A pro wrestler and a referee tear down the curtain to the wrestling business, and tear down each other in the process. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Happy Festivus! Former Ring Of Honor wrestler "Kingpin" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett return after nearly TWO YEARS to catch up on Brian's post-ROH life. This one was a long time in the making, but FINALLY Milonas can give the true scoop on his entire run with Ring Of Honor, before the company shut down and Tony Khan purchased it. Hear The Kingpin's true thoughts on his early days working show-to-show, being "Bruiser Jr.", The Elite exodus, false starts on pushes, the awkward transition of power to Marty Scurll, the ROH Bubble, his weight gain, an embarrassing match performance, finding his voice, the Zoom call to end it all and last call at Final Battle 2021. Also, his feelings on Bully/Bubba Ray, Austin Aries, Matt Taven, the Briscoes, Greg "The Office Guy", Session Moth Martina and many, many more!
Plus, Brian's rock bottom and his personal battle to get sober.
Two and a half hours of raw, unedited conversation between two old podcasting pals! Thanks for listening, and thanks for nothing!

And as a bit of a pre-celebration for next week's 200th episode, he's sharing some classic clips of his good friend Crockett at (what he says is) his absolute worst, including two of the most infamous one-time bits in WPAN history! But before the burial, The Brawler addresses some controversy after a clip of him from last week's NWA Powerrr episode began circulating in wrestling trainer circles!
Plus, Kingpin wants YOU to submit your Promos About Nothing, and he talks about the unfortunate passing of a New England wrestling mainstay over the weekend.

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas is hitting the highways, biways and airways, but Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury returns to join referee Mike Crockett for an interview with his oldest friend! Justin McIsaac (@Justin_McIsaac), known as Justin Powers or Justin Shaype in the ring, went to high school with Fury and their careers started down the same path, but ended up going in very different directions. We talk about their backyard days, Justin training with Jeff "Lobsterman" Costa, their falling out, being British, NECW, refusing to cooperate in the ring with Slyck Wagner Brown, the Cyberspace Wrestling Federation, becoming Justin Shaype in WFA, why he lost a retirement match, pulling a Fury and coming back for Maverick Wild's Front Row Wrestling, his start in radio, how wrestling prepared him for broadcasting and so much more!
Plus, this Promo About Nothing is stinkeeee, Brian talks about his third visit to WWE's Performance Center, and the rollercoaster of good news/bad news heading into Chaotic's biggest season!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett kick it old school without Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury this week, and "old school" is our friend Adult Mark's middle name (a weird, two-word middle name, incidentally), so he steps in for our look back at what was the gateway to pro wrestling super fandom back in the day - wrestling magazines! But before we do that, The Brawler recounts in spoiler-free detail his journey to Atlanta for the recent NWA Powerrr tapings, where he debuted alongside his tag team partner the Beer City Bruiser! Hear about his unnecessary Uber ride, who he refused to get in the front seat of the car with, and with which legendary wrestlers he rocked-and-rolled (almost) all night!
Also in this episode, Brian checks out on this Promo About Nothing, Crockett's pillow talk, and we do a little apartment wrestling for fun!

Milonas called in a favor, and we've got ROH's play-by-play man Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) with us - a guy who made his official debut as lead announcer the same night Brian made his initial ROH appearance! Ian gets into inheriting the announcing mantle from Kevin Kelly, his participation in the upcoming RetroMania Wrestling video game, what goes into preparing for an event, directing traffic in the booth at Madison Square Garden last year (and the history he personally made there), his wrestling debut and the flying elbow heard 'round the world, his Ring Of Honor outlook for 2020, and his new podcast featuring ROH Ambassador Cary Silkin!

