Vince McMahon's legal troubles may not be over yet, but he's been spared an embarrassing trial in a SURPRISE move this week, and here's why that makes a return to WWE at some point a lot more likely than it was before.  I have also have words for those who continue to defend this man, including dumb comments from Teddy Long and JBL.  The CM Punk rumors this week have also been INSANE... here's when you can expect him back and a way that he could win... KING OF THE RING?!  Plus... other KOTR and QOTR updates, including the completion of the SMACKDOWN SWEEP as the brand gets totally buried... the Paramount/Skydance acquisition of WBD gets Justice Department approval, but why it could still all fall apart... renewed drama in the Ryan Nemeth lawsuit against AEW as he takes another shot at CM Punk... tribalism in wrestling during the Monday Night War... the best tournament finals in wrestling history, including best KOTR final... and my review for DISCLOSURE DAY, which was supposed to be Steven Spielberg's best film in 20 years.  Yeah, about that...Support my sponsors this week by using the links below!EXPRESSVPN ▶ Get an extra FOUR MONTHS FREE of the #1 trusted VPN at http://www.expressvpn.com/solomonsterZOCDOC ▶ Visit http://www.zocdoc.com/solomonster to find and INSTANTLY book a doctor you love today!WIX HARMONY ▶ The NEW WAY to create websites!  Try it FREE at http://www.wix.com/harmony***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Somebody can get hurt for real in a sport that's built on illusion and when that happens, the referee becomes the calm in the chaos. We go live with WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long for a fast-moving Q and A that starts with fan questions and quickly turns into the kind of behind-the-scenes wrestling stories you don't hear on a highlight reel.Teddy breaks down what it's like to take bumps before you really know how, why concussions are always one bad landing away, and how refs communicate when an injury is legitimate. The conversation gets especially raw when Teddy revisits being in the ring during Droz's devastating injury, including what he heard, what he signaled, and why split-second details can change everything in professional wrestling.We also keep it fun with road stories and deep-cut memories: David Otunga talk, gym life on the road, El Gigante stories, shoutouts to The Godfather, and the real origin of “One On One With The Undertaker.” Add in thoughts on promoters and pay, upcoming appearances, and a few infamous wrestling “bust” moments, and you've got a wrestling podcast episode that balances laughter with real perspective.If you enjoy wrestling history, WWE and WCW stories, referee insight, and honest talk about what the business does to bodies over time, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more fans can find Road Trip After Hours.Send us Fan Mail

Wrestling has never had more athleticism, so why do so many matches feel like they slide right out of your memory? We dig into the uncomfortable answer: too many performers skip the fundamentals that make fans believe. Teddy Long brings the veteran lens on what changes a crowd from polite applause to real investment, and it starts with selling, pacing, and treating the job like it matters. We also talk about the respect gap between generations, and why ignoring experienced voices is one of the fastest ways to stall out a career. From character work to promo skills, we highlight what separates “good in the ring” from “can carry a show,” including a shout-out to Big Nasty Glenn as an example of someone who understands entertainment, presence, and making money beyond just bell-to-bell action. Mac Davis also shares why it was important to show his own wrestling history so newer audiences understand the full story. Then we open the mailbag and let your questions drive the ride: nostalgia about popsicles and ice cream trucks, tag team wrestling debates, Teddy's early days learning as a referee, WCW stories including meeting Ted Turner, and reflections on what “right for business” really means.

You can feel when a wrestling weekend actually hits, and SICW Fan Fest in the St. Louis area was one of those. Teddy Long and I kick things off with the highlights from Fairview Heights, including the buzz around JBL stepping back into a match for the first time in 17 years and why that kind of moment still matters when it's done the right way. We also share the kind of road details fans love, including Robert Gibson turning a travel day into a story and me accidentally “jinxing” my own flight seat situation in real time.Then we dig into the bigger WWE conversation that's all over the internet right now: Kevin Nash calling out TKO's influence and what happens when people who don't live and breathe pro wrestling start shaping a wrestling product. Teddy keeps it honest and old school, explaining why storylines, creative, and especially selling are what make fans believe. If you've ever wondered why some modern matches feel loud but forgettable, we talk about the missing link and how the best comebacks and hot tags are built.We also hit live questions, swap a couple wild locker room stories, and react to the John Cena tournament idea where fans vote a “champion” even after a loss. That leads to a real debate about what a championship is supposed to mean. If you enjoy WWE analysis, classic wrestling psychology, and road stories from the people who were actually there, you're in the right place.

