2021/02/17

In this episode, I welcome a truly amazing guest! I had the chance to talk to former WWF and ECW superstar Nancy Ann Jones, better known as 'Paris'. From being discovered by the legendary Pat Patterson and trained by the one-and-only 'Sensational' Sherri Martel, to competing in the ring against the likes of Wendy Richter and Fabulous Moolah and even managing guys like Raven, 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka and King Kong Bundy - Nancy sure has some stories to share and pulls no punches as she recalls only

So it's January, and for wrestling fans...you know what that means? It's 'Royal Rumble' season! One of my favourite PPV events of the wrestling year gets it's own episode here, as I put together what would be my perfect Royal Rumble event, taking my favourite matches from all points of the card across my favourite Rumble events from the golden era!

What better way to kick off 2021 than with an absolutely cracking special guest! In this episode, I welcome Nick Masci. As well as being a self-professed wrestling fanatic, Nick is also an author and gets to fulfil many wrestling fan's dreams on a regular basis by getting to spend time with the legends of yesteryear as part of his role as a vendor and 'booker' in his own right, with his own company 'Captain's Corner'.

2020/10/20

Quite possibly one of the most hotly-debated years in pro wrestling, but all for the wrong reasons! Many believe 1995 to be the worst in terms of content, but again this year holds a lot of warm memories for me growing up as a wrestling fan. WWF seemed to just be trying everything they could to evolve by positioning previous mid-card guys at the top, switching titles, multiple face/heel turns and introducing many, many new names that cluttered the mid- and lower-card. And most

Ep. 5 - 1994: The New Generation Cometh

Once Upon A Turnbuckle ·

2020/09/02

Ah, 1994. One of my favourite years to reminisce about as a wrestling fan. In this show, I recall my favourite moments and angles from this year and attempt to explain why the breaking of a brotherhood bond helped make this wrestling year so memorable for me. Especially when compared to what was going down on the 'other channel' at the time... Enjoyed this episode?

2020/08/26

An extra-special episode as I get to chat to a bona fide WWF wrestling legend, someone who I grew up watching on TV as a kid. Ladies and Gentlemen, there'll be no trash-talkin' as I sit down with Mike 'Duke The Dumpster' Droese! I had an absolute blast talking to this guy and hearing him share stories of his life's epic highs and lows, from THAT appearance on Jerry Lawler's 'King's Court', to working with Triple-H and riding along with Steve Austin. What was planned for his heel turn that never

This very special episode sees me welcome my first very special guest to the show, as I sat down and chat to UK indie wrestling star Tomas James Sky! I had such a blast talking to Tomas about how his career got started, how it has transformed into much more than just being an in-ring star, and also hear who he would love to lock up with in his own dream match! Be sure to follow Tomas and all the great things he is involved with in the wrestling world at any (or all) of the below! Facebook:

Ep. 2 - '92 & '93: My Top Ten Moments

Once Upon A Turnbuckle ·

2020/08/13

I hold the years 1992 and 1993 in high regard in my wrestling journey, for they were the first years that I first had the opportunity to "discover" the wrestling world for myself, where I was able to immerse myself in whatever media I could get my hands on to find out more about what was going on THEN, rather than rely on video tapes and magazines from 2, 3 or more years before. For this episode, I briefly run down my top ten moments, events, and angles that to this day still take me back to the

"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start." No, I'm not about to launch into song. But what better way to start off a podcast about my memories as a childhood wrestling fan than, well...to start off by talking about how I became a childhood wrestling fan! I was only seven years old (or was it four...?) and was completely unaware of what lay ahead after my first encounter with the WWF Royal Rumble 1989... Enjoyed this episode?
