  • One bad bastage

    Dutch might not remember anything, but he’s still more entertaining than many other podcasters. That old bastage alongside James’ natural “lovable” assholiness is a marriage that is easy on the ears!

  • The best wrestling podcast

    The last man standing for me is Dutch. Where others have shown their ignorance on past and current events, Dutch has always been a gentleman. He shares his opinion but knows how to put out just enough that he never sounds stupid. James is awesome and is not afraid to attack the business when it’s necessary. Clear and concise Dutch and James keep it on point and relevant. Great job guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask Dutch Anything 117 | Greatest Comedy Wrestlers
Q: Ian asks about Burt Prentice and his Tennessee-era promoting style; what memories stand out about him?
Dutch recalls Burt Prentice as a hard-working promoter who invested heavily in promoting shows—living in the town for a week, engaging local media, and running independent events that drew strong crowds for good pay, especially when he could bring in a name act.
Ask Dutch Anything 115 | The Most Unreliable Wrestlers
Q: Does Dutch have any stories about Buddy Landell in Puerto Rico?
Mantell describes Landell as talented but unreliable, often missing shows; the travel and personal issues made Landell a problematic hire, yet he recalls some positive experiences when he showed up and performed.
Ask Dutch Anything 116 | Lawler's Ridiculous Title Reigns
Q: Does Dutch think WWE could possibly fold since TKO have raised prices and are getting rid of lots of WWE superstars?
Dutch believes WWE is unlikely to fold in the foreseeable future; the enterprise structure, profits, and long-standing market position make a collapse improbable, though he notes internal financial and contractual shifts can complicate growth.
Ask Dutch Anything 114 | The Worst Match Ever - Zeus vs Abdullah The Butcher
Q: John from Pleasant Hill, Missouri asks how different promotions structured matches and why some shows were heavy on interviews and squash, while others were more match-focused.
Dutch discussed booking philosophy, emphasizing the importance of main events to keep viewers watching, the challenge of pacing across segments, and how different territories experimented with formats to maximize TV time and live attendance.
Ask Dutch Anything 114 | The Worst Match Ever - Zeus vs Abdullah The Butcher
Q: Next question, Bogdan from Kiev. Mr. Dutch, what is your opinion on Nelson Frazier, aka Viscera, aka Big Daddy V, aka King Mabel?
Dutch explained that Frazier was often booked as the muscle in partnerships and needed strong teammates to carry matches; he noted health problems and limited mobility affecting his in-ring dynamics, and suggested that his size limited his longevity but his character and presence were assets when paired with the right storyline.
