Episode 139 features “Ice Pick” Vic Capri!

Vic Capri breaks down how he first got into pro wrestling and what it took to break through in the competitive Chicago wrestling scene, including becoming one of the early pioneers of ladder matches in the region. He explains how those early wars helped him develop a reputation as a tough competitor who could hang with anyone.

A major turning point in his career came with his involvement in the legendary ECWA Super 8 Tournament, where he received a phone call from promoter Jim Kettner and stepped into the spotlight against top-tier talent like Christopher Daniels in the opening round.

Vic also reflects on opportunities with the World Wrestling Federation, including matches against names like Crash Holly, and battles with competitors such as Ace Steel and Vito Thomaselli during his rise through the independent ranks.

The conversation dives into his time with IWA Mid-South, including his debut against Mike Quackenbush, and the intense atmosphere that defined the promotion during its most influential years.

Vic also shares stories from his time in Dreamwave Wrestling, where he had standout matches against elite international talent like Minoru Suzuki and hardcore veterans like Jerry Lynn.

The episode also highlights his time teaming with Ariya Daivari as “Foreign Affairs,” as well as sharing the ring with legends like The Steiner Brothers.

Vic opens up about his mindset as he begins to wind down his in-ring career, while also discussing his passion for giving back through training and helping the next generation of talent. He reflects on what may come next, whether another match is possible, and what legacy he wants to leave behind in professional wrestling.
