Evolution Radio Network Presents:

When it comes to ring announcers, few have the pedigree of Gary Michael Capetta. The man known as "The World's Most Dangerous Announcer" has toured the world and worked for all three of the major promotions based in the United States. Last year, prior to his first "Beyond Bodyslams" tour he made his first appearance on our program and regaled us with story after story of his years on the road. It was one of the most fun 2+ hours we have ever had. 

Gary is back on the road with his latest tour, "Beyond Bodyslams-The Rematch" where he continues telling more of the stories of the people he has been involved with and the places he has been, some nice, some rather questionable, throughout the years. The new show has more stories and a larger screen with more and better videos than before. On this tour he has also included various wrestling personalities, both established and up and coming. In Atlantic City, he had our friend The Quintessential Studmuffin Joel Gertner. At "Beyond Bodyslams-Chicago Rematch" which will occur this Friday in suburban Berwyn, he will be joined by a young man who is making his own path while paying tribute to his legendary father, Brian Pillman Jr., who will also do a Q&A session.

The Chicago stop is being sponsored by Berwyn Championship Wrestling, who will have an event on Saturday night. They will also be represented here tonight.

If you have any questions for Gary please post them on the W.A.R. page on Facebook and we will ask the best ones.

Get ready for another fantastic two hours or more of stories and laughs with The World's Most Dangerous Announcer-Gary Michael Capetta.

We have in the past interviewed several wrestling personalities who have written books about the industry from the inside. Bobby "Blaze" Smedley with "Pin Me Pay Me" and "I Kicked Out At Two", Kenny "Starmaker" Bolin and "I Probably Screwed You Too The (Mostly) True Stories Of Kenny "Starmaker" Bolin and Bill Apter with the legendary "Is Wrestling Fixed? I Didn't Know It Was Broken". Tonight, we present to you the author of several books on not only professional wrestling but baseball. This book, however, may prove to be his biggest, and possibly most controversial yet.

Today, the latest book by author Tim Hornbaker, "Death of the Territories: Expansion, Betrayal and the War that Changed Pro Wrestling Forever" was published by ECW Press. In it, Tim tells the history of how the territory system developed, the infighting and backroom deals that made and broke numerous promotions over the years, and how the creation and expansion of cable TV and an enterprising Vincent Kennedy McMahon changed the face of the professional wrestling industry forever. 

Your hosts have been able to read the book and it is an amazing read and a fascinating history lesson for both the wresting afficionado and the new fan who may not be aware of the long history of the industry and may only be learning about the past now due to events such as "ALL IN". Steve even learned that what he had learned in the past was not how things actually were. This will be a very interesting conversation. If you have questions for Tim about the book or about wrestling history in general please post them on the W.A.R. page (http://www.facebook.com/WrestlingAuthorityRadio) and we will ask the best one.

You will also be able, sometime tonight, to WIN a copy of the book, courtesy of Tim & ECW Press. Be listening.

So,we got a little carried away last night rightly criticizing WWE without actually getting into RAW or SmackDown Live. Well tonight we will correct that issue.

After that we have some great subjects to talk about, including a match sheet for Evolution that leaked out today and is making us wonder why they're not pushing this card to the moon. In addition, Tama Tonga, son of the legendary Haku, AKA King Tonga and Brandi Rhodes, wife of the new NWA Champion Cody, have been engaged in a vicious feud across Twitter that is once again blurring the lines between story and reality. Chris Jericho talks about possibly continuing to work non WWE events in the US, and the last line of his comment may be a clue about his future.

Has Vince McMahon decided he's going to play hardball with Madison Square Garden? We have information regarding something scheduled for next week that could have some long ranging and long lasting effects on many people on many levels.

All this and the proverbial more with Sean, Steve and Katie tonight.

One would think that after seeing how successful ALL IN was you would think that WWE would try and put on some major spark on the go home show prior to this Sunday's pay per view, the first one of the "fall season" (even though it's still officially Summer). Instead, the audience was treated to a show that, minus the Women's tag match, was mediocre at best. We can only hope that tonight's SmackDown Live makes a better case for viewers to want to watch Sunday. In good news concerning last night's RAW, it marked Renee Young's official promotion to full time commentator. Speaking of Renee Young, it seems that, sadly, her official first night couldn't go without a STUPID tweet by well known moron Terry Brunk, AKA Sabu. 

