VOC Nation Wrestling Network

Prepare yourself for the greatest show that has ever aired.  For years, Anthony & Gartiz have been debating their uniquely diverse views on everything and nothing at the same time. Now, you get to listen. Wrestling is still real to them, they listen to better rap than most, have a love/hate relationship with movies, and don’t worry about climate change because a super volcano is going to destroy everything.  Their perspective on day-to -day happenings will change the way you look at life.  Ranging from the funny to the serious and all the craziness in between…no topic is off limits.

The VOC Nation Radio Network traces its roots back to 2009 in Philadelphia.  Bruce Wirt took over the afternoon shift on the Voice America Health and Wellness Network and proclaimed himself, “your new ‘Voice of Choice’ in afternoon radio.”  The V-O-C in VOC Nation was born.

The VOC Nation Radio Network spun away from WNJC Phila in October 2012 and took to the “cloud”, using their solid fan base to instantly become one of the most listened to mediums on the Internet.  In 2014, VOC Nation merged with Brady Hicks' IN THE ROOM Internet Radio Network, giving the combined medium over 50,000 monthly listeners. 

VOC Nation Radio streams live programming 7 days a week, and has forged partnerships with BlogTalkRadio, Stitcher Internet Radio, Podomatic, iTunes, and GoDaddy to bring daily live entertainment and podcasts to listeners worldwide.  VOC Nation has over 100,000 twitter followers and ranks in the top 1% of podcasts as ranked by Podomatic, and in the top 5% of streaming programming as ranked by Stitcher.

When we heard the name of this show we all scratched our collective heads. Surely, we thought, this was a rib or something. But it wasn't. There really was going to be a WWE pay per view event called Great Balls of Fire. And if you'd told any of us in that initial period of bemused shock that it would wind up looking like one of the top-to-bottom best shows of the year going into it... well, you'd have likely been laughed at.

That's exactly what we're staring down, though. On paper, this show looks like it could be fantastic. But did it live up to the hype? That's what Steven Bell and Aftershock are here to figure out. From Braun and Roman in an Ambulance Match to Sheamus and Cesaro taking on the Hardys in an Tag Team Championship Ironman Match, all the way to Sasha Banks going after the Women's Championship against the Goddess, Alexa Bliss and the potential Dream Match of Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed crown... man. This one loaded card. And that's not even half the matches on the show.

So join us here on LOP Radio's Aftershock for immediate reaction and a full recap and grade of WWE's incredibly oddly named but potentially ridiculously awesome Great Balls of Fire PPV LIVE mere moments after the event ends!

IN THE ROOM

Wrestlehood

PolitiSized is a political panel discussion show with Hosts King, Todd and Francis. Tonight's guest was Suzzanne Monk!

This week, Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Brady Hicks, with Derrick McDonald, are joined IN THE ROOMon WEXP Philly by Bandido, Jr., the fourth entrant in the East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA) Super 8 tournament, Saturday, April 7th in Newark, Delaware. What does Bandido, a second-generation indie star – and Homicide trainee – think about his competition in this year’s tourney? What are his thoughts on getting into the ring with everyone from former TNA star Amazing Red to his own tag parter, Azrieal? And what does the future hold for this talented Northeast independent standout? All that, plus more WrestleMania talk, especially related to The Rock/John Cena and their upcoming singoff, and the wildcard that is Shawn Michaels, and talk of Ring of Honor and the rising star that is Adam Cole. Thanks, as always, for the support!

Mike from East Philly asks:

I was watching Bloodsport and I wonder if the Dim Mak (a.k.a. Deathtouch) actually exists. I know if you hit a person hard in the temple, he can die instantly. But I don’t think that’s the real Death Touch, that’s more of a Death Blow.

So do you think there is a way to kill a man by touch? Or is it a skill from ancient Japanese karate (pronounced karatay) that has been lost.

We can’t really answer this because we are not of the Tanaka Clan. But we at least take a good stab at it.
