Episode 115 features Edward G. Xtasy!

Straight from the after-hour parties of New York City, I sit down with Edward G. Xtasy, a true New England wrestling veteran whose career spans decades and unforgettable moments. Edward reflects on how he first got into wrestling, the influence of his favorite wrestlers growing up, and how bodybuilding and powerlifting shaped his approach in the ring.

He shares stories from his early days with Knuckles Nelson, jumping back into wrestling with no experience, and the birth of his iconic persona, Edward G. Xtasy. From his first big opportunities to wrestling former WWE talent like Stevie Richards, Tito Santana, Jimmy Snuka, and D-Lo Brown, Edward highlights the experiences that made his career unforgettable.

The episode dives deep into Chaotic Wrestling, including the creation of “The One Night Stand”, teaming with Ronnie D. Lishus & Aron Stevens, and becoming 3x Chaotic Wrestling Tag Team Champions. He reflects on career highs, considering retirement, and his return in 2013 for one more match.

We talk about Liviyah, sharing her journey and highlights from her wrestling career so far, and talks about the mentors and moments that shaped him. He closes with reflections on his legacy and what he’s up to now.

A must-listen for fans of New England wrestling, classic tag team action, and the stories behind some of the region’s most iconic matches.
