Headlock öffnet ein Mal mehr den Briefkasten und beantworten Fragen aus der Community: Wird die Bloodline für WWE langsam zu dem, was die New World Order einst für WCW war – eine erfolgreiche Geschichte, auf die man im Zweifel immer wieder zurückgreift? Wie aussagekräftig ist die viel diskutierte Bewertung des emotionalen Mask-vs.-Mask-Matches, und was unterscheidet eigentlich ein Match mit fünf Sternen von einem mit 5,75 Sternen? Und wie sähe die Wrestling-Welt heute aus, wenn es AEW niemals gegeben hätte? Olaf Bleich und Shaggy Schwarz sprechen außerdem über die Zukunft von Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, Oba Femi und Bron Breakker, die besten Booker der Wrestling-Geschichte, den Sinn von Kick-off-Shows, ein mögliches Bret-Hart-Comeback sowie die Frage, ob es heute noch einmal einen Topstar wie Goldberg oder den Ultimate Warrior geben könnte.

On this special episode, Brian Tramel and Steve Crawford look back at the life and career of Phil Hickerson, one of the toughest, most believable, and most underrated performers to ever come through Memphis wrestling. From his early run as a rugged Southern brawler teaming with Al Green, to his legendary partnership with Dennis Condrey as part of the Wrecking Crew, Hickerson built a reputation as a guy who could fight, bleed, talk, and make everything he did feel real. Brian and Steve discuss Phil's place in the Memphis territory, his wild arena brawls, his run-ins with names like Jerry Lawler, Tommy Rich, Eddie Gilbert, Harley Race, and the future Sting and Ultimate Warrior, plus his later transformation into P.Y. Chu-Hi. The show also covers what made Hickerson so respected by fans and wrestlers alike: his timing, his toughness, his believable promos, and his ability to make everyone he worked with look better. It's part career retrospective, part Memphis wrestling history lesson, and part tribute to one of the last great old-school Southern wrestling originals. A salute to “Big” Phil Hickerson — a Jackson, Tennessee tough guy who left a lasting mark on Memphis wrestling.

With the release of my new book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus available on Amazon, I continue a deep dive into those two years to look at the stories between the stories. Wrestling Observer Newsletter Dave Meltzer begins the May 29, 1986 issue by stating that there isn't 'any big news this week' which allows us to look at a lot of stuff that doesn't get regularly discussed. Buddy Rose and Doug Somers have won the AWA World tag team titles from Curt Hennig and Scott Hall, 'Cowboy' Bob Orton has been arrested, UWF is running a hot angle with Bill Watts, Eddie Gilbert, and Korstia Korchenko, and the big powerhouse team of The Bladerunners (the future Ultimate Warrior and Sting) are changing companies... sort of. This week is a fun deep dive back into 1986 pro wrestling history.
In this week's Interview Classic podcasts, we jump back to ten years ago this week (3-31-2016) when PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviewed Pro Wrestling Spotlight radio show host (circa late 1980s to mid-'90s), former wrestling convention and promoter and wrestler, and now country music act manager John Arezzi discussing WM32 and a remarkable story regarding dealing with Ultimate Warrior in the 1990s.

Clay and Jamie Creel ditch the politics and dive headfirst into the glory days of territorial wrestling. From the Jackson Coliseum and Trade Mart to Mid-South, WCCW, USWA, and the NWA, the guys trade stories about Junkyard Dog (and his Stagger Lee run), the Freebirds vs. Von Erichs Texas Stadium wars, Kamala's terrifying debut at the Armory, the Road Warriors pop, and the Blade Runners (Sting & Ultimate Warrior) making their first appearance. They break down the Iron Claw movie, Stone Cold's glass-shattering religious experience at WrestleMania, and why the Freebirds' “Bad Street U.S.A.” entrance song still slaps harder than anything today. Listener calls and texts spark a heated Mount Rushmore debate—Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and Ric Flair get the nods, with honorable mentions flying for Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Andre the Giant, Ted DiBiase, Macho Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Steiner Brothers, Rock & Roll Express, and more. Pure nostalgia, belly laughs, and “you had to be there” tales from two lifelong marks who still mark out when that glass breaks. If you grew up on Saturday morning Mid-South, Memphis, or World Class, this hour is for you.

In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie and Nikki sit down with the endlessly charismatic Josh Segarra to talk wrestling dreams, Broadway roots, dad life, and his latest role in Fox's Best Medicine. From starring in Abbott Elementary, She-Hulk, Scream 6, and The Other Two, to lighting up the stage on Broadway in On Your Feet, Josh has truly done it all, and somehow still makes time for school pickups and rehearsal at 4:30. We love a working dad king!Of course, we had to dive into his wrestling fandom. Josh shares how he grew up idolizing the Ultimate Warrior and why he'd absolutely say yes if WWE ever called. We're already fantasy booking Sheriff Mark with handcuffs at ringside to help The Bellas snag those tag titles. Manifestation activated! And when it comes to comedy, Josh opens up about sharpening his tools on Broadway, honoring great writing, and how the best laughs often come from truth, not improv. He also gets candid about rejection, jealousy, overthinking, and dealing with online hate, dropping wisdom that honestly feels like its own form of best medicine.Between talk of Chinese food therapy, Frosty-and-fries debates, and heartfelt reflections on fatherhood, this episode is funny, grounded, and unexpectedly inspiring. Josh reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, that overthinking is usually fiction we write in our own heads, and that sometimes the best cure is turning off the noise and going home to the people who love you. So whether you need a laugh, a pep talk, or just a reminder that you're doing better than you think, you're going to want to press play. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
