Crit's Ringside Chat

My guest today is a key stable in the pro wrestling business: the photographer! Come have a sit as me and Kevin Sanchez talk about growing up watching wrestling, what we want to bring to the business, and what we do to expose ourselves to others!

This one is a bit of a quickie, just something to get something out there. So lets really talk about TNA. Do they actually have a chance at being the number 2 promotion in America? Well...

We end 2025 with an interview and we begin 2026 with an interview as my first guest in the new year is one half of Cash Grab, The High Roller From The Forgotten Borough Lenny Earl Cash! Sit a spell as we talk about the budding tag team scene in HOG, how to stand out when you're surrounded by other big money gimmicks, and how I can barely recognize wrestlers outside of their gear.

Its our final episode and our final interview of 2025 as my special guest for today is one half of the WTF tag team champions, Hyena Obscuro! Come have a sit as we talk about the origins of the gimmick, getting to work dream matches, and how each of us try to represent autism in our respective fields!

We're back at our favorite indie, it's the last one for 2025, it's HOG's Winter Warfare! We have a LOT to talk about. Some real high highs, a few lows, and too many goddamn heel turns! Listen to me try and make it all make sense somehow.

Flu season is a bitch and made me miss my deadline, so to make it up to the people, its a double for today! We're talking John Cena's final match against GUNTHER including my feelings about him tapping out. And we're following that up with a review on ETU's 4th anniversary show Nowhere To Hide!

We got our first twofer on the podcast as I got a chance to sit down with LPW star The Renegade Petey Lakes and his manager, wrestler, referee and more The Star Maker Franco Costanzo, Brutale Futura! Have a sit as we talk about making stars, hating the athletic commission, what it means to be a renegade, and try and find out what’s a matter me, huh?

Today I ask an important question and seek to answer it: How do wrestlers engage with their audiences? How do they get us, who hold all the cash, invested in them as performers? I break this up into two categories and try to analyze what this means for the business at large

A lot of people are reasonably concerned that the independent scene of pro wrestling is not only struggling, but its dying off. I'm here to tell you that not only are the indies not dying, there's so much more to it than you think. You just have to know where to look.

My guest for today is a former Cold Blooded Killer turned well again, a former HOG Tag Team Champion, The Captain of The Sky Raheem Royal! We discuss what it meant to be a cold blooded killer, trying to change mindsets and strategies, and goals set for the future!
