  • THE ANNOYING FIREFIGHTER GUY SHOW👎👎

    All this show consists of is the same three friends of the show(including some annoying dude from new york who talks for half the show about his life) who are just simple wrestling fans. The hosts of the show let these same guys talk for ninety percent of the show. I could see if it was a call in concept of a show but its the same guys every time. Dumb. Its also the one host promoting his events and stuff too, which is lame because not everyone lives by your store. Its an awesome idea for a podc... more

  • It’s 80s wrestling not an ISBW podcast right?

    It’s turned into so much talk about an indie promotion that I’m just not interested in. Could you please just make a podcast for that and keep this 80s wrestling content.

Missy Hyatt
Q: What was your approach to interviews and reacting to wrestlers on the spot?
Hyatt explains that she mostly reacted in the moment with bullet-point cues, and that she often improvised while maintaining the character instead of following scripted lines.
The Big Bossman with Lacy Traylor
Q: If they're pitched a story line, does he come to you guys and let you know that it's a work?
Lacy explains that during the Attitude era and later, she and her family understood the workflow; her father would clue them in to some aspects and they were aware of the blend of real life and storyline, especially when traveling and meeting fans.
Boris Zhukov
Q: What was it like being in the locker room with Hulk Hogan and being part of that match with Slick involved?
Zhukov describes Hulk Hogan as a great, approachable person and explains that in-ring psychology came together through instinct and crowd response, with Slick's involvement adding extra heat and dynamics to the match.
Bill "Ax" Eadie
Q: What made the 80s tag team scene special and why hasn't it been recaptured?
Bill attributes the magic to the era's top-tier teamwork, storytelling, and crowd engagement, saying that modern promotions often emphasize singles competition and that true tag team chemistry requires a dedicated, unified presentation that current promotions struggle to replicate.
Bill "Ax" Eadie
Q: What was it like working with Hulk Hogan on No Holds Barred and how did that shape your career?
Bill describes the all-day shoot that was completed quickly, with strong artistic direction from the team and Hogan, and notes it opened doors and broadened his exposure beyond traditional regional wrestling, contributing to his lasting legacy.
