Alliance Blog Podcast: Interviews with Independent Wrestlers and Wrestling Personalities

Samoa Joe made his mark in the wrestling industry in 2000. With 25 years in the industry, Samoa Joe has had success every step of the way. A star in Ultimate Pro Wrestling, ZERO1, Ring of Honor, TNA Wrestling, WWE and AEW. Saturday Night, I was afforded the opportunity to interview Samoa Joe. This was a highlight of my podcasting career, as Joe has been my favorite wrestler for over twenty years. I would publicly like to send gratitude to Steve Islas for setting this up for me. And of course, my beautiful wife Michelle Caley, who ensured that I would have this opportunity.And of course Joe, who took ten minutes to talk. Samoa Joe is 100% the Dean Martin of pro wrestling and I was grateful for this opportunity.

The WWE purchase of AAA has created some interesting moments for both companies. The first Worlds Collide event took place on June 7th, 2025, in Inglewood, California. The second offering of Worlds Collide will take place September 12th, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, immediately following this week's SmackDown. The show will be available to watch on the WWE's YouTube Channel.

Matches will include Dominik Mysterio challenging El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship. The AAA World Tag Team Championship will be on the line when Pagano and Psycho Clown defend against the New Day. And the biggest cross-over match of the night will be when JD Mc Donagh and Dragon Lee, from Raw, along with NXT North American Champion Ethan Page, will challenge El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr. for his AAA Latin American Championship, in a Fatal Four-Way.

Plus, we discuss the rumor of Wrestlemania going to Saudi Arabia and the fear of the WWE pricing out families for its tickets.

Alex Misery is unhinged. A man of many hats, most of whom are insane. He's a vocalist for the band Twisted Misery. He shreds on the skateboard. But where most of our listeners will know Misery is from his time in the ring. High Risk is a statement that has little to no meaning for Misery. Misery joined the National Wrestling Alliance at the first Samhain back in 2023. Before his time with the NWA, Misery was a mainstay in the Florida Independent Scene, gaining a bit of notoriety working for Coastal Championship restling and FTW Wrestling.

A not-so-well-kept secret is that Misery is also a second-generation wrestler; he's the son of "El Leon" Apolo. Apolo is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (as part of the TNA era of the NWA) and the North American Champion. His father was a well-established superstar in Puerto Rico before becoming a mainstay in the United States. Similarly, Alex spent time working in Puerto Rico; however, his time was spent at World Wrestling Council, the rival to IWA Puerto Rico.

We will talk to Alex Misery tonight. We will speak to him about his time in Puerto Rico, getting established in Florida in the independents, wrestling from under his father's shadow, and becoming a fixture of the NWA. Please join us for this very unique interview.

The last time Biggie Biggs wrestled for Dangerous Adrenaline Wrestling Gladiators was in 2018, at DAWG's Wrath of Champions. He held the World Wrestling Grand Prix Championship for 1281 days, on top of being a former NWA New York Champion, NWA New Jersey, and NWA Coastal champion. Biggie's makes his return to DAWG on Saturday, June 28th, at The All American Bash. And it will continue when DAWG joins the Monmouth County Fair.

Jay Cal will discuss Biggie's return to DAWG. What he's been up to for the past seven years. His new look and what's next for "Chop Daddy!"

Better known on the streets as the SoCal Connection, TikTok Famous Soto619 and Jay Cal from the Alliance Blog discuss news regarding World Wrestling Entertainment.

R Truth, Sarah Logan, and Carlito Colon are finished with the WWE as their contracts will not be renewed. Who is next?

We also discuss the AAA/WWE Worlds Collide event. And we give our predictions.

The last year has been quite the whirlwind for the United Wrestling Network Women's Champion. Big Mama won the NWA Women's World Television Championship, the NWA Women's World Tag Team Titles, and became the very first United Wrestling Network Women's World Champion on February 25th. The meteoric rise of Big Mama might surprise some, but it only took a decade to become a major force in wrestling.

On this episode of the Alliance Blog Podcast, we will speak to Mama about the early days, competing for USWO, to glowing up for Shine and Shimmer, to the past few years working for Generation Next Pro, NWA POWERRR, United Wrestling Network's Derby Cit,y and Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and more.
