In a big week for Chicago wrestling, Windy City Slam Podcast welcomes Rocket Pro co-owner Will Schelli (aka Maximus Orion) to the show to preview RPW’s “Fall Brawl” in depth, discusses getting a 20x20 wrestling ring for his high school graduation (which laid the foundation for RPW), how the Maximus character came about and what influences it drew from, paying his dues, and how his mother went from being critical of buying the wrestling ring to a main-event performer last Spring. Plus, Mike tackles the big news of the last week, including CM Punk’s dismissal from AEW, WWE and AEW premium live events, AAW Pro and Freelance Wrestling results and other local highlights.

Mike Pankow is a wrestling super-fan who covers local Chicagoland wrestling and national promotions like AEW and WWE. If there is something going on in Chicago, Mike knows about it.