Speaking of women in the wrestling business a new interview with former ECW and WWF star Jazz has come out. In it, she hints at why she thinks she was released, and it has a lot to do with skin tone. Another well known woman, Zelina Vega, real name Thea Trinidad, released an interview today talking about her father, who she lost 17 years ago today in the World Trade Center.

SmackDown Live episode 1000 is coming soon, and the rumors are flying as to which past Blue Brand stars will be returning for the big event. Well one person who is listed as returning for the special episode is saying "Huh?". We'll tell you who that is. We have the lineup for this week's Mae Young Classic episode, and it contains someone who has been on our airwaves.

WWE is looking at sites in and around New York City for WrestleMania week, and one of the places they looked at is probably the most opposite of a wrestling friendly venue that there could be.

All these stories and more, with Steve, Sean and Katie...TONIGHT!

This interview was recorded Monday, therefore we will not be taking any live calls. Please sit back, enjoy, and for promoters and would be promote out there, take notes.

Bill Behrens is a promoter and talent developer. Throught his career, prooting primariy from the gymnasium of a former school in the small town of Cornelia, Ga. The list of names that he has had a hand in developing and taking to the next level is a who's who of the wrestling business.

Sean and Steve had the honor of talking to Bill on Monday and this is the entire interview, uncut and without interruption. In it, we discuss ALL IN, the NWA, his memories of our friend Ed Chuman, the art of promoting and other such subjects.

If you have any questions you would like us to ask Bill on a subsequent taping we will do before Anniversary, please submit them to our Facebook page and we will attempt to have Bill answer them then.

Saturday night, the wrestling business experienced an earthquake coming out of the Chicago area that shifted the landscape of our industry, probably forever. ALL IN and its companion STARRCAST wrestling convention brought in fans and viewers and HUGE amounts of money! The project, which was the brainchild of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, aired live from the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates and brought together talent that had not only not been seen live in the Midwest, but many had never been seen live in the United States, or at least not outside of a smaller independent event. There was fantastic action, the public resurrection of the National Wrestling Alliance, and a surprise appearance by someone who swore they would NEVER appear on an independent event in the United States.

Amongst all that, there was that notorious Joey Ryan segment, and you knew Jim Cornette was going to say something about it.He didn't say anything on the air, but he did address the subject via Twitter, and while he was at it gave some publicity to someone Steve knows and has worked with. There was also an arrest before the event of a former WWE producer that we will discuss. Now, did Cody's big brother Dustin, AKA Goldust watch it? You bet! Wait until you hear how much he's watched it! 

RAW last night had a serious injury occur during the final melee. We will be watching for any updates regarding Seth Rollins' situation if there is any news before or during the broadcast. In other news, we now know why Aleister Black was not at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn. SmackDown Live may revisit a contorversial segment from the Attitude Era, this time involving Samoa Joe and AJ Styles.

All this and more with Katie,Steve and Sean, TONIGHT.

It's hard to believe that the end of summer is coming and we're just a few days away from Labor Day for our US listeners. Now while technically the warm weather shouldn't be leaving us, we couldn't figure of ending summer with the HOTTEST ladies around, the original GLOW girls! Joining us tonight:

April Enriquez. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Olympia Hart will not be able to be with us. April, AKA Royal Hawaiian, will be making her second appearance with us. She will fill us in on the latest upcoming GLOW events.

Noelle Rose. This is Noelle's second appearance with us. As the evil Soviet Major Tanya, Noelle dispatched opponents like sending dissidents to Siberia. Now, she performs throughout Southern California as Rose Redbirdi, trading promos for song lyrics and her Russian gear for a guitar.

Marie Moore. Marie, known as the braniac Zelda, is making her second appearance with us. We'll be able to get more into the design of her character, which many original fans can recognize as the inspiration for Britannica from the Netflix series.

Jayne Adams. She was the second California Doll. Her story is not totally unique in that she was a model who got a call from her agent for this new TV concept. However, her total story is very interesting, especially the end of her GLOW run and her current career.

