We’re back with another edition of IN THE ROOM, this week featuring our very special guest and good friend of the show Zach Gowen of WWE fame. Gowen’s story is a truly remarkable one and anyone who is not familiar will definitely want to check it out. At just 8 years old, Tenacious Z lost his leg to cancer, then went on to have a distinguished career as a high-flying star! What was it like for Gowen to be in the ring with guys like Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Vince McMahon, and Brock Lesnar less than a year into his career? What’s the story behind his awesome “Kicking it with the Kids” anti-bullying message? Plus, Zach’s experiences teaming with Gregory Iron to form “The Handicapped Heroes,” competing in New Moon Rising Wrestling, and so … much … more. Plus, Brady Hicks, Anthony Sarlo, and Ray Bogusz take more of a look at Curtis Axel, WWE Raw from last night, erotic fiction, and a truly memorable Bleacher Report article courtesy of Mike Bessler. It was a fun show. Thanks, as always, for the support!
What another great edition of IN THE ROOM we had tonight, as Brady Hicks, Derrick McDonald, and Ray Bogusz were joined by indie sensation and (no doubt) future star of the business Tatevik The Gamer and her business partner Steve Stasiak. Both are awesome people inside and out of the ring, and of course Tatevik is pretty easy on the eyes as well! Find out right from the future Diva herself what it’s like to be regarded as “just another pretty face,” the world of competing in martial arts, plus acting, dancing, and so much more. Plus, open lines for two hours as Brady and the gang talk WWE Extreme Rules, HHH vs. Joe Hennig, ethnic stereotypes in wrestling, and WWE’s scrapped plans for several DVDs. All that, plus, say it with me Cujo, so … much … more! Thanks as always for the support!
