RJ Bell's Dream Preview

Turns out one of the workin' man fans of the Steve Austin Show is also a workin' indie wrestler in Lafayette, Louisiana! Rhett Thibodeaux has his own ring, books, promotes, and wrestles! He also works matches with the first guy that Steve Austin ever stepped in the squared circle with - Frogman LeBlanc! Rhett and Steve talk Monday Night Wars, today's wrestlin' style, Chris Jericho's latest WWE run, high flyin' spots, and the time Rhett tried out for ECW as Retro Thibadeaux.

It's a bittersweet day at the Austin house! The Broken Skull Ranch in Tilden, Texas is no longer, but ALL of the memories (the good, the bad, and the ugly) remain! Steve and Kristin share some of their favorite stories from the ranch - the family nights of music, the hunts, Teddy Fowler, birthdays & anniversaries, and also a few of the things they don't miss AT ALL - like the incredible Texas heat, the bugs, and the 1500 mile journey each way. Steve's also answering your questions about the ranch, and contemplating the location of the future Broken Skull Ranch...because YES, the brand lives on!

Vince Russo returns with more opinions about the state of the pro-wrestling business, and some friendly debate with Steve about the passion and commitment of today's WWE roster! They also talk Wrestlemania 33, and The Undertaker's send-off, and Vince offers some insight into how the creative process worked during the Attitude Era.

The Wrestlemania 33 convo was too big for one episode, so here's the conclusion of Steve & Wade's analysis, and this time it's focused on Randy Orton versus Bray Wyatt, Bill Goldberg's match against Brock Lesnar, the women's 6-way, and The Undertaker's ride off into the sunset! Steve's also sharing your comments & feedback about the event, and telling a few of his own stories, including a funny one involving new RAW GM Kurt Angle.

Steve and his illustrious wife, Kristin, answer your questions about Baltimore 1998 vs Paul Bearer; Kane's Mayoral race; hunting shed horns; veggie bacon, burgers, and spaghetti; boycotting eggplant; and Metallica. Plus, the aftermath of the chigger bugs, the great mosquito battle, return receipts in pro-wrestling, a Perry Saturn beatdown, a new member of the Austin family, and yes, No-See-Ums are legit.

Adam Cole returns to answer your questions, and they range from everything from The Bullet Club and The Young Bucks to AJ Styles to the Panama City Playboy gimmick. Adam also talks about a potential match with Kenny Omega, working in Japan, winning the ROH World Championship, traveling with Jay Briscoe, and whether the WWE/NXT might be in his future. Plus, he's offering advice for succeeding on the indie scene, eating clean on the road on a limited budget, and mastering your merch!

Tom Finn is a beer drinking, powerlifting, prison guard who does some pretty crazy stunts involving feats of strength, which he documents on Instagram (@huckfinnbarbell). He's telling his story and sharing some tips on nutrition, weight training, gear, competing, and what the "Shawshank Redemption" got right. He's also a Chicago Bears fan with some definite opinions about Jay Cutler!

Rip Rogers is sharing more 411 on pro wrestling psychology! This time its all about high spots, throwing a good working punch, creating an original gimmick, and really honing a few good in-ring tools. Rips also talking about booking the Puerto Rico territory, the old caravan tours of Germany, and telling a few more stories about Macho Man Randy Savage.

Rip Rogers has a hell of a twitter account (@Hustler2754) filled with all sorts of great advice and observations about the pro-wrestling biz! Yeah, a lot's changed since he was last in the squared circle, but as you'll hear him say, not the fundamentals or the psychology! He's telling it like it is when it comes to heels vs babyfaces, working punches, bumping, selling, reading the crowd, and tucking in those boot laces! He's also got stories about working with Dick The Bruiser, Lanny Poffo, and Fit Finlay.

Bruce Prichard, host of the Something To Wrestle With podcast, joins Steve as they wrestle with all kinds of pro-wrestling topics including what it really takes to write a Royal Rumble and book the match, John Cena's work and career, the Rock & Roll Express and the Midnight Express not being in the WWE Hall of Fame, Kurt Angle's upcoming HOF induction, the "it" factor of AJ Styles, what it takes to get over and stay over, how Bruce ended up being assigned to work creatively with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the infamous Wrestlemania match between The Rock and Hulk Hogan.
