Faces & Feels

John Gray is a legend. One of the original and longest-running deathmatch referees, he's seen & done it all.

He's been on the shelf for a while due to illness but is soon set to return! Though he didn't know that at the time of this interview... We rewind all the way back to how he got started, hear some crazy stories, about his unexpected friendship with 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, and try to keep it together as we remember our mutual friend the late great 'SPO' Sean Patrick O'Brien.

You can catch John on Twitch:https://m.twitch.tv/TheWrestlingReferee

This week we're joined by NJPW & TMDK's Mikey Nicholls.

Mikey was gracious enough to jump on the line with me while on the road for the New Japan Cup tour and take a walkback through his entire career, starting all the way back in his teens when he & his friends decided to teach themselves how to wrestle!

Then we find out how a doomed trip to the USA would see him walk into the NJPW Dojo and begin a journey that would take him to Noah, WWE and eventually full circle back to NJPW.

We're also talking about his involvement with Dude Where's My Ring and his upcoming first ever Deathmatch this Thursday night right here in Perth WA!
