Wrestling Podcast About Nothing

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett have done so much podcasting that we're sure you haven't heard all of it. That's why this week, we're sharing some of our absolute best stuff from when we were doing two shows a week for BDA Radio. First, it's our Favorite Enhancement Talent - yes, the "jobbers" as some call them. We grew up on those Saturday morning squashes, so this one holds a special place in our heart. Then, we break down the Best and Worst Entrance Themes in pro wrestling history! So much fun doing these segments back in the day - if you haven't heard these gems, they're new to you! Plus, an all-time CLASSIC Promo About Nothing, we got voicemail and Brian hopes "Romeo" Roma skips this one!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett grew up as wrestling fans, and wrestling fans love their toys. This week, we're talking all about wrestling figures - NOT DOLLS, figures - and joining us is the man behind the @flexcollects Instagram account, the former Flex Rumblecrunch, our old pal Sean Burke! From the WWF LJNs, to the WWE Mattels, and everything in between, we're sharing our memories of these awesome collectibles. Along the way, we'll get into rubber weapons, moon bellies, vibrating action and a ton more! Plus, we follow up on everything regarding last week's smash hit tribute song to ring announcer Bobby Cruise! Also, a dandy of a Promo About Nothing, a panty raid, and a WWE NXT star puts Milonas on blast!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas has mysteriously vanished, so referee Mike Crockett has gone to his officiating brethren to fill his shoes! ROH head referee Todd "Fatpants" Sinclair is back on the podcast after a long break, and live to tape from the New England Pro Wrestling Academy, we reminisce about all the famous talent that passed through that building over the years. Speaking of buildings, we also get into Todd's perspective on working Madison Square Garden in April, plus his thoughts on the departure of The Elite from Ring Of Honor, fellow ref Paul Turner's exit and the next generation of ROH referees, the role of a senior official, and Todd shares a very personal story of a time something happened to his "Fatpants" during a match! And if that isn't enough, Todd Sinclair brings us the WORLD PREMIERE of a brand-new Bobby Cruise song! Also this week, a practiced Promo About Nothing, we talk about underwear and hot legs, and did The Bouncers failing to win the titles in Lowell force

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett have booked wrestling, and they've booked some good wrestling... and they've booked some god awful wrestling. This week, we are looking back at some of the worst stuff we put out there as bookers of an independent organization. What returning tag team's music caused the crowd to go "huh?" How does a woman with a broken arm keep her cast so bright and clean? What happened after Milonas hit a whoopie cushion and his knee made a fart noise? Get the answers to these odd questions and more as we talk BAD BOOKING! Plus, it's a fan-favorite segment's long-awaited return - Mike finds the weirdest wrestler listings in the year 2000s PWI 500, and makes up a few too, and we see if The BrawlKing can tell the difference - it's Fake Or 500! Also in this episode, a Promo About Nothing where the rap is crap, panties on our website (?), and we shine the spotlight on a bunch of local guys making good!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are wrestling documentary guys. In fact, we talked about our favorites in episode 160! We've just seen a great new doc called "350 Days" and now we're speaking with executive producer and director of the film, Fulvio Cecere. The movie explores the highs and lows of the territory days through interviews with major names from the era. Fulvio has some major stars involved like Bret Hart, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Tito Santana and so many more, and we detail some of the jaw-dropping things they said about the fast times of the 1980s in particular. As an actor, did Fulvio relate to the talent he was speaking with? What was one of the most shocking lines uttered in "350 Days" (and it has to do with...lines)? And we talk about the never-before-seen strange-as-hell footage of the legendary Killer Kowalski that turns up in the movie! Go to 350daysthemovie.com for details on how you can see this amazing document

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett took a break in between episodes of "Stranger Things" on Netflix, and the Mind Flayer forced us to record a podcast about the Strangest Things we can think of in pro wrestling!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas is without referee Mike Crockett once again, so the permanent guest host of the WPAN, the owner of Chaotic Wrestling and owner/head trainer of the New England Pro Wrestling Academy Brian Fury (@xbrianxfuryx) steps in to help take an interesting look at his trainees. Recorded from the Academy during training, we grill three of Fury's students as they begin their pro wrestling journeys.

Then we hear from Jason Peppe, a former MMA fighter who entered last week's Chaotic Countdown under the name Alejandro. Finally, we talk with Anthony Brogna, a touring rapper in a previous life, who has begun making waves in Chaotic and elsewhere as Royce Bishop of Killanova Inc.

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett take you to the movies this week - not to Endgame, because Crockett went over the weekend - but we're gonna do the Siskel & Ebert gimmick with wrestling documentaries! There's some great stuff out there right now, and we'll break that down too, but we are looking back at the all-time greatest docs out there: WWE produced stuff, independently produced features, even mainstream commercial pictures. Which WWE doc might have been the first and is probably the best? What little-known film about a comedian is a stellar wrestling doc pick? Who is the Vince McMahon of backyard wrestling? And finally, which wrestling documentaries are Mike & Brian's number one picks? Also, Brian The Brawler shares his travel story as he tried to get to Grand Rapids for Ring Of Honor in one piece!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett have done a lot of podcasting - just about three years' worth, in fact - and a lot of it, you may have missed. This week, we're sharing some of the personal tales we told on our companion podcast for BDA Radio in 2017, and if you haven't listened to those gems, it's new to you! First, Milonas recounts his very first day at the Chaotic Training Center (now the New England Pro Wrestling Academy) and why he almost stopped before he even really started. Then, we've both had the opportunity to book angles for Chaotic Wrestling and we reveal the worst stuff we ever booked! And finally, we admit, they haven't all been winners - the worst matches we've ever been involved in! Join us as we bare our souls AGAIN on the WPAN.

"Truckin' Thru The Territories" brings us back to the States and Detroit's Big Time Wrestling from 1978! This show will answer the questions, "What does a lock-up tell you about a match?" and "Can a noogie get over in the late 70s?" Plus, we'll get into the unaswered questions of, "Were the Funks born 40 years old?", "What's Phillip Seymour Hoffman doing at Detroit TV?", "What the hell is collegiate wrestling doing on a pro wrestling show?" and "Why in God's name are your Big Time announcers INSIDE A STEEL CAGE?!?"