In 1988 history was made by JCP. A Premium Live Event given away free on TBS showcasing some of the best and brightest for our entertainment. Titles defended. Grudges resolved. Legends are born. Henceforth known as the Clash of the Champions. Join us as the Backbone on this journey recapping these amazing show of shows. This episode, Keithie welcomes "The Walter Cronkite of Wrestling Podcasts" or “The Howard Cosell of Wrestling Podcasts" or simply known as "The Dean of Podcasts", Matt Souza. Clash of the Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder live from the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida and we hit Unlucky Number 13 as this show is.... not that good. The Fabulous Freebirds with Bobby Eaton and Little Richard Marley vs The Southern Boys Buddy Landel vs Brian Pillman Brad Armstrong vs Big Cat The "Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs Brian Lee Michael Wallstreet vs The Starblazer Sgt.

We hit record on a Wednesday night with one simple promise: anything goes. Teddy Long and I are slammed getting ready to travel, so we let the live chat direct the traffic and it turns into one of those unpredictable, old-school wrestling conversations that bounces from business to booking to pure road stories.First up, we tackle the rumor people won't stop repeating: could Vince McMahon still be pulling strings in WWE? Teddy doesn't see it, and we break down why the current creative doesn't feel like the same playbook. From there, we zoom out to WWE under TKO and ask what a “WWE vs TKO” angle even means, plus how UFC and MMA stars could be used without making the story collapse. I even pitch a WrestleMania presentation idea I'd love to see: a UFC-style cage setup and training content that makes both sides feel real.Then we get into WrestleMania talk the way fans actually talk about it, not just who wins, but who needs the win and why. We touch Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Gunther, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns, and we debate whether two-night WrestleMania is too much when storylines aren't locked in. The chat takes us into WCW and NWA nostalgia, Teddy's “real wrestling” roots, Denise road rage, Alberto Del Rio headlines, a teased Vampiro promo on JCW Lunacy, and a Harley Race story that says everything about that era.If you like wrestling podcasts that feel like you're hanging out after the show, hit play, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

On this episode we're joined by two legendary figures from pro wrestling: Mike Chioda and Teddy Long.

Welcoming back our good friend Jake Noble for his 3rd solo appearance on the pod, we catch up on current life events and reminisce on various past tales of debauchery. We also discuss the importance of Gretchen & Elliot Schwartz in Breaking Bad, spring league football, Chris Jericho returning to AEW, Josh Allen in the playoffs, Teddy Long, & SO MUCH MORE!

We accidentally proved a brutal truth about live streaming: you can show up on time, be fully “on,” and still be talking to absolutely nobody if the go live button never gets hit. Once we recover, Teddy Long takes us straight into a story that sounds like a horror movie, a loud boom, a terrifying moment at home, and the confusion of being told to relocate while things get investigated. Then we pull the curtain back later with the real explanation, and yes, it lands as the perfect April Fools payoff.From there, we slow down and pay respect to wrestling history, sharing heartfelt memories of Dennis Condrey and the legacy of the Midnight Express. We also trade Bobby Eaton stories that capture what fans rarely see: the locker room humor, the generosity, and how the best veterans make everyone around them look better without ego getting in the way.We also dig into modern WWE headlines and fan frustrations: John Cena returning to help WrestleMania, questions about slow ticket sales, and why Teddy believes pricing and promotion feel different without Vince McMahon's instincts driving the machine. Add in listener Q&A on refereeing hardcore matches, surviving triple threats, Danhausen's role as comedy relief, and the Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar debate with Gunther looming over it all, and you get a fast-moving conversation built for wrestling fans who love both the business and the behind-the-scenes craft.If you enjoy real talk wrestling stories, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more fans can find us.

Today we jump back 15 years to two back-to-back episodes of the PWTorch Livecast from Jan. 26 and 27, 2011.On the Jan. 26, 2011 episode, PWTorch editor Wade Keller and PWTorch columnist Pat McNeill talked with ten callers on a wide range of subjects including the new Wade Barrett faction on Smackdown, a potential feud for C.M. Punk, ROH's TV future, Tough Enough battling the PG rating and Ultimate Fighter with Brock Lesnar, Awesome Kong, Mark Henry's push, Ted DiBiase's burial, Eric Bischoff-Torch exchanges, Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton, Linda McMahon's campaign, WWE dropping the HD price, and more.