He's a former trainer at the original school, the Chaotic Training Center, where he put young Kingpin through the paces back in the day. He's Dukes Dalton, AKA Jim Cody, AKA Annihilator Seek, AKA Dancing Dukes, AKA Kid Delicious, and we talk a little bit about everything he went through in his career. Dukes participated in WWF developmental before there was a developmental system - being around guys like Val Venis, Edge and Kurt Angle at the Funkin' Dojo shows in the late 90s. He also had a stint in the lean years of the NWA as one-half of its World tag Team Champions, and wait to you hear what they went through to try to keep the belts! Hear tons of stories about Killer Kowalski, plus JBL grabbing junk, chasing John Cena out of the building, Isaac Yankem's bathroom break-in and more! A great talk with an old chum!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas is buried in boxes at the moment, so Chaotic Wrestling's "Firebrand" Brian Fury used this opportunity to take over the podcast from referee Mike Crockett! What was supposed to be a NXT & AEW review show became a confrontation - an intervention of sorts - where Fury gets to the bottom of Crockett's lack of enthusiasm for today's wrestling product. What is Mike's actual position on the current scene, and can Brian help turn him around? A really interesting discussion on what we grew up with and how it relates to what we see on our TV and in the arenas today. From there, Crocksox looks for revenge by challenging Fury to a game of "Fake Or 500"!
Plus, this Promo About Nothing is about other people's property, Fury returns to the ring (again) this Friday, and our feud with Kofi Kingston & The New Day begins!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett, sans Brian Fury, are taking a long, hard look at the recent controversies in the wrestling business and how they have blown up on social media. Starting with Saudi Arabia, and the affect "Wrestling Twitter" had on accelerating this story (or non-story?) to astronomical levels. Also the situation with Jordan Myles/ACH, who made headlines by taking WWE to task through his own social media accounts. And one that's close to Brian, the deal with Joey Mercury exposing some of ROH's business on Twitter. Has social media helped or hurt pro wrestling? What affect has the recent wrestling boom had on wrestling talent in regards to their public opinions? Is there any good to come from online wrestling chatter?

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett, the WPAN originals, are without Brian Fury this week and instead are talking wrestling figures with the Chief Marketing Officer of independent toy maker Figures Toy Company, Chris DePetrillo! FTC is the company behind Ring Of Honor's action figure line, so I think you can connect the dots on why Milonas wanted to have him on. But really, Chris is a lifelong wrestling fan who has a great story of how he found his way into a job playing with toys. Figures Toy Company not only produces an ROH line, but works with independent talent and wrestling legends to get figures made of them as well! Chris takes us through the entire process, from signing a talent to a contract to product release. Plus, Brian begs to get a Brawler action figure, how they were able to do a figure of WCW's KISS Demon, and the story of the Kevin Steen/Owens figure that sent Vince McMahon through the roof!
Also in this episode, this Promo About Nothing is a car crash (literally, but not literally), Crockett designs podcast t-shirts (just not ours), and The Brawler is bilingual?

