Perhaps as early as the 1950s steroids have been part of professional wrestling. When the trend in wrestling was to have larger than life real life action figures as the focus more so than traditional wrestling lots of wrestlers turned to steroids to help them achieve that look. Due to lack of knowledge or simple desire to get bigger at any cost, many wrestlers shortened their very lives due to over use and abuse of steroids. Accusations of steroid distributing nearly ruined Vince McMahon and his company in the 90s. As we learned more and more about the dangers of steroids and once they became illegal the wrestling business was thought to clean up from years of steroid problems. Did it? What are the lasting effects on the business? We'll discuss the steroid problem with a variety of people within the business and see what they have to say.

At one time in the 1980s Billy Jack Haynes was one of the biggest stars in the sport. He became an absolute legend in Portland and worked all over the country for every top promotion. By the time the 90s had hit Billy Jack had taken several steps down the ladder. He was wrestling sporadically for small promotions, he was working for drug runners, and he had lost his fortune that he made in the 80s. By the time the 2000s hit and shoot interviews were big, Billy Jack Haynes started saying very controversial things. He had several conspiracy stories and would often seem to ramble. Then in early 2024 tragedy struck as police in Oregon arrested Billy for the murder of his wife. We are going to bring in some people from the wrestling community to talk about what this tragedy means not only for Billy, but potentially for the whole sport. Join us as we look at the tragic fall from grace from one of wrestling's most well known stars.

We're going to get to the bottom of this rivalry and see what John has to say. John is always outspoken so we never know what will be said so join us and find out where the interview leads.

The professional wrestling world was rocked in early 2024 when news of the lawsuit and potential federal investigation against Vince McMahon was revealed to the world. Never has there been a more polarizing and more important person in the wrestling industry. To have someone as associated to the sport as Vince McMahon be ran out of the company he created twice might make this the single biggest scandal to ever happen in wrestling. It is not even the first scandal that has hit McMahon over the years. We'll sit down with some people within the wrestling circles and discuss what the ramifications could be for our sport and what it might, ultimately, mean for Vince McMahon's legacy. You'll want to tune in and hear what everyone has to say about the scandal so far.
