The Shining Wizards

In this week's episode the boys start the show with an interesting conversation. Matt just watched the Jeff Hardy ROH Debut from 2003, and that sends the boys down a rabbit hole of Jeff Hardy, and Matt Hardy. It's an unscheduled down the aisle to kick off the show. 

They transition over to the Karl Anderson WWE/NJPW situation. We ponder on if it's a work or not, go over some of the Crown Jewel card, talk a little about the Triple H era so far before jumping over to picks & NXT Halloween Havoc. Somewhere along the way, Tony has to deal with his dryer, and this leads to a very strange conversation about how the Wizards do the laundry. This ate up a lot of time, that we can't get back. 

We are then joined by Former MLW National Openweight Champion and Leader of the Bomaye Fight Club Alex Kane. The Suplex Assassin talks with us about a variety of subjects, from Crybaby Calvin, to working with Davey Richards, sharting, the PWI 500, BW 500 and MORE. If you aren't familiar with Alex Kane, this is the interview to check out. 

After a quick break, we are joined by the Can You Beat That Champion Christian Rocco as he watches Matt and Kevin battle it out for the #1 contender ship and a chance to challenge the Champion on November 21st. 

Before pulling the train into the station we hit on a few things from the NWA, AEW, Impact and ROH.

The Wizards are back with another jam packed episode 

We quickly catch up and decide if we are picking NXT's Halloween Havoc. Tony needs to hear the card, and Matt of course butchers some of the names. This transitions into the breaking news from last week, the return of the Good Brothers to RAW, and what that means for NJPW. We ponder the possibilities, and this brings us to the NJPW TV Title. We go over the field, the design of the belt, and the rules. 

We cover the recent happenings in AEW, a few big returns and debuts on Rampage, plus Orange Cassidy winning the All Atlantic Title. Guess who didn't like it? This leads us to a conversation about the NWA and Question Mark 2. We cover some NWA, and how the Hard Times PPV continues to shape up. Is Homicide due to drop the title to Kerry Morton? What story is Tony over? 

We are then joined by Super Thunderfrog. He comes in 100 miles per hour, and is honestly an amazing interview. We talk about wrestling in the mall of America, teaming with Big O Possum, challenging for World Titles, pooping your pants, wrestling figures, Halloween & MORE. This is a really fun interview and worth checking out. 

Back from a quick break, we dive into Triplemania 30. After last week's interview with Sam Adonis, Kevin was sold on the show, find out what he thought about it and what he took away from the show .

We talk some Tales from the Territories, the Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler story, All these years later, we are still learning new things about this amazing story, and we ponder, does this work if Vince McMahon Sr decides to run the angle instead of Memphis and Lawler. 

We then do our Wizards Rewind, back to the Coliseum Home Video Piledriver Music Video VHS.

On this week's show the boys come in hot on a conversation about Jeans. How often does Matt wash his, and what do they smell like? How many pairs of jeans do we own? We catch up with each other about the weekend, Kevin ran into someone he knew at a wrestling show, but didn't realize it, Tony rubs in the Mets loss to Matt & Kevin has something going on with his hair. Plus we talk about Columbus Day and Pizza

We transition into some wrestling talk, leading things off with the Vice Tales From the Territories debut show on the Memphis territory. We talk about what we liked about it, and the prospect of some of the upcoming shows, Portland, Mid South and Texas. Vice is also dropping a Vince McMahon 2 Hour Special in a week, so we spitball about that before heading into NWA Territory. Tony really enjoyed NWA USA over NWA Power, so we talk about each shows from the past week, EC3, and we run down the current NWA Hard Times 3 PPV in November 

We then head into AEW Land, and talk about the backstage fight between Andre(Andrade) and Sammy. The verdict is that Tony Khan is to blame for this & Tony goes off on the situation and AEW. We talk Wardlow, Jericho, FTR and more. 

We take some time to cover our Impact Bound For Glory Picks, and the PPV itself. What was the match of the night? Kevin has a good idea why Bully Ray won the rumble, but Matt hates it, and Tony seems indifferent. 

We talk about our Extreme Rules picks, but briefly touch on the return of Bray Wyatt or the show itself as we are joined by our guest. 

El Rude himself, Sam Adonis joins us ahead of AAA Triplemania XXX 

We talk about why he signed the MLW Contract, and what that means for his time in AAA, the importance of Triplemania, what match he is looking forward to most on the show, Bruno, collecting action figures and more. If you aren't familiar with Sam, this is a great introduction to him. 

