December 30, 2015 Chattin’ With The CHIKARMY: That Masked Guy
We’ve hit the big red reset button on Chattin’ With The CHIKARMY, and my first guest is That Masked Guy of the Captain Fizz & Masked Guy Show!
We talk about what got Masked Guy into pro wrestling, his introduction to the CHIKARA world through King of Trios 2010 and ROH, his thoughts on the 101 forums and the discussions during moments like the shutdown angle, and much more! We wrap things up with a quick chat about the Captain Fizz & Masked Guy Show, a podcast that talks about Sci-Fi, comic books, wrestling, and more!
This was a fun chat, and I’m excited to be starting this series back up! Be sure to follow That Masked Guy on Twitter @ThatMaskedGuy and check out the Captain Fizz & Masked Guy Show atFizzMaskedShow.com!
