    King Me, Rev's Hype Podcast with Gunner Moody

    Welcome to the King Me Revs Hype Podcast, the ultimate destination where we blend the raw intensity of professional wrestling with the real-life journeys, struggles, and triumphs that make the wrestlers who they are. Hosted by Christopher from Burlington, Massachusetts, this podcast delivers high-energy discussions, insider insights, and unfiltered conversations about the indie wrestling scene and beyond. In this special episode, filmed in October 2025, we sat down with Gunner Moody—one-half of the reigning APW Tag Team Champions (Atlantic Pro Wrestling) alongside his partner Jason Maverick. Together, they form the dominant duo known as the Sons of the South (also called Dynamite Death Squad in some circles), a hard-hitting team that captured the APW Tag Team Championships at Super Summer Smash IV and have been defending them fiercely ever since. The interview captures Gunner at the peak of his momentum, fresh off a commanding singles victory over Maestro Morey that highlighted his signature blend of raw Southern power, precision strikes, and unbreakable focus. We dive into his rise in the Northeast indie circuit, training at spots like the New England Pro Wrestling Academy, and competing across promotions including APW, Lucky Pro Wrestling, and others. Key topics covered include: His Southern roots and redneck pride — Growing up in the heart of Dixie shaped his tough, no-nonsense style (check out his Instagram @redneck_moody24 for that authentic vibe), influencing everything from his powerhouse moves like suplexes and lariats to his real-life resilience through injuries, setbacks, and personal battles. The formation and success of the Sons of the South — How Gunner and Jason Maverick went from rivals throwing hands in street fights to trusted brothers-in-arms, relying on trust, complementary skills (his brute strength paired with Jason's explosive energy), and off-ring bonds like gym sessions and barbecues to stay unstoppable in the tag division. Championship dominance and recent highlights — Reflections on winning the gold, defending the titles (including retainals at events like "Where Legends Are Made" in September 2025), the thrill of being top dogs in APW, and what it takes to fend off challengers in one of the Northeast's hottest indie scenes. Life beyond the ring — Wrestling as an escape and a grind, the importance of family, overcoming adversity, and the passion that keeps him pushing forward in a demanding industry. The future outlook — Momentum heading into late 2025, potential dream matches, and staying hungry amid the chaos of indie wrestling.
