  • Dangerous Danny Brower, Part 3

    If audio is your preferred medium, these files from my Six Pack research will be a gem. These are not polished, produced clips, just the raw audio.

    The next segment of my visit with Hulk Hogan childhood friend Danny Brower is a crisp 18 minutes where Brower wanders from topic to topic as we go through his old memorabilia. It might be hard at times to figure out what he's talking about (and forgive the screeches of his pet parrot in the background), but he gives a fascinating window into the effect of steroids and how Hulk Hogan taught him how to inject. I had him read in real-time part of one of Hogan's books to fact-check the section about steroids.

  • Episode 2: B. Brian Blair

    During my road trip to write The Six Pack in 2022, Killer Bee B. Brian Blair was gracious enough to invite me into his home to ask him about his relationship with the Iron Sheik, Hulk Hogan, and his path through the WWF. For the first time, here is the raw audio from that interview.

  • WWF CFO Bob McMullan

    Part 1 of the raw audio of my interview with the former CFO of the WWF, or more formally Titan Sports, Bob McMullan. Bob was recruited by Vince and Linda McMahon in early 1983 to bring their finances in order. You’ll want to stay tuned for the duration of this episode, and Bob goes into detail on the Black Saturday deal when the WWF bought Georgia Championship Wrestling; Hulk Hogan’s contract; and where and when Vincent Kennedy McMahon told Bob about his plans for Wrestlemania.
