Episode 154 of Best For Business features Ian Knoxx.

Ian Knoxx begins by discussing why he got into professional wrestling and how his background in rugby helped shape his physical style and mindset inside the ring. He reflects on life after college, the transition into wrestling training, and the early CZW school days under John Zandig, including stories that highlight both the intensity and unpredictability of that environment.

A major part of the conversation centers around his time in the early days of CZW, including the formation of Pro Wrestling Unplugged and the relationships and tensions that came with working closely in that scene. 

Ian also reflects on the evolution of his in-ring identity, his inspirations, and the friendships formed through wrestling, including The Irish Drinking Team with Chris Stylz. He breaks down what those connections meant during a chaotic and physically demanding era of independent wrestling.

The episode highlights several major career moments, including Cage of Death V, Tournament of Death appearances, and a First Blood match with Adam Flash. Ian also discusses adapting to different styles and environments, including wrestling in Italy and working alongside names like Jimmy Rave, as well as teaming with Test in a unique chapter of his career.

Beyond the violence and spectacle, Ian talks about the importance of relationships in wrestling, how the business shaped his personal life, the bonds formed on the road, and the respect earned through shared experience in difficult matches and demanding schedules.

As the conversation turns toward the later stages of his career, Ian reflects on slowly stepping away from active competition, what he’s been up to since, and whether another match is still possible. 

The episode closes with Ian Knoxx reflecting on legacy, what he took from the hardcore wrestling era, the lessons learned through pain and persistence, and how he wants to be remembered in a scene built on toughness, loyalty, and survival.

Episode 152 of Best For Business features a deep dive into the career of one of the most recognizable names from the early East Coast independent scene, Cheetah Master.

Cheetah Master opens up about his unexpected path into professional wrestling, starting with his original interest in becoming a promoter before ever stepping into the ring. That journey leads into a pivotal moment calling Jim Kettner for tickets to an East Coast Wrestling Association show, an interaction that would change his life forever when he was asked directly, “How would you like to be a pro wrestler?”

From there, he breaks down his early development in ECWA, his first match, and how what began as a one-time experience quickly turned into a full-time pursuit. He reflects on discovering his identity as “Cheetah Master,” the mindset behind the character, and the early lessons that shaped his career both in and out of the ring.

A major theme of the episode is growth and mentorship. Cheetah Master discusses the biggest lessons learned under Jim Kettner, along with influential figures like Lance Diamond, and how those relationships helped him view professional wrestling as an art form rather than just performance.

The conversation continues with his work across multiple territories, including Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling, and appearances working for Afa Anoa'i, further expanding his experience across the independent scene.

Cheetah Master shares standout moments from his career, including a memorable three-way match with Lance Diamond and Reckless Youth, and high-profile bouts against legends such as The Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Snuka. 

Another major focus is his involvement in the historic 1st ever ECWA Super 8 Tournament, one of the most influential independent wrestling tournaments of all time, where he shares the ring with ECWA founder Jim Kettner himself.

The episode closes with Cheetah Master reflecting on legacy, what he contributed to the ECWA system, how the character evolved over time, and how he wants to be remembered as both a performer and a foundational figure in the independent wrestling scene.

Episode 150 of Best For Business is a massive milestone episode featuring one of the most respected veterans in independent wrestling of Kekoa.

Known to many as “The Flyin’ Hawaiian,” Kekoa joins the show to reflect on a career that spans multiple generations of independent wrestling, from the early grind of balancing everyday life with chasing the wrestling dream to becoming one of the most recognizable names throughout the East Coast wrestling scene.

Kekoa also dives into his memorable run with the East Coast Wrestling Association, including his experiences competing in the legendary ECWA Super 8 Tournament. He shares stories from those tournaments, what made the atmosphere special, and why the Super 8 became such an important proving ground for wrestlers trying to elevate themselves.

Beyond matches and championships, Kekoa speaks about the importance of giving back. A major focus of the episode centers around training and coaching the next generation of wrestlers. He discusses the most rewarding parts of teaching, helping younger talent grow, and why passing knowledge down has become one of the most fulfilling aspects of his career.

Outside of wrestling, Kekoa talks about getting involved in Banana Ball with the Loco Beach Coconuts, adding another unique chapter to his story. He also discusses writing a book, becoming a proud girl dad, and how his priorities and perspective have evolved over time.

The episode closes with Kekoa reflecting on the legacy he hopes to leave behind, not just as a wrestler, but as a mentor, father, coach, and someone who dedicated his life to helping others grow both inside and outside the ring.