The road to WrestleMania has officially begun and we have our 2026 Royal Rumble winners! Roman Reigns has officially challenged CM Punk and Liv Morgan has challenged Stephanie Vaquer! Also, we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the rumble. All this and more! (9:16) Black History Month spotlight: Teddy Long(17:17) Roman Reigns challenge(38:12) Is the Royal Rumble's evolution changing because of the way WWE does business now(51:53) Oba Femi establishes himself in the Royal Rumble with the Diesel-Spot(1:00:10) Bron Breakker gets protected with Royal Rumble early elimination (1:12:38) AJ Styles' career comes to an end(1:15:29) Liv Morgan wins the Women's Royal Rumble (1:20:32) Roman Reigns wins the Royal Rumble(1:27:30) Roman is returning to the head of the table

A blue check follow from John Cena lit the fuse on a lively Wednesday night debut where we mixed road wisdom, live banter, and a mailbag that did not hold back. We talk openly about walking away with dignity, why the adrenaline is hard to quit, and how to know when it's time to pass the torch without turning your exit into a never-ending angle.From there, we cut straight to the business spine of wrestling: how Ted Turner's TV power reshaped the NWA-to-WCW era, why exposure didn't automatically mean more money for talent, and what contracts really protect. Teddy Long tells the truth without heat, grounding big history in the reality of weekly checks, leverage, and timing. The nostalgia hits too: we defend the Black Scorpion mystery as simple, effective storytelling, swap arena lore from the LA Coliseum to the ECW Arena, and laugh through a snuff-cup superfan and the legendary Titus slide.The soul of the hour belongs to the mentors. We honor Pat Patterson's unmatched eye for finishes and the way real reactions beat over-selling every time. Teddy shares the moments of quiet encouragement that kept him steady, the gratitude that keeps him from erasing any chapter of his career, and the humility that made his nine-year SmackDown GM run feel earned, not gifted. We round it out with Fan Fest Four news in Fairview Heights—Mick Foley, Powers of Pain, and more—and an open invite to join us live, toss questions, and win that After Hours hat.If you love pro wrestling stories, booking insights, and the kind of honesty you only get from people who lived it, this one is for you.

A quiet Christmas night turned into the kind of live hangout we love: full of warmth, road stories, and the kind of honest talk only a tight community can handle. We kicked off with Lola in her holiday outfit, fan roll call lighting up the chat, and Mac's Waffle House saga that only wrestling lifers truly understand on a day when everything else is closed.From there, we pulled back the curtain on how holiday shows used to work in the territory days—double shots in Greensboro and Atlanta, no time off, just the grind that built entire careers. Then we compared that to today's schedule, where TV and premium live events set the tempo and wrestlers actually get time with family. It's a real marker of how the business evolved and what it owes to the people who carried it when the road was all there was.We also faced a tough headline: the Ric Flair cameo that left a bad taste for fans who paid top dollar for a milestone message. We talked about what fans expect with paid access, the risks of tying big life moments to celebrity shoutouts, and how creators should protect trust. The mailbag kept spirits high and real—Die Hard's Christmas status, Grinch-vs-Santa self-portraits, and a candid memory of a holiday lost in the haze. Music shoutouts ranged from the Isley Brothers and the O'Jays to DJ Khaled, Cardi B, and a dash of Teddy Swims, because comfort tracks matter this time of year.We wrapped with what's ahead: celebrating Abdullah the Butcher's 80th birthday in Atlanta with Ron Simmons and the Rock 'n' Roll Express, plus MLW returning to Center Stage in March. If you want us at your con—Jacksonville and beyond—say the word and tell organizers. We're here for the meet-and-greets, the stories, and the sushi spots we never forget. If this felt like a living room on Christmas night, that's by design.If you enjoyed the show, tap subscribe and ring the bell to help us reach 10,000. Share this with a friend who loves old-school road tales and modern wrestling shifts, and drop your take: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? We'll see you next week.Send us a text

