Podcasts about Squared circle

Greg and Dane on the SCTM take a trip to the City of Angels for this August 1988 WWF House Show from the L.A. Sports Arena on The Z Channel. We get early WWF tryout matches from Mr. Perfect and Owen Hart along with a big WWF Title Match between Randy Savage and Andre the Giant.

This week's guest is an absolute warrior who has logged over thirty professional MMA fights, served his country in the United States Marine Corps, and went on an absolute tear in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship to capture the World Bantamweight Title.  Whether he's trading bare-knuckle shots in the Squared Circle or reflecting on life outside the ring, he's as real and authentic as they come.   We get into everything from life in the Marines, managing a career in mma and bare knuckle boxing, and the reality of men's mental health.  Today, we welcome Keith "The Rockstar" Richardson to the show.  Check it out!   We also get into Mike's thought on heaven, a strange tradition in Scott's neighborhood, some weird dreams, and a recent show Scott performed on. A great week.  Have a listen!

We will discuss the Main Event from that show at the start of the next episode.

It's the end of the 2010 Monday Night Wars on the SCTM, and TNA's attempt at going head-to-head with RAW ends not with a bang but with a whimper. But we do get the start of the Ric Flair/Jay Lethal feud and finally see some emotion from Chelsea, so that's a plus!

You can watch the tape in full on the WWE Vault channel on YouTube at this link. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK5VE-z0Kwg

It's the Mega Powers against the Alliance to end Hulkamania! Can the Four Horsemen and the Dungeon of Doom rid the world of Hulkamania once and for all?
