Shooting the Shiznit

IN THE STUDIO with BT is the evolution of nine years behind the mic. After nearly a decade of podcasting, BT is now bringing the conversations home — literally — inviting guests into 304 Studios for raw, unfiltered, one-on-one interviews.

No pausees. No call-ins. Just real talk, real stories, and real moments recorded face to face. From wrestling legends and local personalities to friends of the show, BT sits down in an intimate studio setting where anything can happen.

This isn’t just another interview podcast — it’s personal, it’s direct, and it’s happening In The Studio.

BT's second guest is Robb Helt. (recorded on 2.25.26)

In The Studio with BT – Episode 2: Robb

Helt

Live from 304 Studios in Jonesboro, Arkansas, BT welcomes longtime

wrestling fan, smart mark extraordinaire, and Retro Wrestling Re-View

Continental Podcast co-host Robb Helt for a wide ranging, often

hilarious, and surprisingly revealing conversation.

In this episode, Robb traces his journey from a six year old kid

accidentally discovering wrestling on WTBS... to following the territory

system across the country thanks to his dad’s Walmart career... to sitting

in the legendary Dallas Sportatorium... to going to Nashville for a very

EYE OPENING Saturday night at the Fairgrounds... and eventually

working the workers himself in one of the most unbelievable “mark

turned agent” stories you’ll ever hear.

You’ll hear:

🔥 Robb’s first live wrestling experience and why it terrified him

🔥 Growing up on Mid-South, Crockett, Memphis,World Class, and

eventually Global....

🔥 Behind-the-scenes stories involving Dave Sullivan (The Equalizer)

aka Bill Dannenhauer and working the boys

🔥 Being “smartened up” the hard way

🔥 The Classic Memphis era and the Lawler/Dundee feud from a fan’s

perspective

🔥 The Dallas Sportatorium atmosphere and Friday night rituals

🔥 Thoughts on kayfabe sheets, the Wrestling Observer, and learning

the business

🔥 Why Robb still watches wrestling through 10-year-old eyes

🔥 How he eventually became part of the Retro Wrestling Re-View team

This is one of those episodes that perfectly captures what In The Studio

with BT is all about, real stories, real fandom, real history, and that

blurred line between mark and smark that makes wrestling magic.

If you love territory talk, Memphis history, Dallas memories, and honest

wrestling conversation, this episode is for you.

Cassette Wrestling News – Episode #17 (August, 1991)

(Originally released as Issue #56)

Episode #17 of Cassette Wrestling News marks a dramatic turning point for the series, as Jeff Osborne hosts the show solo in the immediate aftermath of John Seaton’s on-air meltdown and departure. What follows is a sprawling, information heavy, and emotionally charged episode that captures the wrestling world in absolute upheaval during the summer of 1991.

The episode is dominated by the Ric Flair contract saga, with mounting evidence that Flair is WWE bound. Osborne covers WCW’s failed attempts to bring Flair back as head booker, speculation that Titan will recognize Flair as a world champion, and growing belief that Flair vs. Hulk Hogan is inevitable. The sense of finality surrounding Flair’s WCW exit looms over nearly every discussion.

Major topics and segments include:

Continued fallout from Ric Flair leaving WCW, including reports of Titan Television acknowledging his championship status

Intense criticism of Jim Herd and Dusty Rhodes, with speculation about backstage power struggles and possible outside influence

Detailed coverage of Eddie Gilbert and Cactus Jack’s Philadelphia war, described by multiple witnesses as a legitimate “match of the year” contender

Real glass used in the match

Significant venue damage

Medical and athletic commission fallout

Reports that officials feared a legitimate death or career-ending injury

Updates on WCW tryouts for Eddie Gilbert and Cactus Jack, including backstage tension with Jim Ross

Extensive discussion of steroid abuse, testing policies, and the WWF’s public relations campaign

Analysis of Hulk Hogan’s steroid denials, Dr. George Zahorian’s trial testimony, and contradictions in Hogan’s statements

Rumors and speculation surrounding Ultimate Warrior’s resignation, SummerSlam plans, and WWF locker-room instability

Coverage of independent wrestling growth, including Joel Goodhart’s Tri-State Wrestling Alliance, Autumn Armageddon II, and extreme stipulations

Reports and commentary from international correspondents, including Joe Massinio (Australia) and Dr. Mike Lano’s Japanese wrestling report, covering FMW, JWP, Medusa Miceli, and New Japan relations

A major announcement from Brian Tramel, ending his newsletter work to launch a new Mississippi-based promotion with Eddie Gilbert involvement

Listener contests, tape trading, and insight into the pre-internet wrestling underground economy

The episode also reflects a philosophical shift for Cassette Wrestling News itself- less chaos, more reporting, but no shortage of anger, disbelief, and passion as Osborne grapples with what many fans saw as the collapse of professional wrestling’s credibility.

Episode #17 stands as a crucial bridge between the raw volatility of Episode #16 and the evolving direction of CWN, documenting the moment when rumors became reality and the modern wrestling landscape began to take shape.

This isn’t just another interview podcast — it’s personal, it’s direct, and it’s happening In The Studio.

BT's first guest is Memphis Wrestling's Mike Anthony for over 2.5 hours ! (recorded 2.28.26)

In The Studio with BT – Episode 1: Mike

Anthony

The debut episode of In The Studio with BT kicks off in a big way as BT

sits down face-to-face at 304 Studios in Jonesboro, Arkansas with one of

the most authentic voices in modern Memphis wrestling: Mike Anthony

From growing up in Chicago watching WWF Superstars and Saturday

Night’s Main Event... to discovering wrestling through magazines like

Pro Wrestling Illustrated... to thinking you could just “apply at WWE like

McDonald’s”... Mike walks us through the real journey that turned a

lifelong fan into a seasoned professional.

In this candid, no-script, call-it-in-the-ring conversation, you’ll hear:

🔥 Growing up between Chicago and Atlanta during the WWF vs. WCW

era

🔥 Seeing Macho Man & Hogan vs. Sting & Luger live during WCW’s

hottest period

🔥 Training under Rodney Mack & Jazz, and the brutal pre-show drills

that built real pros

🔥 The difference between gym cardio and wrestling cardio

🔥 Learning psychology instead of just “move, move, move”

🔥 The long Texas drives as part of the OMGs tag team

🔥 Working under Teddy Long’s mentorship in SWE

🔥 The business lessons you don’t learn in the ring

🔥 Being there from Day One of Memphis Wrestling’s revival

🔥 Why reliability and availability matter more than flashy moves

Mike opens up about the mental side of wrestling, the politics, the trust

factor in locker rooms, and why Memphis Wrestling felt like the right

place to invest long-term. There’s real insight here about paying your

dues, evolving with the business, and understanding that sometimes

your “pay” isn’t money, it’s knowledge and you can’t put a price on that.

This is wrestling talk the way it’s meant to be: honest, layered, and

completely authentic.