Fans once cleared aisles when Abdullah the Butcher walked through the crowd. That same aura lights up our mics as we celebrate a true original, swap stories from the territory days, and lock in plans for his 80th birthday weekend in Riverdale, Georgia. Teddy Long traces his own path back to Abby's open door—backstage access, lessons learned the hard way, and a lifelong respect for the kind of ring psychology that made people believe.We dig into what made Abby's presence so singular: the menace that felt real, the fork that made you flinch, and the way Japanese crowds reacted with equal parts fear and fascination. Gary Hart enters the chat as the gold standard of authenticity at ringside, proving how the right manager can sharpen a legend's edge. Between memories, we get practical: The black tie purple carpet birthday celebration and awards banquet at the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Ticket info, payment options, and pages to follow are all covered, because honoring legends works best when the room is full.Then we shift to a modern flashpoint: John Cena's retirement finish. We unpack why a tap undermines “never give up,” and outline a cleaner, character-safe alternative—an injury setup and a pass-out finish in the vein of Bret vs. Austin. It's not nostalgia for nostalgia's sake; it's a reminder that consistent storytelling is still the engine of great wrestling. By the end, you'll feel the throughline from Abby's believable chaos to today's booking debates and see how the craft still lives in every detail.Join us for a night of respect, humor, and sharp candor—and make plans to be part of Abby's milestone celebration.

A Thanksgiving stream with Teddy Long shouldn't feel this cozy and this candid, but that's exactly what happens. We open with food—banana pudding, butter beans, Cracker Barrel confessions—and quickly slide into why rituals and family traditions matter just as much in wrestling as they do at the dinner table. From there, the energy shifts to the weekend's big draw: WrestleCade in Winston-Salem. We talk who's appearing, why fan conventions are a lifeline for the culture, and how meeting legends creates memories TV can't touch.When the mailbag hits, the stories hit harder. Teddy drops a wild road tale about a speed trap, a night in lockup, and the Hardy Boyz walking into the same small-town jail. It's raw, funny, and exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes look that reminds you the real grind happens far from the cameras. We also pull back the curtain on locker room realities—washing gear, staying professional, and the quiet habits that keep a crew running.The heart of the conversation centers on storytelling. We get honest about modern wrestling's biggest gap: the thread that makes fans care week to week. WarGames hype without stakes falls flat, and even John Cena's farewell run needs a stronger build to feel legendary. Along the way, we swap quick-hit name associations—Bobby Lashley, Juventud Guerrera, Doink, Batista—and share a standout memory of Batista going from airport pickup duty in OVW to world champion, a perfect example of a narrative arc done right.We don't keep it narrow, either. JCW and Insane Clown Posse come up as proof that alternative promotions can thrive by offering experiences that feel personal and electric. The throughline is clear: give fans identity, consequences, and characters with edges, and they'll show up, cheer loud, and stick around.If you care about the craft, the culture, and the community, this one will hit home.

On this episode of Ruthless, Matt is joined by Marcus Fuller to discuss Teddy Long stealing the show, a disjointed Raw main event, a hilariously corny hospital attack, Eddie Guerrero stealing SmackDown, Kurt Angle's prison sentence and more! The companion written piece about that weekend's Heat and Velocity can be found here!

A farewell should feel dangerous. That's where we start: not with a bracket, but with the question every fan is asking—how do you give John Cena a last match that actually means something? We pull the camera back and talk event booking, the kind that turns a date on the calendar into a knot in your stomach. From there we pitch a finale that leans on history, stakes, and a rival who can raise the room's blood pressure in seconds.Teddy Long brings the on-the-ground truth that only a Hall of Famer can. When he was told, “You're taking the FU tonight,” it wasn't panic—it was craft. He breaks down the mindset behind trust, safety, and selling big without overselling, plus why Bobby Eaton's generosity could turn a nobody into a somebody in one look. We revisit taped vs live television, the non-negotiable work ethic that made the Horsemen era timeless, and how to carry intensity whether there are 300 fans or 15,000.We also take a hard look at modern presentation. WWE gave Cena a surprise Intercontinental title moment while crowding his spotlight. AEW opened with a bloody women's cage match that grabbed attention; we ask whether shock served character or overshadowed it. Along the way, we celebrate Steamboat's longevity, swap NWA memories, and answer listener questions on Randy Orton, legacy booking, and which talents truly benefit when a legend exits.If you care about storytelling, ring psychology, and send-offs that stick, this one's for you. Listen, weigh in with your pick for Cena's final opponent, and tell us how you'd book the ending.

