Issue # 94 ... Logan Avery-Cooper

Logan is a comedian based in Ottawa, Canada. He's a wrestling fan that we all know too well. As a child he loved wrestling. Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, a huge fan of WWE. Then somewhere along the line he lost his way. No longer having interest in wrestling. However every now and again he would tune in during the Attitude Era, but didn't follow it like most fans. Eventually he became a huge UFC guy and an MMA fan. Oddly enough real fighting would lead him back to pro wrestling. He was a Brock Lesnar guy as well as a Ronda Rousey fan as well. The wrestling he craved was more real. After hearing about Kenny Omega he would begin watching New Japan Pro Wrestling which would eventually lead him back to WWE. Now he's back in . Still watches MMA, but as you can hear by our conversation. It's like he might have left wrestling, but the wrestling never left him.

Dave is a hypnotist, a magician and an entertainer. He also has a passion for wrestling. Back in the mid 90's before the internet, before the dirt sheets came out, the best way to get information was to call a wrestling hotline. WWF had one, WCW had theirs, Mean Gene's hotline might have been the most famous. Then there was Dave Curran. He ran a weekly wrestling hotline in southern Ontario via the yellow pages that had hundreds of thousands of listens. Weather it be interviews with up and coming WWE talent such as Edge & Christain. Ot interviewing WCW main stays like Buff Bagwell. Not only that, Dave is currently a promoter and is running a show at the Rec Room in Toronto during the SummerSlam weekend later this summer.
