EP11: The Moose Antler Theory (Ruthless Ron)
Better known today as Ritchie Taylor from Melbourne City Wrestling among more Victorian based pro wrestling organisations, back in the mid-2000's he was known simply as Ruthless Ron! Ron joins the podcast to look back at his start in the journey of wrestling coming from Melbourne's Western Suburbs & constructing make-shift rings, to wrestling at YWF & meeting more wrestlers from other states all the way to a long running feud with Robbie & even continuing their rivalry to this day in Pro Wrestling rings across Australia. Ritchie & Robbie have known each other since the early age of 15 and through their constant connection have a lot of shared history to discuss. Some topics include:Niven becoming the gateway for all Australian Backyard WrestlersHow did he come up with his name?Reputation of being "Ruthless"Broken backs at the Gatorade Arena for VicyardfestDriving to Newcastle for the first time and wrestling at HVWA (lost footage - never seen)Searching Salvos for wrestling outfitsDressing like SantaTassles, Speedos and Kmart Swimming TrunksFeud with Robbie in the backyard across several yearsThe Brainbuster on the top rope at YWF Backyard Brawl 5Was it a moose antler? And why? Who would be great as a Pro Wrestler from the backyard scene then Plus much more!
