2023/04/19

It's our first all "Existential Question of the Week" episode, featuring the stars of 1CW Wrestling! It was in 1993 that the man, the myth, the Meat Loaf launched a mystery of modern music that would haunt a generation via his legendary power ballad: "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I won't Do That)" But what? What won't he do? Where is the line drawn? What is the one deed, the one act, the one step too far that not even this love, this operatic melodramatic, sexy piano laden love can justify? We

This is a can't miss episode and one of the most compelling, intimate, and fascinating conversations in show history as Jason's 1CW WRESTLING Broadcast Partner MIKE FRESH joins the show for a trip to the Philadelphia outpost of the Museum of Illusions. The attraction is interesting enough on it's own - filled with immersive examples and explanations of illusions of all sorts. Mike's story is the real focus, though. He shares what it was like growing up in, and then eventually leaving, a cult; being

Welcome to Norwood Massachusetts, where we continue our ongoing "Talking to Pro Wrestlers in a Bowling Alley" series, but with a twist! Forget regular, boring old ten pin - Candlepin Bowling is a hyper regional specific Bowling variation located along the northeast, starting from Nova Scotia and heading down towards Providence, Rhode Island. And we're going to try it for the very first time! Of course we can't go bowling without a wrestler, so we have with us, coming straight from the gym, "True
