Hey everybody! For this episode we talk to a young pro wrestler who is early in his career, Denim Kovic. Denim has wrestled for New York Championship Wrestling, Truly Independent Wrestling, and Wrestle Association HEARTSTRONG Gumi (cheap plug) during his short career but has already been turning heads. Listen as he tells us how he discovered wrestling and who some of his early favorites were along with what wrestlers he likes to watch today. What made him decide to go through with being a professional wrestler. What made him choose the school he did and what training was like for him. What his first goal as a wrestler was. Who were some of the people that were most helpful to him as he was starting his journey as a pro wrestler. What were some of the challenges he faced right out of the gate. What it’s like for him when being in a tag or singles match. What have been some of his most rewarding experiences and his goals for the future. Then of course we end with the random questions. Denim is a young talent I see tons of potential in and I really think will be something special in wrestling. He has all the raw talent in the world and I can’t wait to be able to watch him grow and succeed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! After a bit of time off the show is back! For this episode we talk to a man who isn’t as talked about as he should be, a former TPW Deathmatch champion, Nefarious Creedmore. Listen as he tells us about how he got into wrestling and who some of his early favorites were. How he broke into the business and the age that he did. He tells us about his introduction to deathmatch wrestling and how he wound up in his first deathmatch. What his least favorite weapon is and what some of his biggest challenges have been. Where he draws influence from and what he finds most rewarding in wrestling. We also talk about his upcoming match this Saturday for Total Psychopathic Wrestling. Creedmore is someone who really has a mind for wrestling and he gets to show a bit of that here and it was truly a pleasure to be able to talk to him. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! In this episode we talk to Steven Johnson, one of the minds behind Total Psychopathic Wrestling. In this episode we cover every TPW event since the last time we talked. Which means we cover last summer all the way up until now. We even go over this Saturday’s card. If you’re a big TPW fan this episode is perfect for you because it gives you a real peek behind the scenes into how certain things came together and some stories you might not hear otherwise. Steven is someone I always find it incredibly easy to talk too and it really shows in this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! For this episode we talk to the current TPW Deathmatch champion Raven Havok! We talk about how he got into wrestling and his unique answer. What made him want to be a wrestler and what his training was like. What was his first goal as a pro wrestler. Who was his first deathmatch idol. What made him want to do his first deathmatch and if he thought it would be a one time thing. What weapons can he not stand. We talk about his monumental 2020 in TPW and how his 2021 started off with him winning the TPW Deathmatch championship. His title defenses are also covered. We talk about his win of the Colt 45 Memorial Cup at XWW’s “Death to the Queen 2”. Then finally we cover this upcoming weekend’s show “45”, a memorial show for Colt 45. And as always finishing up with some ridiculous questions. I honestly feel like Raven is one of the most underrated deathmatch wrestlers in the country and I throughly enjoyed my time taking to him and I can’t wait to have him back on the show again. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! For this episode we get to talk to “The King of Chaos” himself Logan Black! Listen here as we talk about how he became a fan of wrestling and who some of his early favorites were. When he made the decision of wanting to be a pro wrestler and some stories of his training. We talk about what the indie scene was like when he broke into wrestling compared to what it is like today. We talk about his 2020 and what it was like when the world came crashing down. We talk about his debut on Limitless Wrestling’s “The Road” and what that experience was like. From there we get onto his role as a trainer and what it’s like to be able to work with the next generation of talent. I also talk to him about his own podcast “Year One”. What made him decide to start his own podcast and why to just focus on someone’s first year of wrestling. Then of course comes the random questions. This was such a fun conversation that as always on this podcast goes way off topic at times but that’s one of the things that makes these conversations so special. This was one with a person who has given so much to wrestling and you can tell how much he loves it when he speaks about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! For this episode I talk to “The Coney Island Warrior” Travis Dykes! This is one of my interviews I find to be one of the most hilarious because Travis and I have a similar sense of humor so if you like us then you’ll love it. We talk about a lot here like what got him into wrestling and what made him want to be a wrestler. What his training was like. What his first few years on the indies were like. If he always wanted to be a deathmatch wrestler. Where does The Coney Island Warrior nickname come from. What is one weapon he wants nothing to do with. Why is it that he bleeds so damn much. Who are some of his favorite people he’s been able to share a ring with and what are his plans for the future. Of course this thing breaks off into tangents at every turn. So I also hope you enjoy the talk about Toyota’s, Adult Swim cartoons, and of course the random questions at the end. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Hey everybody! For this episode I’m talking to one half of Higher Society, Paris Van Dale! Here we catch up since her last time on the podcast and talk about being on Limitless Wrestling’s “The Road” and Chaotic Wrestling’s “Reloaded”. Of course things get off topic and the random questions in this one are more than memorable. Paris is one of New England’s best up and comers and despite only being in the business for a short time she has the ring presence and charisma of someone who has been doing this for a while. I can’t wait to see where wrestling takes her in the future. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

Some of the struggles she had in her first few years and how she got to Japan. There is also a ton of side talk about so many things including race in wrestling, 90’s Nick shows, and Aja Kong.
