Episode 130 features Brian Fury!
Episode 130 of Best For Business features a deep dive with one of New England wrestling’s most respected competitors and trainers, Brian Fury. From his earliest days discovering pro wrestling to becoming a cornerstone of the regional scene, Fury reflects on the journey that defined his career.
Brian shares how he first found pro wrestling, the wrestlers who inspired him growing up, and training at WFA ran by Steve Bradley. He talks about the lessons learned from Bradley, the story from “Brian Jury” to Brian Fury, and how the “Firebrand” persona helped shape his identity in the ring.
The conversation covers his first major opportunities, including competing in the ECWA Super 8 Tournament, teaming with Chris Venom as Adrenaline, and sharing the ring with mentors and rivals who helped push him forward. Brian reflects on stepping into Chaotic Wrestling, being apart of The Empire, and eventually reaching the national stage with Ring of Honor.
Fury discusses the highs and lows of his career, including breaking his ankle during his ROH run and competing in the ROH Top Prospect Tournament. From there, the conversation touches on time spent in NWA On Fire and Xtreme Wrestling Alliance, as well as standout matches against teams and competitors like The Young Bucks and Zack Sabre Jr..
Brian opens up about the opponents who brought the best out of him, including Eddie Edwards, Mikaze, and Julian Starr, along with his early aspirations of making it to WWE and eventually wrestling Ryback on WWE SmackDown.
The episode also explores the latest chapter of Fury’s career of giving back to the business through training the next generation, including future stars like Carmelo Hayes (formerly Christian Casanova). He reflects on his final match with Josh Briggs, stepping away from active competition, and returning for the 25th Anniversary of Chaotic Wrestling.
To close, Brian discusses whether a return to the ring is possible and what he hopes his lasting legacy will be in professional wrestling as a competitor, mentor, and cornerstone of the New England wrestling scene.
