  • 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!

  • Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas flies solo! Referee Mike Crockett and the New England Pro Wrestling Academy's Brian Fury are both MIA, so Milonas is in the driver's seat this week. 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!

  • Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are without Performance Center regular Brian Fury this week, but they've done this before. 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! Plus, of course, burials of Bobby Cruise all around!

    Also in this episode, this Promo About Nothing is magnificent, the world's largest druid revealed, and Crockett has a run-in with SNOOP D-O-Double G!

  • Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas steps back in, joining the New England Pro Wrestling Academy's Brian Fury and referee Mike Crockett to follow up on last week's episode where we talked about what should be BANNED from wrestling forever. This week, we are giving you the things that we want to PLEASE COME BACK to pro wrestling! We pull from our past and share the stuff we think would enhance the viewing experience today. And not just moves, but cages, stages, and TV for all ages! Plus, "BrawlDaddy" weighs in on the recent developments in Ring Of Honor!

    Also this week, it's a pasta-packed Promo About Nothing, Pandemonium runs wild at Chaotic, and is "witticisms" a word?

  • Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas is out being honorable, so joining Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury and referee Mike Crockett is (possibly) the new permanent guest host Sonny Goodspeed! So, you know those sequences you've seen time and time again in matches? How about that finishing move that is just played out? What about the dangerous spots that no one should be doing? This week, we're calling for the retirement of these spots and moves! No more standoffs! We're done with all the dives! Just call us the superkick party poopers! In our little corner of the world, THEY'RE BANNED!

    Plus, this Promo About Nothing is a turkey, more of wrestling's biggest busts, and the Sarge makes news for his tallest tale of all!

  • Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas, the New England Pro Wrestling Academy's Brian Fury, and referee Mike Crockett are all about the busts! No no, not THOSE busts - wrestling's busts! C'mon, you know what we mean. Alright, what if we say FLOPS, will that work? Jesus, you can make anything sound dirty. Anyway, this week, we're looking at the BIGGEST BUSTS in wrestling history! Aren't you sorry it's audio only? Man, now you got ME doing it!

    Plus, this Promo About Nothing is wasted, we're mulling over the Mills deal, and Milonas is a very happy and bitter sports fan!