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas, Chaotic Wrestling's "Firebrand" Brian Fury and referee Mike Crockett are celebrating Halloween by talking about the super good and SCARY bad costume changes in wrestling's history - in other words, the business' best and worst gimmick changes! For example, Hunter Hearst Helmsley's transition to Triple H could be categorized as one of the best - but what do Mike and the two Brians have on their lists? There's talk of the Brothers of Destruction, one of the Brothers Hardy, a Jive Soul Bro and so many more! What's your favorite or least favorite change of gimmick?
Plus, this Promo About Nothing isn't magnificent, Milonas hates talking on his phone, and Fury disappears!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are long-time veterans of the podcasting mat wars. That's why in this episode, we're showcasing some killer content from the BDA Radio days that we're betting you haven't heard before. First, take a listen as we recall the Weirdest Venues we've ever seen independent wrestling performed in. Some LITERAL outlaw mudshow stuff. Then, we take you step-by-step through A Day In The Life Of A WWE Extra, back when they were herded in like cattle and treated like dirt. If you're one of the many that missed the BDA bonus days, this is new to you!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas' situation is addressed this week, and referee Mike Crockett and Brian Fury (@xbrianxfuryx) have a MAJOR, MONUMENTAL, EARTH-SHATTERING ANNOUNCEMENT! You gotta hear this to believe it. Once that is over with, in the aftermath or wrestling returning to TNT (and we give our initial thoughts on All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite), we look back at WCW Monday Nitro - The Good, The Bad & The Nothing! From the big things like the New World Order and Sting, to the obscure crap like the fake Tonight Show and bizzaro Hulk Hogan, we talk about stuff we loved, stuff we hated, and stuff that just didn't amount to anything when it comes to World Championship Wrestling in the mid to late 90s!
Plus, this Promo About Nothing is not Dragon, we get side-tracked by Jimmy Dean sausage, and Kizarny gets called out (WHAT?)!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas was bleeding buckets this past weekend, and referee Mike Crockett and Brian Fury (@xbrianxfuryx) are talking about it! Milonas made a (red) splash in his pay-per-view debut at ROH's Death Before Dishonor - his face a crimson mask as he battled in a Barroom Brawl alongside his Bouncers partner the Beer City Bruiser against Vinny Marseglia & Silas Young. Find out why this was a most surprising turn of events for our old outspoken pal! We also discuss the end of Matt Taven's much-maligned title reign and why some rejected it. From there, we review the new wrestling calendar and the New Era of Televised Wrestling we are entering this week. We'll analyze each day of the week and what you can expect from RAW on USA, Smackdown on FOX, Impact Wrestling on AXS, AEW Dynamite on TNT, NXT on USA, Beyond Wrestling's Uncharted Territory on IndependentWrestling.TV, plus MLW, New Japan, WOW and more!
Also this week, this Promo About Nothing is sheety, an update on Crockett's blast from the past, and A MAJOR, MONUMENTAL, EARTH-SHATTERING ANNOUNCEMENT comes next week!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas has his name here for no reason really, as referee Mike Crockett and Brian Fury (@xbrianxfuryx) harken back to the olden days of the WPAN and Episode 048, The Name Droppers! In that episode, we talked about interesting run-ins we've had with the well-known stars of pro wrestling. Now, some two-and-a-half years later, Fury is sharing some of his tales of rubbing elbows with the legends - and contributing as well is a podcaster in his own right (just not currently) and the former Chaotic Wrestling owner Jamie Jamitkowski (@JamieJUCW)! Hear about how Greg Valentine prepares for a match, which wrestler roams around middle school classrooms naked, more toe talk with Tony Atlas, why Jamie was keeping tabs on Sunny, what everyone wants (that Fury doesn't), what caused John Cena to walk out of a Chaotic show after one match, how Ricky Morton feels about Jerry Lynn's spots, why Big Show lectured a guy at baggage claim and so much more! Many names are dropped and you'll love every minute of it!
Plus, this Promo About Nothing is hung over, Crockett's past comes back to haunt him, and everyone's career is over in Woburn, MA!

We chat with the former "Thriller Of New England" about the Michael Jackson gimmick he started with and why it took him so long to shed it, how Crockett's amazing idea for Christian went south, repping that Killanova Culture, working with REY MYSTERIO, getting spots on ROH and EVOLVE shows in the span of a week, and so much more!

It's been over a year since we've reviewed a pay-per-view with Tarzan, and with the King Of The Ring being revived in 2019, we figure why not take a peek back at one of the most reviled KOTR shows from 1995!

In fact, this Saturday, August 31st is one of the Academy's Fantasy Camps (email neprowrestling@hotmail.com for info), where you can start your wrestling journey, or just try it out for the day with no strings attached. Fury takes us through the entire day - what is expected of participants, what is taught by the trainers - it's basically a crash course in sports entertainment. If you've ever wanted to step in the ring just once, or wanted to give a go at something more, this is the episode for you!

So I guess it's time to talk about it! Not only that, but we have our ears to the ground with independent wrestling and have seen back and forth battles between promotions at the local level then and now. Our guests this week have observed it, and been in the thick of it too - Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury (@xbrianxfuryx) and the New England Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame's Sonny Goodspeed! We review some of the tactics that unscrupulous promoters will use when "invading" enemy territory. Plus, we get into the local feud that caused some waves last week, we recall usurpers coming to town and challenging our home promotion, Sonny opening a school in his old trainer's backyard, and a whole lot more!

