F'N Wrassling

This week we chop it up with Dan Bynum.  He was in charge of Television Production for WCCW, WCW, ROH, and MLW.   His innovation and foresight in television production is what we have grown to love to this day.   He directed the "Bad Street USA Music Video" with the Fabulous Freebirds and several other ventures.  The stories are endless and his mind and passion for the business is infectious.  

We here at Jumping the Barricade speak often of how the landscape of Professional Wrestling can at times resemble that of Comic Books or even a Saturday morning cartoon. This we are joined by Tom Fleming, the brilliant artist who for over a decade worked in the WWF/WWE creating designs for PPV Posters and wrestlers such as (WWE Hall of Famer) Razor Ramon, Papa Shango, Adam Bomb (a personal fav of the artist), and many, many more!
