Puddy’s Podcast

Consumers on Episode 205 "The AirPod God" Richard Holliday talks to Marc Chouen about wrestling marketing, MLW's expansion and what qualities you must posses to be dynastic. Abel takes over hosting duties and together with Marc they discuss the recent WWE releases, the debut of Killer Kross and the interesting twist on this year's Money in the Bank.

It's the post Mania show, and love it or hate it, it was definitely a WrestleMania that will be remembered.  Green Man joins the show this week and helps answer the big questions of the week, such as, where will the Revival land next, is the Ronda Rousey trash talking a work or shoot and have we seen the last of John Cena?  Marc takes over the interview this week, as we get to know more about Billy Brash.  All this and more, including some big announcements straight from Green Man you don't want to miss!

WrestleMania is a week away and to say it's just the same this year would be an understatement.  Roman Reigns is out, along with The Miz, Asuka, Andrade & Buddy Murphy, should Vince still go through with it or cancel it at this point?  How are current WWE superstars trying to help out the stars on the Independent scene?  Is there talks about bringing in CM Punk back to the WWE?  All these questions are answered and Abel is back with part two of his interview with Ruthless Lala.

In August of 2018 we interviewed Joe Gacy as we made our way to Atlantic City for a wrestling convention named Boardwalk Beatdown. What we discovered was stories about Joe's humble beginnings in CZW, his search to find longevity in the business by becoming a trainer/coach and his love for horror movies. At the conclusion of this flashback interview we reach out to Joe to discuss many of his accomplishments in the past 2 years and his continued displeasure with movie remakes. 

After a successful year competing in the Mae Young Classic, AEW's Casino Battle Royale and joining the NXT roster we look back at our interview with Mercedes Martinez from June 2018. We cover so much from maintaining a shoot job, Triple H's pep talks, and her opinions about Toni Storm and Bianca Belair. Enjoy this FLASHBACK!!

Michael J Puddy and Marc Chouen, again connect via satellite and discuss how they are coping with this lockdown and celebrate Tom Brady leaving the AFC.  The big news was that WrestleMania is now set to take place over the span of two nights in Orlando...or is it?!  Are we seeing a new incarnation of the Undertaker character, how did AEW handle having no live crowd and have we seen our last d*ck flip?  All the questions are answered, plus Abel talks to Ruthless Lala in Part One of a two part interview.  Everything may be shutting down, but a Shot of Wrestling is still going strong...just wash your hands before listening!

A show four years in the making has finally arrived, the 200th episode of a Shot of Wrestling.  MJP talks a walk down memory lane then comes back in time to recap AEWs Revolution and WWEs Super Showdown. Both shows crowned new champions but only one caused a controversy that set the internet into a panic.  For everyone who has been a part of the show the previous 199 episodes or if you a just teamed with us, thank you for all your support and here to the next 100 episodes!

With Marc out healing some bad burns, MJP flies solo this week and enjoys the peace and quiet.  After reviewing the numbers for week 2 of the XFL, we discuss AEW's new toy line and getting rejected from an arena.  Some new Hall of Fame names have been leaked and ESPN becoming the front runner to land WWE's PPVs, which doesn't sit well with Puddy.  On the eve of episode 200, we open he hotline to listen to some well wishes from some of the friend we've made the past 4 years and find time to wish Ric Flair a Happy Birthday! 

MJP and Marc Chouen put their Valentine's Day plans on hold to come to the studio this week. It's Wrestlemania season, which means plans and rumors are starting to come out. The Undertaker will be returning to the Showcase of the Immortals, but do we want to see him face AJ Styles or Sting?  We read your comments regarding the potential induction of the Bella Twins in the Hall of Fame, and man, you guys def had some opinions. Abel chats with the Gladiator of the Geeks, Riley Shepard, to talk all about her career and her recent come back from injury. Love is in the air and we know you'll love this episode!

From addiction to super-stardom the story of the Vivacious Vicious Vicki is awe-inspiring. The dream of the 6th grader who wanted to become a "wrestler like Lita" is alive and in full swing. Vicki opens up about her recovery, love life and the opportunities she has had within her first year in the business. When you listen to this interview you too will think that it is the most powerful and important interview we have ever released. Thanks for listening and supporting A Shot of Wrestling.
