There is so much good content in this episode, why are you still reading this?

I'm sure you've found yourself wondering exactly how someone else became a wrestling fan. Well, I've decided to start asking that very question (along with some others) and I'll be bringing you those interviews on this Kayfabe Forever series that I'm calling "My Wrestling Story". My guest this week is the Internet's own Jared Rea who will join me and tell his wrestling story. Find out how he became a fan, what he would change about the current WWE product, and why he loves Velveteen Dream SO DAMN MUCH!

KF My Wrestling Story - Jared Rea - 5/10/18

Unlike the stupidity surrounding the potential Undertaker and John Cena match, I'm not just teasing, I'm delivering! Join me as I talk myself into picking winners for every single match across this weekend's most high-profile events: NXT Takeover: New Orleans and Wrestlemania 34. I also get a little cranky when talking about the battle royals and again towards the end when I discuss the whole Undertaker/Cena thing, so apologies in advance! Kayfabe Forever Episode 13: It's What the World Is Listening To!

Kayfabe Forever Episode 13 - 04/06/18

With the height of wrestling season upon us, while others may Punch Out!!!, I'm punching in to bring you this week's episode celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Wrestlemania XIV. I'll take you through all the highs (Undertaker/Kane!!!), lows (Marco? Mero!), and groans (Gennifer Flowers) of this truly industry-changing event. 

Kayfabe Forever Episode 12 - 03/30/18

Oh hell yeah! Kayfabe Forever is back from a work-induced hiatus with the story of most electrifying trilogy of Wrestlemania matches in the history of sports entertainment: The Austin/Rock trilogy! I'll take you from the roots of this rivalry as an IC title feud all the way through Austin's final match at WMXIX, with plenty of clips included so you can experience again the moments as they happened. We're on the Road to Wrestlemania, but take a detour down Jabroni Dr and stop off at the Smackdown Hotel!

Kayfabe Forever Episode 11 - 03/24/18

Wrestlemania IV is "What the World Is Watching" on March 27, 1988, and this year's edition of the Colossal Tussle would feature a tournament for the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship. In this episode, we'll take a No Holds Barred look at why they WWF found their championship vacated, for both kayfabe and real-life reasons, and review the entire card of Wrestlemania IV along with who wins it all.  A winner is YOU, this week on Kayfabe Forever!

Kayfabe Forever Episode 10 - 03/09/18

OOH YEAH! This week's episode is about the one and only Macho Man Randy Savage. I'll discuss his life and career (ok, I'll try not to spend too much time on his WCW run) and spend some time breaking down some of his classic matches and feuds along the way. This one takes a little longer to listen to than your average cup of coffee, but I've heard that the cream always rises to the top, so give this week's Kayfabe Forever a listen, DIG IT?

Kayfabe Forever Episode 9 - 03/02/18

Gather around everyone, it's time for Episode 8 of Kayfabe Forever! This week,  I'll tell you a tale of Golden Lovers; Elimination Chambers good and bad; and the cautionary tale of Jim Crockett Promotions: the most talent-rich wrestling promotion ever. "Mark, where do Horsemen come from?" "That's easy, sport: Jim Crockett Promotions!" All that and more, this week on Kayfabe Forever!

Kayfabe Forever Episode 8 - 02/26/18

While recording this episode, I almost lost my smile. Don't worry: sunny days are ahead for Kayfabe Forever! Join me this week when I talk about the great Bret Hart's incredible WWF tenure and I take you through some of the "The Hitman's" greatest matches, some of which you know already and some are lesser known hidden gems. While not exactly excellently executed, this episode of Kayfabe Forever is beyond a shadow of a doubt the longest there is, the longest there was, and the longest there ever will be! 

Kayfabe Forever Episode 7 - 02/15/18

Since this Friday's regular episode is all about The Hitman, I went ahead and eliminated the news segment from the show...by making it a stand-alone mini-sode (not a word)! In this special news-isode(also not a word), I'll talk all about the big weekend that WWE had in Philly and get you up to speed about the latest Bullet Club drama that came out of New Japan's New Beginning's event in Sapporo.

Kayfabe Forever Special News Episode - 02/01/18

On this podcast, I re-tell wrestling's greatest stories and celebrate wrestling's greatest performers, using clips to bring the most exhilarating moments to life!
