Anthony and Kyle sit down with Chikara Pro and The Wrestle Factory founder, Mike Quackenbush. This is a totally different interview where we discuss the ideology of wrestling, the value of character development in wrestling, and so many more poignant thoughts about the art we all love - professional wrestling. Give this one a listen, we think it's an absolute gem.
Note: This episode was recorded and originally published PRIOR to the allegations against Mike Quackenbush and Chikara. We will soon be modifying this episode to tackle the subject of harassment, but Everything is Awesome (and more importantly I, Kevin M. Gallagher, Jr) believe the victims. Joining Kev today is the co-founder and owner of Chikara Pro Wrestling, Mike Quackenbush! The two briefly talk about their connection in 'Reckless Youth' Tom Carter before taking a deep dive into Chikara. Kev also presses into the history of Mike and writing several books (including his new one). Don't worry, there is also plenty of side conversation about comic books! ABOUT MIKE QUAKENBUSH Mike Quackenbush has a closet full of sparkly pants. …this is because he spent a number of years in the squared circle, performing in thousands of matches, and entertaining fans all over the globe. Along the way, he earned nicknames like “Lightning,” the “Ring Wizard,” and ultimately, “The Master of a Thousand Holds,” before retiring from the ring in 2013. Since 1994, he’s explored every avenue and aspect of the game. He’s authored books, written hundreds of articles for Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, Inside Wrestling and more; pioneered the use of video podcasting within the art form, and founded his own organization (CHIKARA) and training center (The Wrestle Factory). With all the downtime that leaves him, he teaches pro-wrestling multiple times a week, including traveling the planet to deliver his intensive performance seminars to organizations big and small; writes and produces live events, manages a touring ensemble, drinks too much coffee, and even accepts public speaking engagements. So, kids, that’s what “retirement” looks like. Among his strangest endeavors were a year-long trans-media and viral marketing experiment of his own design and execution, that yielded both a city-wide scavenger hunt and the red carpet premiere of the feature-length film, The Ashes of CHIKARA. While “The Master of a Thousand Holds” is no longer an active grappler, he remains the patriarch of the entire CHIKARA family, the head trainer of the Wrestle Factory, and is relentlessly pushing the pro-wrestling artform forward. He resides in Collegeville, PA where it should be noted, he keeps all his sparkly pants. ABOUT CHIKARA PRO WRESTLING CHIKARA: We believe pro-wrestling should be fun! That's why we make it for everyone!