The newest episode of The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast with Bob Smith (former Pro Wrestling Illustrated managing editor) and Joe Puccio (Generation X-Wire.com) starts with a look back at wrestling's most entertaining "other" stars - the personalities that weren't in the ring or doing the announcing. From Lord Alfred Hayes to Joe Pedicino to Randy Hales to George "Crybaby" Cannon and many more, we take a fond look back at the "side people" who added so much to wrestling TV. Next: Meet Mac Davis, the dynamic talent behind the popular Road Trip After Hours podcast featuring WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long. Davis has already done it all as a wrestler, announcer and host - yet, we get the feeling much more is yet to come from one of the most personable people in today's wrestling scene.

A rumor can spark nostalgia—or demand answers. We dive headfirst into the buzz around a possible Vince McMahon tell-all and ask the bigger question: what would a raw, unfiltered account mean for fans who lived the booms, the scandals, and the sale? From there we move into the realities fans feel in their wallets and in their seats: rising WWE ticket prices, empty patches in arenas, and the slow drip of trust when storylines fizzle before they land. Expect candor, a few laughs, and a direct look at how to make wrestling feel real again.Teddy Long lays out the fundamentals that still move crowds—selling that hurts, finishers that finish, and ring psychology that scales when a smaller wrestler faces a powerhouse. We talk about why authority figures need true on-screen control to anchor weekly shows, and how booking loses gravity when talent overrules the GM mid-segment. If you've missed that electric build when a crowd knows the signal and everyone rises for the finish, we're right there with you.We also shine a light on where the future can be found: independent promotions and rising talkers who can cut promos that bend a room. Fresh minds in creative, backed by veteran guidance, can restore continuity without slowing the pace. And yes, we rank bookers, weigh the odds of Attitude Era-level heat returning, and debate whether Vince appears at John Cena's final match. Come for the big questions, stay for the solutions built on ring craft, believable stakes, and a product that respects its audience.Enjoy the show? Follow, share with a friend who misses real selling, and leave a quick review with your fix for modern wrestling. Your take might shape a future segment.Send us a text

The lights are low, the music hits different, and the stories feel a little more dangerous. We open the door to wrestling's scariest era—when monsters like Abdullah the Butcher and Bruiser Brody weren't just characters, they were walking question marks. Teddy Long and Mac revisit the moments when kayfabe felt airtight, blood looked too real, and even the locker room held its breath when certain names showed up on the board.From a hilarious, tense rib on the notoriously tough Butch Reed to the unspoken rules of receipts and respect, you'll hear how the old code worked and why it still matters. Teddy takes us back to the nights he wore the stripes for the Horsemen, the Midnight Express, and the Rock 'n' Roll Express, and how learning in that crucible shaped his journey from ring crew to SmackDown GM. Along the way, we talk about how social media changed the magic trick, why selling is a lost art when egos get loud, and how the best wrestlers make their opponents shine.We also get into today's headlines and hidden gems: Vince Russo's creative move to JCW, the real value of a WWE draft versus leadership that steadies the ship, and the community energy that's moved with us as we build this channel. Then we hand out overdue flowers to underrated women who held eras together—Molly Holly's precision and generosity, Jazz's raw credibility and strength—and why their work still teaches the craft. Expect seasonal nostalgia, candy corn slander, and plenty of live chat love as we keep the conversation honest and fun.If you enjoy the stories, hit subscribe, turn on notifications, and share this with a friend who misses when wrestling felt a little scary.

In this week's episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show from five years ago (10-23-2020), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch's Mike Meyers. They discuss WWE Friday Night Smackdown on FX1 with callers and emails including Roman Reigns revealing the big stip for his match against Jey Uso on Sunday, the courtroom skits with Miz vs. Otis plus JBL, Ron Simmons, and Teddy Long, the Seth Rollins vs. Murphy match, Chad Gable quits the Shorty G gimmick, Sasha Banks forces Bayley to sign the contract, Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens team together, Bianca Belair debuts, sexual innuendo, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.

