event Punk's surprise appearance and physical interaction with Myles Borne are discussed. The group jokes about Punk choosing a small Florida live event over other cities. Independent wrestling roundup TNF's Lethal Lottery and recent surprises receive a plug. 2PW's Battle of the Barrel featured four matches at a West Homestead fire department event. Matches included Jason Tyler versus Phillip Archer, Paul Atlas and Marshall Gambino against Gory and Super Hentai, and Dennis Gregory versus Zach Nystrom. Little Ginge's appearance with Chest Flexor is highlighted. RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble is previewed. Final Sorgstock match announcements Brianna Bands will face amateur-wrestling standout Reese Hayes. The Runway will meet the newly presented team of Shelby Wylde and Georgia South, Wild Wild South. Sorg explains his goal of presenting fresh matches and unfamiliar combinations. Facade versus Ricochet A viewer asks for a complete Facade–Ricochet rivalry. Facade remembers facing Ricochet in a chaotic CZW Aerial Assault match that also featured Ruckus and AR Fox. He confirms that Ricochet was already remarkably smooth and welcomes another match. JCW's evolution The group contrasts older, loosely produced Gathering matches with JCW's current presentation. Facade argues that a more accessible product can attract viewers outside established Juggalo culture. Dangerous stipulations are now more effective when used for meaningful stories instead of appearing automatically. Gore Games is presented as the major violent spectacle on the Bloodymania card. Gathering of the Juggalos memories Sorg and Facade recall poorly lit matches, rings moved by heavy equipment, flashlight wrestling, and shows continuing until sunrise. They discuss how audiences have learned that throwing objects can prevent wrestlers from delivering the performances fans want. Faygo memories, vintage branding, and earlier JCW experiences provide several side trips. Facade's JCW World Championship opportunity Facade explains his path through the JCW American Championship picture. He will challenge World Champion Josh Bishop in a three-way also involving American Champion Father Bronson. A winner-take-all stipulation is discussed as a possibility, not a confirmed match rule. Facade hopes Vanilla Ice might provide a live “Ninja Rap” entrance. Bloodymania card The discussed lineup includes James Storm and Cocaine versus Mr. Anderson and Stephon Smith. Sonny Kiss, Haley J, J-Rod, Mickey Knuckles, Caleb Konley, Kerry Morton, EC3, Willie Mack, Too Tough Tony, Yabo the Clown, Ruffo the Clown, Donovan Dijak, Big Vito, and others are mentioned. Bloodymania will stream free on YouTube at approximately 2 a.m. Eastern Saturday morning. Facade's short-notice Power Slap fight Facade received the call while teaching at a parkour gym. He accepted only days before the event without a dedicated training camp. He reduced his weight from approximately 179 pounds to 169.5. He expected the striking order to be redrawn but learned he would have to receive the first slap. Facade believes the referee moved him out of his trained defensive posture before the strike. He credits Bougie with delivering a legitimate, clean slap and holds no personal animosity toward him. Facade is reluctant to compete again unless he receives the first strike. Power Slap safety and officiating Other competitors' experiences are used to question defensive positioning and officiating consistency. A broken arm, fighters declining unsafe situations, and commentary that ignored Facade's short-notice status are discussed. Raj Dhesi's victory over Jake Hager is highlighted as an emotional comeback. The sport's growing international schedule and involvement of wrestlers, athletes, and online creators are examined. Wrestlers finding opportunities elsewhere Power Slap, Banana Ball, American Gladiators, MMA, and visual art are presented as alternate paths. The hosts appreciate seeing wrestlers turn their personalities and athletic skills into new opportunities. “What We Learned” breakdown The chat's lesson: Solo Sikoa works surprisingly well as a babyface, while Roman Reigns' order preventing Jacob Fatu from attacking LA Knight explains Jacob's unusual inaction. The Usos also appear to have become Roman's clear seconds-in-command. Professor T-Pop's lesson: Rey Mysterio still refuses to age. His match with Chad Gable delivered match-of-the-year-level lucha action, while Gable's increasing ability to blur the line between himself and El Grande Americano continues to strengthen the character. Mad Mike's lesson: Even experienced talkers sometimes need stronger boundaries or scripting. CM Punk's endometriosis reference during his exchange with Kevin Owens was confusing, needlessly insensitive, and weaker than the material available within the story. Mike believes Owens is carrying the more effective side of the feud. Sorg's lesson: Wrestling is most rewarding when there is still room to experience it as a fan. Attending the relaxed 2PW fire department show—without being responsible for the entire production—helped him reconnect with old friends and remember what drew him to wrestling. Facade's extension of the lesson: Wrestling has taken him from local shows to touring with musicians and competing in unexpected arenas. His advice is to pause, recognize those opportunities, and appreciate where the work has led. The larger takeaway: A passion project can become so focused on logistics and business that the passion disappears. Everyone involved should remember that they choose to be there, protect their energy, and leave situations that no longer justify the cost.

