Former WWE referees Brian Hebner and Jimmy Korderas dive deep into the wrestling business and it’s talent from the view of the 3rd man in the ring

    Wrestling's Band: Downstait

    Wrestling's Band: Downstait

    This week we have adrenaline in our soul as we welcome the very talented band Downstait.  Being together as a band since the early 2000s Downstait has become one of the most recognizable bands to produce some of the best wrestling themes of all time.  They set their goals high and have accomplished some of them but have a few that they still want to accomplish.  When Cody Rhodes left AEW to go to WWE there was many hoops to jump through to make sure Cody brought “Kingdom” with him to the company.  Finally, Zach and Sean give us a sample of their new single “Sleep” releasing everywhere you get music on July 3rd.  All this and so much more this week.

    The Living Angel of Wrestling

    The Living Angel of Wrestling

    It’s time to get Fabulous this week as we welcome one half of the Fabulous Rougeau’s, Raymond Rougeau to the show.  Growing up in the business training with his brother and father was tough enough as it was; but starting at such a young age was difficult as well.  Going up against men at the age of 16 was a daunting task he encountered where ever he went.  Starting in Quebec his ultimate goal was to make it to the WWF and really showcase his great ability.  When he retired at the age of 34 alot of people questioned him if he was really doing what he wanted to do.  He continues to speak about his time as a commentator in the WWE, Vince McMahon, and so many great stories the week and more!!!
