Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast

To follow up last week's episode with tag team partner Paul Diamond, we've got another very rare interview today with former Orient Express and Bad Company member, Pat Tanaka. Known as a tag team specialist in the AWA and WWF, Tanaka's size and moves were deemed innovative for the time he competed and he retells the stories that helped mold his career and overcome a lot of adversity during a "big man" era. We also get amazing insight into the famed Royal Rumble 1991 opening match between the Orient Express and The Rockers where the four men competing turned three minuets into an all time classic.

It's faction warfare today on the Triple Threat Podcast. We breakdown the laughable WWE top 10 factions list by breaking down what makes a good group, how many members is too many members and what sort of psychology goes into building the proper gang to support your roster. We also hear from Shane, JP and Chad what their top 3 factions of all time are as well as throw out some fantasy booking to The Franchise as he books his very own (non Triple Threat) faction.

This week The Triple Threat Podcast is back for episode #65 and welcoming in a very good friend of the show, the always hilarious and incomparable, Vince Russo. Reminiscing on their 25 year friendship dating back to Shane's Dean Douglas days through the wild-ride of WCW and finally in TNA, Russo and The Franchise discuss how their very similar business practices kept them on the same level and how they always gravitated to one another in each promotion they worked in together. We also get Vince's take on the infamous "Viagra on a pole match" that took place during the tail end of the Nitro era and what exactly made Vince Russo see that Shane Douglas is truly a "mark" deep down.

He's back from the land down under and he's ready to FRANCHISE your ass for episode #64 of his Triple Threat Podcast as Shane Douglas RETURNS to the airwaves. Giving Chad and JP the rundown of his two week tour with Battle Championship Wrestling and the EXTREME cast of characters that were also there wrestling, Shane relives and details some of the finer points of his trip and paints a very nice picture of Dominic Denucci's return to the Australian territory that he ruled back in the 1960s. But the fun doesn't stop there as Shane gives his thoughts on Cody Rhodes winning the NWA Championship, the success of All In and stemming from her guest hosting gig on our show two weeks ago he comments on Francine's heartfelt testimony regarding the body shaming thrown her way by "dirt sheet" writers during the hey-day of ECW.

With The Franchise still touring Australia for one last week, we decided to go out and find another link to the Franchise's career to guest host while he is absent and it is none other than former ECW World Champion, Mikey Whipwreck. During the episode we get Mikey's thoughts on All In and if it had the ECW flavor that everyone is relating it to and the "us vs. them" mentality as well as Francine's comments last week on past body shaming comments by Dave Meltzer and Mikey having very strong feelings about that topic and finally the vibe of the ECW locker room when Shane returned in 1996 from the WWF.
