The FINAL Broski of the Week! (I hope)

FULL DISCLOSURE! I never watched Z! True Long Island Story when it was first coming out. In fact, I was not watching much professional wrestling at the time, if at all. While I had heard the name Zack Ryder before, my first introduction to Matt Cardona came from E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness. Hearing Edge and Christian refuse to have Broski on the show endeared him to me, and finding out about the then debuting Major Wrestling Figure Podcast piqued my interest even further. Since then, I’ve become a #MajorMark 4-LIFE! So, of course I was HYPED to find out that Matt was starting a podcast dedicated to his revolutionary YouTube series. Watching MC-TLIS has been a pleasure to follow along with 10 years later, week-to-week. and I can’t wait to hear what comes next. Shooting my shot to become the FINAL Broski of the Week, because like my hero Matt Cardona, you just have to stay ALWAYZ READY and bet on yourself.

Take a chance

Just like Z! True Long Island Story, we were taught to take chances on ourselves . We either get noticed or don’t get used. My goal is to be the last ever Broski of the Week. I will either get noticed and win or I won’t be Broski of the Week at all. MC! has been an amazing trip down memory lane and I’ve loved the behind the scenes look at the greatest internet sensation in the wrestling business. True Story.

Take Your Shot

MCTLIS is the perfect snack size recap and behind the scenes look at the groundbreaking and inspiring ZTLIS. Take a shot. We all know the catch phrase “Alwayz Ready”, but for Matt it’s not just a saying on some merch, he lives and breathes it. While there is only one shot to be the last Broski of the week, Matt proves that in life everyday is a new shot. So set a goal. Bet on yourself. If someone tells you no, try again! Prove the haters wrong and more importantly prove your supporters right. Follow your dreams. Always be ready. And if all else fails, just take care…and spike your hair. Woo woo woo you know it!
