This week on In the Room, Brady Hicks and the gang break down some of the top news and rumors coming out of TNA, including Hogan Twitter-gate and the World title tournament. The gang also takes some time to address listener comments regarding WWE SummerSlam, and talks about Jim Kettner passing the ECWA torch.
This week on In the Room, Brady Hicks and the gang take a detailed look at WWE SummerSlam, then indie wrestler Ricky Reyes stops by and talks about some of the things that tick him off in wrestling. What does Reyes think about Internet reporters? What’s wrong with certain wrestlers’ approaches? Has ROH handled Tyler Black correctly? And how can Tyler take a page from John Cena?
This week on In the Room, one time TNA star Austin “Consequences” Creed stops by to talk about his big Super 8 tournament victory, then former WWE.com (and current Pro Wrestling Illustrated) writer Louie Dee checks in to discuss developmental, the current WWE product, and so much more. Plus, is DJ leaving PWI Weekly?!
This week on In the Room, Nick Eugene” Dinsmore stops by and offers his thoughts on everything from The Rock to Kurt Angle to Hulk Hogan to John Cena, plus the honor of competing in ths year’s ECWA Super 8 tournament, and the pleasures of eating with Kenny Bolin. Another great interview!
On Being “Eugene”:
I just wanted to do something different, and came up with this idea for a super-fan who couldn’t quite tie his shoes. I was happy with the way it took off. Eugene was a special boy that captured the imagination of the fans.
On WM21:
Muhammad Hassan had me in the Camel Clutch and I heard ‘Real American’ and out came the Hulkster with the red and yellow. I can’t even expain the emotion or how that fan reaction felt. That was a real career highlight for me.
On Defeating Kurt Angle for his gold medal:
Kurt has such a grasp on the businss and he really understood it. He was really rough on me. Every time I came out with a black eye or some sort of bruise or my hair pulled out. As much as I cursed him when we were in the ring together, he always brought it.
On the Ohio Valley Experience:
Looking back now, that time period was really special to me. John Cena and I lovingly refer to it as our Camelot. We didn’t know who would be called up. Truthfully, there were even more who should have been.
Plus, Nick speaks on the controversial nature of Eugene, his experiences in dealing with Eric Bischoff, and who from OVW should have become a big star as well. All that and so much more. Thank you everyone for your continued support!
This week on the In the Room podcast, former two-time ROH Champion “A-Double” Austin Aries checks in and offers his thoughts on all things wrestling. A true gem for any Ring of Honor, TNA, WWE - or any wrestling – fan.
On TNA:
Maybe I wasn’t patient enough for my opportunity. Maybe I tried too hard to make my own opportunity. I don’t regret my time there. I’m eager to give, but the time just wasn’t right. Still, it was a time to do something different and see if it worked. It was a valuable experience.
On “Good” Matches:
If I’m the author of the story, how can I be wrong?
On his ROH Contract:
I’m going to just see what happens. I believe in ROH as a company, but I believe anywhere I go I can be an asset.
On the Younger Generation:
There are a lot of guys with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough quality places for people to learn about wrestling. If you’re willing to stick with this long enough, you can really make a career out of this. You just have to be dedicated enough.
All that, plus, find out which current ROH midcarder A-Double believes could EXCEL in WWE, comparing ROH to ECW, who the REAL star of the WWF was in the 1980s, and much, much more.
This week on In the Room, former ECW World Champion JUSTIN CREDIBLE stops by, and Kevin McElvaney rants about Bryan Danielson. As always, you can follow along on www.thebradyhicks.com.