The show starts with sweet tooth confessions—OJ, cranberry, banana pudding—and veers straight into the kind of candor fans crave. That playful energy sets up a serious look at what made the Attitude Era special: pressure, pride, and a relentless drive to outwork the last match. We revisit Chyna's 1999 Good Housekeeping win over Jeff Jarrett, unpack the money standoff behind the scenes, and talk about how veterans navigated live TV without losing sight of the crowd's heartbeat.From carnivals and sideshows to the modern product, we ask why the spectacle feels safer now. Is the industry too comfortable to compete? Teddy Long shares how old school pros treated the locker room as an incubator for resilience, why you never “sell” a rib, and how even disasters in the ring become teachable moments for great workers. The mailbag brings raw stories—JBL heat, travel survival, and name association with Funaki, Justin Credible, and Sandman—along with a listener's tough review: her 11-year-old tuned out of a recent WWE show. That's a challenge worth meeting.We also tackle AI's push into voiceover and whether synthetic reads can ever replace real emotion. Wrestling runs on timing, risk, and human presence; that's hard to automate. Between laughs about fair rides gone wrong and gratitude for a growing community, the thread is clear: bring back urgency, trust performers with more voice, and polish the product without sanding off its edge.If you're here for backstage insight, Attitude Era context, and fan-first honesty, you'll feel right at home.

A Saturday night melody turns into a sharp look at trust, taste, and the stories we buy—whether it's dinner at the door or a main event on TV. We start with the simple question of who handles your food and end up unpacking who handles the creative that's supposed to hook us for two hours. From locker room wisdom about fan‑brought dishes to a true tale of food poisoning on the road, the theme is the same: standards matter, and so does accountability.We dig into WWE's rumored creative shakeup and spell out what's actually missing: hot opens with purpose, cliffhangers that carry through the entire show, and long‑term booking that rewards weekly attention. Teddy explains why on‑screen authority only works when it feels real—tone, consequence, and timing—while Mac maps how segment‑by‑segment programming killed momentum. We talk ticket prices, fan value, and the need for coherent storytelling that respects a modern audience.There's love for the indie scene, too: promoters who do it right, veterans who put local talent over, and regions like Georgia that are wide open if someone protects finishes and builds a local identity. We wade into women's hardcore wrestling with respect for consent and a clear line on safety; there's a difference between controlled danger and reckless spectacle, and fans can feel it. Along the way, we keep it human—pineapple on pizza, a treasured '64 truck, running gags with the live chat—because community is the heartbeat of wrestling and why we show up every week.If you want sharper storytelling, real stakes, and a product that earns your time and money, this conversation lays out the playbook. Tap follow, share with a friend who misses cliffhangers, and leave a review with your boldest fix for weekly TV—what would you change first?Send us a text

The show opens with a running joke about our cursed intro music—then swerves into one of our most heated segments: the impossible choices. We ask Teddy Long to pick who he'd retire between John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes; who he'd release between Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Logan Paul; and who he'd revive between Eddie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan, and Bray Wyatt. The answers are honest, surprising, and deeply human, grounded in a lifetime of watching stars rise, stumble, and become legends.From there, we trade stories that bring history to life. Teddy remembers Bray as a kid guarding a gear bag with a loyal dog and breaks down why Eddie's charisma and timing were unmatched—down to a small note on a frog splash that shows how perfectionists think. We share memories of Balls Mahoney's laughter, Cowboy Bob Orton's road days, Fit Finley's toughness and mentorship, Goldust's early years, and a tense moment where Vince McMahon left Gorilla like a thunderbolt. There's even a tasteful peek inside Vince's birthday celebration—family, music, and a rare keepsake that says more about trust than any headline.If you're trying to break into wrestling, this one's a blueprint. Teddy lays out why education comes first, how to plan for injuries and uncertainty, and where indies are failing the next generation: few teach promos, character, and show-business fundamentals. We offer concrete fixes—early call times, Q&A, storytelling drills, and veteran-led sessions—to help indie promotions build talent that can talk, connect, and move seamlessly to TV. Fans get a seat at the table; aspiring wrestlers get real steps forward; everyone gets a reminder that the ring is built on people as much as spectacle.Join the conversation, tell us your picks for retire/release/revive, and send your intro music ideas.

