  • The best

    If you appreciate knowledge, humor and radio discipline then this is your guy. I’ve only been listening to WMVP for 17 years so my knowledge is limited so I recommend finding out yourself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

J-Hood and Darius Brockett- NFL Draft inside, out
Q: Tell everyone where they can find you and your work on Brockettology.
You can find me everywhere at Brockett Media, with articles on LinkedIn under Darius Brockett, and the Brockettology material across Brockett Media channels.
J-Hood with WWE Legend D-Lo Brown
Q: What's your take on Ober Femi and the idea of a SummerSlam/Roman Reigns clash?
Ober Femi has the potential to be a next big star, but pairing him with Roman this soon might be too soon; the timing and finish would need to be carefully crafted to protect both characters while maximizing the audience's investment.
J-Hood with WWE Legend D-Lo Brown
Q: Can you share some WrestleMania-week highlights and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's role in that landscape?
WrestleMania week was a whirlwind with appearances across WrestleCon, Maple Leaf Pro, and other venues; Maple Leaf is growing by bringing in established names and collaborating with other promotions, creating dream matches that fans love while developing Canadian talent.
J-Hood with WWE Legend D-Lo Brown
Q: What were your thoughts on the Bears' draft and how it impacts the team this season?
I think it was almost a great draft with solid pieces, but the lack of a proven edge rushing presence and the heavy focus on offense could limit the defense's upside unless the new players step up; overall, the secondary could be strong if the D-line can pressure the quarterback.
L_A versus Space 4/29/26
Q: So Mo, if you're going to give your odds or your picks, what stands out to you when placed in the show? How are you betting it?
Mo highlights value bets and box strategies, advocating for a structured approach (box four horses, across-the-board bets) to balance risk and reward, while acknowledging the need to identify horses with distance capability and strong training lineage.