The crew praises Green's fiery babyface promo, the crowd's investment in her journey, and WWE's decision to give her 30 days to return and defend the title. They also examine the strength of WWE's women's championships, Fatal Influence's fast rise, and Facade's personal experience working with Green earlier in her career. WWE's growing relationship with AAA leads to a larger lucha discussion. The hosts consider a potential Penta–Rey Fenix tournament final, Roman Reigns wrestling in Mexico, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.'s Raw appearance, the AAA Cruiserweight Championship appearing on NXT, and WWE adjusting its schedule around football and other media partnerships. The independent wrestling roundup includes 2PW's Battle of the Barrel, RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble, and the final two Sorgstock match announcements: Brianna Bands against Reese Hayes and The Runway against Wild Wild South. Facade then looks ahead to the Gathering of the Juggalos and Bloodymania. He discusses JCW's transition from chaotic, insider-driven wrestling toward a more polished and accessible product—without abandoning attractions like Gore Games. Most importantly, Facade previews his three-way JCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Josh Bishop and JCW American Champion Father Bronson. The conversation shifts to Facade's latest Power Slap appearance. He explains accepting the fight on extremely short notice, cutting nearly ten pounds, entering without a full training camp, and being knocked out by a clean strike from Power Slap opponent Bougie. Facade also raises concerns about how a referee repositioned his stance immediately before the slap, discusses competitor safety, and reveals what it would take to bring him back. Finally, “What We Learned” covers Rey Mysterio's seemingly ageless performance against Chad Gable, CM Punk's misguided promo material against Kevin Owens, the latest Bloodline power structure, and Sorg rediscovering his enthusiasm for wrestling at a relaxed community show. News stories and topics Chelsea Green's injury and breakout promo Green suffered a broken orbital bone shortly after winning her championship. Nick Aldis gave her 30 days to recover, find a protective mask, and defend the title. Mad Mike calls her response one of WWE's strongest pure babyface promos in years. The panel believes the injury angle may strengthen her connection with the audience. Facade recalls managing Green and praises her personality and professionalism. WWE's women's championship scene The hosts discuss the momentum surrounding WWE's women's singles titles. Fatal Influence's rapid rise and championship success receive particular attention. Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton's recent involvement is examined. Wrestling's greatest ring slides The Usos' synchronized slides spark a debate about the best entrances into the ring. Paul London, The Rock, John Cena, and Titus O'Neil enter the conversation. The tangent expands into Samoan wrestling families and their shared athletic traits. WWE and AAA's lucha crossover The crew anticipates a possible Penta versus Rey Fenix tournament final. Roman Reigns' scheduled appearance in Mexico adds importance to the tournament. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and El Fiscal appearing on Raw are discussed. The AAA Cruiserweight Championship continuing on NXT is viewed as a natural extension of the partnership. Michael Cole's difficulty with lucha names becomes a running joke. WWE programming and scheduling The panel discusses double tapings and earlier Raw start times. WWE's relationship with ESPN and the challenge of competing with Monday Night Football are considered. The hosts note how wrestling scheduling increasingly works around larger sports partnerships. CM Punk visiting an NXT live event Punk's surprise appearance and physical interaction with Myles Borne are discussed. The group jokes about Punk choosing a small Florida live event over other cities. Independent wrestling roundup TNF's Lethal Lottery and recent surprises receive a plug. 2PW's Battle of the Barrel featured four matches at a West Homestead fire department event. Matches included Jason Tyler versus Phillip Archer, Paul Atlas and Marshall Gambino against Gory and Super Hentai, and Dennis Gregory versus Zach Nystrom. Little Ginge's appearance with Chest Flexor is highlighted. RWA's upcoming Renegade Rumble is previewed. Final Sorgstock match announcements Brianna Bands will face amateur-wrestling standout Reese Hayes. The Runway will meet the newly presented team of Shelby Wylde and Georgia South, Wild Wild South. Sorg explains his goal of presenting fresh matches and unfamiliar combinations. Facade