    Episode 47 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ the esteemed Unkle of Beeks back for an extra special 'DOUBLE-HEADER' episode talking the 'Takayamania Empire' combo that was Minoru Suzuki vs Katsuyori Shibata & the totally heartwarming 'No-Time-Limit Emergency Match'  that was Suzuki vs Takayama. Two very unique matches that kind of transcend wrestling in a very special way. We talk all about these matches, Takayamania Empire III & some fond memories of the amazing man himself, Yoshihiro Takayama. We also talk a myriad of nonsense sidebars, from the VERY SPECIAL DAY that is Blue Panther's birthday, to diabetes testing, to the new Beetlejuice movie, to Dave Meltzer-isms, wrestling travels of days gone by & much more! In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I chat about the return of Wrestling Club at my local favourite bar, The Scratch, my latest commission art odds & ends & my upcoming little overseas trip.

    Episode 45 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ Best-Mate-David for another big ol' 'DOUBLE-HEADER' episode talking the two absolutely delightful matches that were the 'American Dragon', Bryan Danielson vs. 'Swerve' Strickland (for the AEW World Championship at Wembley Stadium) & an FMW ‘No Ropes Barbed Wire Current Mine Explosion Double Hell Time Bomb Tornado Death-Match’ with Terry Funk & Mr. Pogo vs Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka at the famed Kawasaki Stadium. Two admittedly slightly different matches, but I think they have their strange similarities too! David & I have a blast talking all about the matches, the art & a lot of nonsense.

    Wrestling Art Ep. 44 - Solo Edition

    Episode 44 is here pals! It's another 'special' little solo, mini edition of the show where I just talk to YOU. There were some bumps in the road of lining up this weeks' guest, so I figured why not let's you & I just have a bit of a one-sided chat? It was actually good timing in hindsight as I had some fun things take place this past week that I feel were very worthy of discussion. The highs & lows & general rollercoaster ride of trying to be a full-time illustrator/artist folks! I also chat about some exciting upcoming events through the latter part of 2024. Including a way-rad self portrait exhibition that I'll be taking part in & a fantastic-looking upcoming Brisbane solo show by friend-of-the-show & past Wrestling Art Curator guest, the crazy-talented Jonathan McBurnie! Consider this a fun little interlude monologue chat before we're back next week for more M.O.T.W. chats & then some 'Wrestling Art Curator' goodness! Enjoy!!

II" AND our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" w/ my dear pal, Bradley, talking the bloody GREAT G1 Climax match that was Zack Sabre Jr. vs Gabe Kidd!

A way fun little chat is had with the always thoughtful Bradley (who actually also did his own special version of the MOTW art which I've JUST shared in my insta story). In my intro monologue, I talk my latest happenings & get a little deep about the bumps in the road that we experience with this art stuff & how to overcome & keep chugging along. Enjoy!!

    Episode 41 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ Best-Mate-David for a 'DOUBLE-HEADER' episode talking the two absolutely wonderful matches that were Jushin 'Thunder' Liger vs Black Tiger (Mark 'Rollerball' Rocco) & the famed Terry Funk vs Jerry 'The King' Lawler 'Empty Arena Match' in Memphis.

    Wrestling Art Ep. 40 - WRESTLING-CLUB with Chris Things Debut Event Special Edition

    Episode 40 is here pals! It's a very special edition of the show; commemorating my big, recent 'WRESTLING-CLUB w/ Chris Things' debut event at Brewski last night! So I thought I'd bring you, my loyal listeners in to the 'club' as it were. I've tried my best to make this work in audio form. In today's episode, after catching y'all up on my recent comings & goings, we travel to my opening speech of the event, followed by some fun audio grabs from some of what was played on the evening. For future events, I'll endeavour to capture a bit more of that live audio magic of the evening. But as the first go-around I was just very chuffed all-round! Hope you enjoy this special edition of the show & I'll be back with some more 'M.O.T.W.' goodness next week. Enjoy!! ChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!
