This week on The Bell To Coffin Podcast, we’re joined by former wrestler and current 360 Pro Wrestling commentator, Ben Griep!

We talk about Ben’s transition from wrestling in the ring to calling the action behind the commentary desk, what it’s like seeing the business from a completely different perspective, and the experience of running wrestling shows.

Of course, we also had to get into death metal, because there’s no way we’re having Ben on without talking some heavy shit. 🤘

We cover wrestling, commentary, running shows, music, and plenty of other topics along the way.

We’re back after a week away! Real life responsibilities put The Bell To Coffin Podcast on the shelf for a minute, but Hostage & Jake are back and have plenty of shit to catch up on.

We talk about why we had to take the week off, Hostage almost getting halved with a chainsaw, dealing with car troubles, and everything else that’s been going on since the last episode.

We also recap our show Riot in Rockdale, break down what went down, and give you a preview of Ruckus in Rogers and what you can expect from the next show.

Plus, plenty of other wrestling talk, stories, bullshit, and whatever else comes up when Hostage and Jake sit down behind the microphones.

We took a week off… but we definitely didn’t run out of shit to talk about. 😂

30 episodes. Holy shit. 🤘

For episode 30, it’s just Hostage & Jake getting back to what started it all — no guest, no plan, just two dudes sitting down and talking about whatever the hell comes up.

We take a look back at how The Bell To Coffin Podcast started and how far we’ve come, then somehow end up talking about Fortnite, movies in theaters, our Top 5 wrestling themes, questionable/weird PPV music choices, Metallica, and a whole lot more.

We also give our thoughts on X-Men ’97 so far and dive into our theories and predictions for Avengers: Doomsday.

Thirty episodes in, and we’re still just getting started.

Thanks to everyone who has listened, shared an episode, supported the show, or just hung out with us along the way. Here’s to 30 more. 🖤🔔⚰️

The Bell To Coffin Podcast — Episode 27: SuperTex Brent McKenzie Returns!

The 2-time guest is back! SuperTex Brent McKenzie joins us for a conversation that somehow manages to cover bad wrestling, conspiracy theories, coming up in the wrestling business, and… honestly, a whole lot of absolutely nothing. 😂

We shoot the shit, talk some wrestling, go down a few conspiracy rabbit holes, reminisce about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly sides of the business, and generally have no idea where the conversation is going.

If you’ve listened to Brent’s previous appearance, you already know what you’re getting into. If you haven’t… buckle up.
