David and Brandon host Mike Johson of PW Insider. Mike is one of the most well-known and respected writers covering the world of professional wrestling today, having traveled all over the United States and Canada to cover everything from the grandest pay-per-view events to the smallest independent shows. He's sat everywhere you can imagine - from Domed Stadiums and major arenas to converted supermarkets and housing project basements (yes, really!) - while studying, covering, and writing about the ever-changing, at-times insane genre known as sports entertainment. Mike has been writing full-time about professional wrestling since 2004 when PWInsider.com was founded. He's interviewed hundreds of stars and legends from every aspect of professional wrestling, including The Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Eric Bischoff, Jesse Ventura, Rob Van Dam, Mick Foley, Ted DiBiase, Tommy Dreamer, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kevin Sullivan, Stan Hansen, Abyss, Billy Robinson, Tully Blanchard, Taz, and many, many others. Beyond his audio duties in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, Mike can be heard weekly co-hosting "The Mouthpiece Wrestling Show", which is syndicated in a number of major radio markets, including Boston, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and Providence, Rhode Island, among others. Prior to PWInsider.com, Mike worked with the original Extreme Championship Wrestling, serving as its official website's historian, and was regularly credited on ECW broadcasts as a researcher for announcer Joey Styles on International talents. Mike was also heavily involved with the popular ECW DVD series released by Pioneer Home Video, including scripting several of the most popular titles in that line. Mike also assisted with the company's action figure and video game lines. Beyond ECW, Mike has written for the influential Wrestling Lariat Newsletter (currently being archived in The PWInsider.com Elite section), Total Wrestling Magazine in Great Britain, and 1Wrestling.com. Currently, Mike is also working as a consultant for Capstone Press on a series of eleven (and counting) children's books about professional wrestling that have been released to school and public libraries across the United States. Prior to writing full-time, Mike worked for several years in management and production roles for the film and Broadway worlds, allowing him to bring a very unique point of view to professional wrestling as an entertainment property. A native New Yorker, Mike is proud to work seven days a week and spend endless hours writing, traveling, recording audio, conducting interviews, and watching every form of pro wrestling he can. He prays every day that he'll always have this, his dream job.
