Episode 32 of Fannin’s Flashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by one of his commentary partners, a jack of all trades in the wrestling industry, Michael Z. Listen as Michael Z discusses his start in the wrestling business stemming from the lack of seriousness on the commentary for shows upsetting some of the talent. Like Nick Maniwa and myself, Michael found himself doing it all on shows: refereeing, ring announcing, commentary, filming, whatever it took to make the show go. The one thing that eluded him that he wanted to do more of was booking. The same task that always eluded me on these shows. Hear about the struggle to be able to have more input than just putting something out there for the tryout shows. What was it like trying to work with me when I had one foot out the door and actively didn’t want to be there anymore? How did my hatred for the whole damn state of Michigan impact our working relationship? All that and more on this episode!
