Grainmaker Wrestling Podcast

Ep 147 - SHENANIGANS

A few weeks back I was fortunate enough to head out west and see LPW 19 Speedball Strikes First. I packed up my recording gear, flew on out and this, this right here is the aftermath!

 

There is zero rhyme or reason to this episode, so be forewarned. What you will get this week, are conversations from some of the incredibly talented LPW roster, including Rich King, Thadeus Archer 3rd, Jared Rogers Stuart Garvey, and the Short Kings!

 

We chat about everything from horror movies, shitty gimmick matches, and then things really go off the rails when I chat with the Short Kings. This, this here was a lot of fun! Check it out!!

Ep 146 - Alex Maze

Alex Maze has had a helluva couple months. From an appearance at Effys Big Gay Brunch, to his viral clip from IWS, Alex stops by the podcast and talks about both!!

 

We also chat about Alex getting involved in wrestling, his experiences, training, and becoming a tag team, Amazingly Sweet, with Kristara. We also talk about a few massive matches that Alex has been a part of the past few months, including the tag match where Amazingly Sweet became tag team champions, and the incredible match vs Fresh Air.

 

We talk about this and so much more! Check it out!

Ep 145 - Tara Zep

After a week off, the Grainmaker Wrestling Podcast is back this week with my guest, the 'Villain' Tara Zep!

Ep 140 - WCW Greed Review with Pluggo!!

This week, I had to pay a debt, and that debt was being subjected to watching WCW Greed as myself and my co-host of For Exposure Pluggo sit down and review this wonderful masterpiece.

 

The last WCW PPV Greed, was really something. There were actually quite a few really solid matches, some great performances(like Jason Jett), but then some also absolute garbage, like Rick Steiner destroying Booker T, like what the hell!

 

So throw on your favourite pairy of shiny wet look trunks, get your spray tan on, and get ready for some laughs and fun as me and Pluggo have a blast with this one!