Teddy Long's birthday celebrations take an unexpected turn when his sweet tooth gets exposed during our live broadcast. Between bites of red velvet cake and memories of banana pudding, the WWE Hall of Famer can't hide his dessert addiction despite his protests about hitting the gym each morning. The moment provides a perfect dose of the genuine friendship and playful ribbing that defines our show.The conversation shifts to WWE's groundbreaking announcement about WrestleMania heading to Saudi Arabia in 2027. This marks the first time wrestling's premier event will leave American soil, raising serious questions about the future of the industry. Teddy provides valuable insider perspective on WWE's global expansion strategy while acknowledging the potential downside for domestic fans. We explore how skyrocketing ticket prices have already created barriers for middle-class families, with one listener sharing how a WrestleMania weekend package that once cost under $5,000 for four people would be unattainable today.Our listener mailbag delivers thoughtful questions about wrestling cities, creative direction, and fan behavior. Teddy's response about his favorite destinations leads to the night's most hilarious moment – his insistence that a Corpus Christi restaurant would catch fish to order moments after customers selected them from a menu. Between fits of laughter, we manage to discuss whether AEW might capitalize on WrestleMania's absence from America, if Vince McMahon might return to the wrestling business, and whether today's wrestling fans have become too critical.The episode captures everything that makes Road Trip After Hours special: insider wrestling knowledge, genuine friendship, listener engagement, and unexpected stories that could only come from someone who's lived the extraordinary life of Teddy Long.

Bill Goldberg's retirement match controversy takes center stage as Teddy Long and Mac dive into the backstage drama surrounding his final WWE appearance. While the in-ring action against Gunther earned praise for following wrestling's traditional code of having legends put over champions on their way out, it's what happened after the bell that has people talking. When Goldberg's farewell speech was abruptly cut off after just 21 seconds due to network time constraints, the wrestling legend publicly expressed his dissatisfaction, suggesting WWE would have handled other stars' retirements with more respect.This grievance prompted an unexpectedly harsh response from Bret Hart, whose history with Goldberg includes the career-altering concussion from their WCW days. Hart's scathing comments pull no punches, calling Goldberg "one of the biggest babies I ever shared a locker room with" who "never cared about this business, never respected it." Teddy, who maintains friendships with both men, offers a more measured perspective grounded in his decades of television experience: "If they cut him off, they had to do that. It's time consuming. He's running over somebody's time."The conversation shifts to heartfelt reflections on the recent passing of independent wrestling standout Ivan Warsaw, whose believability in the ring made him stand out in today's performance-driven landscape. The hosts also explore WWE's expanding podcast empire before diving into the always entertaining mailbag segment, where Teddy shares hilarious road stories from wrestling's territorial days—including reluctantly sharing a hotel room with Abdullah the Butcher despite their incompatible recreational preferences.Whether you're passionate about wrestling's current controversies or fascinated by the colorful tales from its past, this episode perfectly balances insider perspective with unfiltered storytelling that could only come from someone who's lived through wrestling's most transformative eras.Send us a text

Before he was the Dead Man, he was the Mean Man! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take the time-traveling hearse all the way back to early 1990 for part one of a deep dive on a prequel chapter to The Undertaker's career - his singles run in WCW as Mean Mark. Taker has often downplayed this run in interviews and talked about how there were never any plans for him down south - but was that really the case? After The New Skyscrapers collapsed, Mean Mark had a moment to shine as a singles star and we're diving deep in into his first couple of months of squash matches. It all culminated in Mark Calaway's first ever PPV singles match against Johnny Ace! Along the way to that match we cover all the absurdities of early 90s WCW including some horribly racist and drunken commentary, the Return Of Robocop, the power of the Heart Punch, Teddy Long never being able to find the camera, forgotten sponsors like Western Union and Castrol GTX, the Slam-O-Meter, the definition of "Gunkel-ing", and some big matches against the likes of Road Warrior Animal and Tommy Wildfire Rich! All that plus another loaded month of Undertaker Sightings including his big win on "L.F.G.", his appearance on "Stephanie's Places", NXT cameos, and more. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!    Check out all of the Mean Mark matches discussed here on our YouTube Playlist!    Pick up our new P.S.K. Motorcycle Patch Logo merch over TeePublic.com and celebrate 25 years of the Biker Taker with us!    Listen to "Reconstruction", the new full length album from Travis White!
