School's In: The Official Podcast of The School of Everything Else

When doing a podcast series on 10 Years of AAW, who do you book for the go-home show? Well, it seemed foolish to look further than AAW’s longest tenured performer, having performed with AAW since it’s second event during year one, “The Party Danimal,” “Legendary” DAN LAWRENCE! Many are familiar with Dan’s contributions in the ring. After all, he is a rare triple crown winner, having held every title in AAW. Dan also contributes greatly to the overall production. Find out a lot about Dan’s thoughts of different phases in his career in addition to what event he considers to be “the worst event we’ve ever done.”

The Ten Years of AAW Series continues. On camera, Kevin has had a rocky relationship at best with this week’s guest, AAW Owner JIM LYNAM! Off camera and on the phone talking AAW history, many laughs and fond memories are shared between the two. Jim chronicles his involvement in AAW’s storied ten year run. He discusses in detail his favorite memories of managing his stable, Jim Jesus, Inc. He highlights his transition from managing to owner. For the first time, he talks about his lengthy sabbatical, the reasons behind it and how that ultimately lead to the current We Are Here storyline. There are few who can provide context of AAW’s entire evolution and Jim brings exactly that and more this week.

You likely have never seen him in front of the camera, even if you’ve followed AAW all ten years. Now, he comes to you after years behind the scenes as a partial owner and Executive Producer of AAW: Pro Wrestling Redefined, MIKE PETKOVICH! As AAW marches toward its ten year anniversary event March 21 in Berwyn, IL, Mike walks us through his background in production and how he used his schooling and experience to raise the bar of AAW to what it is today, just days shy of AAW’s program launching on MaddyGTV on Roku March 5. Vital history and unique context as Kevin talks to a dear friend and, some might say, the glue that holds AAW together.

This week, a man once known for his “Book of Knowledge” finally has an opportunity to share his knowledge on a larger scale. In Kevin’s own words, “In my near 15 years in professional wrestling, there are few who command respect in ways similar to him. ” Of course, he’s referencing this week’s guest, DEREK ST. HOLMES, ESQ.! Derek has been part in wrestling for 18 years and has many entertaining and insightful stories from that time. In fact, he has so many, this is the first two-part episode of School’s In! Much more to come on next week’s episode, so you should probably subscribe now if you haven’t already.

Also, at the top of the show, Kevin was recently asked by fans why he no longer accepts booking from Ring of Honor. He delivers that answer. Though far from scandalous, it has more to do with Kevin holding his own honor and the importance of maintaining long-term friendships and business relationships over short-term cash gains from a major corporation masquerading a subsidiary as a truly independent company.