First, it's our Favorite Enhancement Talent - yes, the "jobbers" as some call them. We grew up on those Saturday morning squashes, so this one holds a special place in our heart. Then, we break down the Best and Worst Entrance Themes in pro wrestling history! So much fun doing these segments back in the day - if you haven't heard these gems, they're new to you!

ROH head referee Todd "Fatpants" Sinclair is back on the podcast after a long break, and live to tape from the New England Pro Wrestling Academy, we reminisce about all the famous talent that passed through that building over the years. Speaking of buildings, we also get into Todd's perspective on working Madison Square Garden in April, plus his thoughts on the departure of The Elite from Ring Of Honor, fellow ref Paul Turner's exit and the next generation of ROH referees, the role of a senior official, and Todd shares a very personal story of a time something happened to his "Fatpants" during a match! And if that isn't enough, Todd Sinclair brings us the WORLD PREMIERE of a brand-new Bobby Cruise song!
Also this week, a practiced Promo About Nothing, we talk about underwear and hot legs, and did The Bouncers failing to win the titles in Lowell force The Brawler into hiding?

This week, we are looking back at some of the worst stuff we put out there as bookers of an independent organization. What returning tag team's music caused the crowd to go "huh?" How does a woman with a broken arm keep her cast so bright and clean? What happened after Milonas hit a whoopie cushion and his knee made a fart noise? Get the answers to these odd questions and more as we talk BAD BOOKING! Plus, it's a fan-favorite segment's long-awaited return - Mike finds the weirdest wrestler listings in the year 2000s PWI 500, and makes up a few too, and we see if The BrawlKing can tell the difference - it's Fake Or 500!

We've just seen a great new doc called "350 Days" and now we're speaking with executive producer and director of the film, Fulvio Cecere. The movie explores the highs and lows of the territory days through interviews with major names from the era. Fulvio has some major stars involved like Bret Hart, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Tito Santana and so many more, and we detail some of the jaw-dropping things they said about the fast times of the 1980s in particular. As an actor, did Fulvio relate to the talent he was speaking with? What was one of the most shocking lines uttered in "350 Days" (and it has to do with...lines)? And we talk about the never-before-seen strange-as-hell footage of the legendary Killer Kowalski that turns up in the movie! Go to 350daysthemovie.com for details on how you can see this amazing documentary!

Recorded from the Academy during training, we grill three of Fury's students as they begin their pro wrestling journeys. First, it's Brad Lewis, a collegiate wrestler who made his pro debut recently as Charlie Cashew. Yes, Charlie Cashew. Then we hear from Jason Peppe, a former MMA fighter who entered last week's Chaotic Countdown under the name Alejandro. Finally, we talk with Anthony Brogna, a touring rapper in a previous life, who has begun making waves in Chaotic and elsewhere as Royce Bishop of Killanova Inc. In this episode, you'll get some amazing insight on the early stages of a pro wrestling career that us grizzled vets can't give you!

Hear about his run-ins with Greg Valentine, Tony Atlas, Mario Mancini, Tatanka, Gary Michael Cappetta, the Four Horsemen, and his new best friend, Paul "Romeo" Roma! Then, from there, we look at the vast sea of pro wrestling schools in the New England area - from the days of Killer Kowalski's Institute of Professional Wrestling to the tons of training facilities today that probably owe a debt of gratitude to the Killer!

Hear about Morty Seinfeld on commentary, a referee so fast he counts to 4, Ab-DULL-ah the Faker, the heeliest of heels doing heel stuff, and the Whiz in a mask, plus Milonas getting reacquainted with his old manager Ox Baker, Dick and Nick, awful in-ring action and non-finishes galore!
Also this week, this Promo About Nothing is your daddy, Brian on AEW's first effort and we're getting Brawl Daddy over!