versus Ricochet A viewer asks for a complete Facade–Ricochet rivalry. Facade remembers facing Ricochet in a chaotic CZW Aerial Assault match that also featured Ruckus and AR Fox. He confirms that Ricochet was already remarkably smooth and welcomes another match. JCW's evolution The group contrasts older, loosely produced Gathering matches with JCW's current presentation. Facade argues that a more accessible product can attract viewers outside established Juggalo culture. Dangerous stipulations are now more effective when used for meaningful stories instead of appearing automatically. Gore Games is presented as the major violent spectacle on the Bloodymania card. Gathering of the Juggalos memories Sorg and Facade recall poorly lit matches, rings moved by heavy equipment, flashlight wrestling, and shows continuing until sunrise. They discuss how audiences have learned that throwing objects can prevent wrestlers from delivering the performances fans want. Faygo memories, vintage branding, and earlier JCW experiences provide several side trips. Facade's JCW World Championship opportunity Facade explains his path through the JCW American Championship picture. He will challenge World Champion Josh Bishop in a three-way also involving American Champion Father Bronson. A winner-take-all stipulation is discussed as a possibility, not a confirmed match rule. Facade hopes Vanilla Ice might provide a live “Ninja Rap” entrance. Bloodymania card The discussed lineup includes James Storm and Cocaine versus Mr. Anderson and Stephon Smith. Sonny Kiss, Haley J, J-Rod, Mickey Knuckles, Caleb Konley, Kerry Morton, EC3, Willie Mack, Too Tough Tony, Yabo the Clown, Ruffo the Clown, Donovan Dijak, Big Vito, and others are mentioned. Bloodymania will stream free on YouTube at approximately 2 a.m. Eastern Saturday morning. Facade's short-notice Power Slap fight Facade received the call while teaching at a parkour gym. He accepted only days before the event without a dedicated training camp. He reduced his weight from approximately 179 pounds to 169.5. He expected the striking order to be redrawn but learned he would have to receive the first slap. Facade believes the referee moved him out of his trained defensive posture before the strike. He credits Bougie with delivering a legitimate, clean slap and holds no personal animosity toward him. Facade is reluctant to compete again unless he receives the first strike. Power Slap safety and officiating Other competitors' experiences are used to question defensive positioning and officiating consistency. A broken arm, fighters declining unsafe situations, and commentary that ignored Facade's short-notice status are discussed. Raj Dhesi's victory over Jake Hager is highlighted as an emotional comeback. The sport's growing international schedule and involvement of wrestlers, athletes, and online creators are examined. Wrestlers finding opportunities elsewhere Power Slap, Banana Ball, American Gladiators, MMA, and visual art are presented as alternate paths. The hosts appreciate seeing wrestlers turn their personalities and athletic skills into new opportunities. “What We Learned” breakdown The chat's lesson: Solo Sikoa works surprisingly well as a babyface, while Roman Reigns' order preventing Jacob Fatu from attacking LA Knight explains Jacob's unusual inaction. The Usos also appear to have become Roman's clear seconds-in-command. Professor T-Pop's lesson: Rey Mysterio still refuses to age. His match with Chad Gable delivered match-of-the-year-level lucha action, while Gable's increasing ability to blur the line between himself and El Grande Americano continues to strengthen the character. Mad Mike's lesson: Even experienced talkers sometimes need stronger boundaries or scripting. CM Punk's endometriosis reference during his exchange with Kevin Owens was confusing, needlessly insensitive, and weaker than the material available within the story. Mike believes Owens is carrying the more effective side of the feud. Sorg's lesson: Wrestling is most rewarding when there is still room to experience it as a fan. Attending the relaxed 2PW fire department show—without being responsible for the entire production—helped him reconnect with old friends and remember what drew him to wrestling. Facade's extension of the lesson: Wrestling has taken him from local shows to touring with musicians and competing in unexpected arenas. His advice is to pause, recognize those opportunities, and appreciate where the work has led. The larger takeaway: A passion project can become so focused on logistics and business that the passion disappears. Everyone involved should remember that they choose to be there, protect their energy, and leave situations that no longer justify the cost.