Originally our dear friend Sandy Manley, AKA Gremlina was going to join us. Unfortunately Sandy is having meetings with doctors who are taking care of her husband Alan (See her GoFundMe on our page and help if you can) as well as family helping her AND a regular job. We wish her the best.

Once again, many thanks to our dear friend, April "Royal Hawaiian" Enriquez for arranging eveything. We hope you will enjoy ending your summer with a GLOW.

We're going to put Katie on the spot right off the bat (don't yell at us, you asked for it) as she presents her essay, "What I Did On My Saturday Night" which involved two previous guests. She also has her OWN rant tonight and it promises to be a biggie as she usually NEVER has a bad thing to say about many wrestlers, at least ones who aren't named Kevin Owens or Alexa Bliss. This should be a beaut as she has refused to let us in on what her beef is.

Last year, Steve absolutely TRASHED AAA's big show Triplemania XXV, and with good reason. Saturday was the 26th edition of the annual big event of lucha libre. Was it any better than last year in terms of production or action? We'll let him tell you.

There were some announcements made off air last night concerning members of the RAW roster that we have information on, one of which actually affects the upcoming event in Australia. A former bit player on RAW thought it would be fun to play a VERY sick joke last night. We will talk about the who and the what, and it's NOT funny!

Tonight's listed SmackDown Live matches includes the Womens Title rematch, The New Day celebration, The Colons return in a 3 Way against The Bar and The Good Brothers.

In other news, Maria Kanellis Bennett recently expressed a wish in response to a question asked by a fan. Let's just say the response was probably not what she hoped for. 

Join Steve, Katie and Sean for two hours of fun and wrestling talk TONIGHT.

Sadly, we toll the 10 bell tonight to remember former Georgia Championship Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling personality Chris Champion, also known as Yoshi Kwan.

Tonight we bring back our Indy Spotlight. Tonight we feature SCW, the promotion based out of the Black & Brave Wrestling Academy (Yes, the wrestling school co-owned and operated by that guy you see on Monday nights). This weekend their show will feature former WWE star Vicki "EXCUSE ME" Gurerro. We don't say she will be on, but we will talk about her.

Next will be an up and coming wrestler currently based out of Michigan. Alex Weir is turning heads all over with his athleticism and with smaller wrestlers starting to make a bigger mark with audiences all over he is someone you need to watch 

The last time we talked to Barrington Hughes he was still knocking around the Florida independent scene. Today he is a star on a network wrestling show. Barrington is part of Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling. Their program, MLW FUSION is scene weekly on Bein Sports. A few weeks ago, during MLW's Battle Riot, Barrington squared off with another behemoth, Fallah Bahh from Impact Wrestling. 

Tonight will be another fun evening of talk with some great wrestlers, we hope you will enjoy it.

Sadly, we once again open with the ten bell, as former CMLL & WCW wrestler Arturo Diaz Mendoza, AKA Villano III, passed away this morning at the age of 66.

Tonight ends the 4 day SummerSlam party and, unfortunately, it won't be totally ending as planned. A scheduled no disqualification rematch between The New Day and The Bludgeon Brothers has had to be scrapped (Note: They are still advertising the match as happening so we don't know). For those of you who caught our ERN One Minute (More Or Less) Wrestling News on Facebook or MeWe you are aware that Erik Rowan suffered an arm injury during their match Sunday and the arm was going to be examined today to discover they type and severity of the injury. Between the two pay-per-view events there were SIX title changes! Quite amazing. 

In other news, could there possibly be money problems at AAA? If you listen to Alberto El Patron, it sounds like there might be. Alberto will be missing the company's biggest event of the year and we will tell you why. ALL IN has added another competitor to their "Over Budget Battle Royal" and the young man they added is making waves throughout the independent scene, despite not being a behemoth. Speaking off ALL IN additions, someone the entire wrestling world would love to hear from was asked, and no, it's NOT Flip Gordon! We'll tell you who and what was said by the party that was approached. There will be a NEW WWE titleholder crowned this weekend that we will discuss.

In hour two we are going on another rampage. We found another "promotion" that when we read what they were offering, we didn't know whether to laugh, scream or puke. We may do all three while we discuss it so if there are any unusual sounds we ask your indulgence. Just get ready for us to become totally unhinged.

All of these things and MORE, including a BIG prize announcement, with Steve, Katie and Sean TONIGHT!
