Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas flies solo! Referee Mike Crockett and the New England Pro Wrestling Academy's Brian Fury are both MIA, so Milonas is in the driver's seat this week.

But before the burial, The Brawler addresses some controversy after a clip of him from last week's NWA Powerrr episode began circulating in wrestling trainer circles!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas is hitting the highways, biways and airways, but Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury returns to join referee Mike Crockett for an interview with his oldest friend! Justin McIsaac (@Justin_McIsaac), known as Justin Powers or Justin Shaype in the ring, went to high school with Fury and their careers started down the same path, but ended up going in very different directions.

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett kick it old school without Chaotic Wrestling's Brian Fury this week, and "old school" is our friend Adult Mark's middle name (a weird, two-word middle name, incidentally), so he steps in for our look back at what was the gateway to pro wrestling super fandom back in the day - wrestling magazines! But before we do that, The Brawler recounts in spoiler-free detail his journey to Atlanta for the recent NWA Powerrr tapings, where he debuted alongside his tag team partner the Beer City Bruiser! Hear about his unnecessary Uber ride, who he refused to get in the front seat of the car with, and with which legendary wrestlers he rocked-and-rolled (almost) all night! Also in this episode, Brian checks out on this Promo About Nothing, Crockett's pillow talk, and we do a little apartment wrestling for fun!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are without Performance Center regular Brian Fury this week, but they've done this before. Milonas called in a favor, and we've got ROH's play-by-play man Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) with us - a guy who made his official debut as lead announcer the same night Brian made his initial ROH appearance! Ian gets into inheriting the announcing mantle from Kevin Kelly, his participation in the upcoming RetroMania Wrestling video game, what goes into preparing for an event, directing traffic in the booth at Madison Square Garden last year (and the history he personally made there), his wrestling debut and the flying elbow heard 'round the world, his Ring Of Honor outlook for 2020, and his new podcast featuring ROH Ambassador Cary Silkin!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are without UPS's Brian Fury, but that doesn't damper the festive mood as today, they celebrate FESTIVUS! And, as any Seinfeld fan worth their salt knows, Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances! Mike and Brian have their own, and of course, they invited friends and listeners to join in on the fun. Through this process, The Brawler addresses one of the most damning critics of Ring Of Honor Wrestling directly in a rant you HAVE to hear!

Ring Of Honor Wrestling's "The Brawler" Brian Milonas, the New England Pro Wrestling Academy's Brian Fury, and referee Mike Crockett are all back in the same place again, at Fury's school, and they've invited a guest who is very familiar with that facility! He's a former trainer at the original school, the Chaotic Training Center, where he put young Kingpin through the paces back in the day. He's Dukes Dalton, AKA Jim Cody, AKA Annihilator Seek, AKA Dancing Dukes, AKA Kid Delicious, and we talk a little bit about everything he went through in his career. Dukes participated in WWF developmental before there was a developmental system - being around guys like Val Venis, Edge and Kurt Angle at the Funkin' Dojo shows in the late 90s. He also had a stint in the lean years of the NWA as one-half of its World tag Team Champions, and wait to you hear what they went through to try to keep the belts! Hear tons of stories about Killer Kowalski, plus JBL grabbing junk, chasing John Cena out of the building, Isaac Yankem's bathroom break-in and more! A great talk with an old chum! And also this week, this Promo About Nothing is not hot, Crockett does a leave-behind, and Brian Milonas has an ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HIS FUTURE!