After a short break, we are joined by Patreon supporter Brendan to take a trip Down the Aisle. Brendan takes us back to the May 2011 Rahway Rec Center for a joint Jersey All Pro/New Japan Pro Wrestling Show. It's the first round on the Intercontinental Championship Tournament and our minds are blown away with the lineup and the fact that this took place so close to home & we missed it (Well Brendan didn't, he was at the show) 

It's a fantastic show and a great time

After some discussion of the NWA and Impact, Matt leaves to celebrate his Anniversary. The Two Man Army hold down the fort with not one, not two, but THREE (!) rounds of Kevin's Top 5. It was a lot of fun and the chat was more than willing to help Tony get the right answers.

This week the boys bring you an amazing interview with BLK JEEZ.

The boys are back with the latest episode of The Shining Wizards Podcast 

The crew jumps right into it with Matt talking about how he is going to yell at anyone wearing CM Punk gear at Grand Slam, and this leads them down an AEW conversation. Did Hangman go into business for himself? Are we happy to have Punk back in wrestling? How does Tony Khan deal with this? And of course we run down the Grand Slam card, Tony is super excited. 

We talk about the exciting news of War Games returning at Survivor Series. Thankful that it won't be for brand supremacy and we speculate what the 5 vs 5 teams would be. We also talk about the Crown Jewel Main Event and our thoughts on Logan Paul being in the main event.

The Wild Rhino talks to the boys about a variety of topics, from being in the original LA Dojo Class, Best of the Super Juniors, Horsemeat, his injury recovery, pants pooping and much more.

It's Monday Night and the boys are back at it again. 

Tony is running a bit behind because of "work" 

Matt and Kevin kick off the show with some history information, catch up on the week they had, then dive right into the AEW saga. They touch on CM Punk's injury, Tony Khan, Malakai Black, Trios Titles, Grand Slam and more. Kevin has some internet issues, so Matt has to go it alone for a few minutes, putting over the latest Inside the Ropes Magazine and the Almanac that cover 1989-1990. Upon Kevin's return the boys put a bow on the AEW talk, and briefly touch on the NWA before being joined by our guest. 

Landon Hale joins us to talk about being trained by Robert Gibson, going from Kentucky to Massachusetts, being a Chiropractor, his first match, Chaotic Wrestling and much more. It's a fun conversation and a great introduction to Landon if you aren't familiar with him. 

Tony joins us during the interview, and once Landon exits, we are joined by the Can You Beat That Champion, Christian Rocco. He is scheduled to defend against Kate the Great, but as you know, things change, you're gonna have to hear this to believe it. 

After the Can You Beat That Challenge, we hit on a few things, Tony's hate for AEW, Extreme Rules, Impact, & the Great Muta's retirement tour.

The Boys are back with another episode 

Happy Labor Day 

The crew catches up with each other after a busy week. Tony saw Clerks 3, Kevin watched all the wrestling shows Live and Matt worked. 

They jump right into the AEW drama. We should be talking about the show and the matches, but all the buzz is the backstage drama from the Media Scrum. We talk about the reports of punches thrown, chairs thrown, biting, hair pulling, Colt Cabana and Tony Kahn. We really should be talking about the show but this nonsense is the lead. Matt compares it to WCW, what do you think? 

We are then joined by one of the hottest competitors in the NWA. "Magic" Jake Dumas. He's been on a roll lately, and we catch up with him. We talk about the similarities in magic and wrestling, magic tricks, who he'd like to face, pants shitting, and a huge announcement about what he's doing in the NWA. 

After a quick break we pick our monthly Patreon winner, then get back in to AEW All Out. Someone went 15-0 with their picks!!! Find out who. We briefly run down the show, MJF's big return, Punk winning the title, Black's future and much more 

We hit on some WWE Clash at the Castle, as well as picks, a quick look at NXT When Worlds Collide, some Impact news, the NWA Hard Times 3 Main Event & the latest WWE Biography 

Then it's on to our Wizards Rewind back to Fully Loaded 2000. We all watched the show in preparation for tonight, so we talk about the card, the players, the matches and much more. It's a great trip down memory lane

We are joined by the Pale Pro Champion "The Young Gun" Chandler Hopkins to talk about his upcoming defense against Mysterious Q, his time in AEW, the upcoming CYN event, being in a relationship with a wrestler and much more. This is a great interview with Chandler and if you're not familiar with him, this is a great introduction. Get to know him, he's going to be a star in this business. 

After Chandler we talk a little about 1995 WWF, The Headshrinkers & Man Mountain Rock before jumping into the NWA. We are on the road to NWA 74. Tim Storm gets gifted a title shot, Tony is a bit annoyed with Powerrr and we talk about Billy's comments about Empowered. Plus we run down the NWA 74 Card.
