We are back this week with an awesome episode, mostly because we have an awesome guest. Brox Boulder joins us for a long form interview where we talk about how he came up in the business, being trained by Bobby Blaze and Jillian Hall, then becoming a trainer at FTC Art of Grappling alongside those folks. Believe me when I tell you, Brox has some crazy Bobby Blaze stories you won't want to miss!

While helping the new generation find success in the wrestling business, Brox is also focusing on his own wrestling career. He is currently 1/2 of the Route 33 Wrestling Tag Team champions, Grappling, Inc. along with Titan Troy and a former Art of Grappling champion. Grappling Inc. will be defending their tag team titles this Saturday at Route 33 Wrestling's latest event in Spencer, West Virginia where they will take on Beefcake and Chaz Monroe. Brox talks about how impressed he is by Route 33 Wrestling, how much he loves the town of Spencer, and he helps us preview this Saturday's show.

On top of all that, Brox has a podcast called Hitting the Ropes with Brox Boulder that is rapidly gaining steam in the wrestling community and has already led Brox to a very cool new opportunity with The Wrestling Society Network. Brox will tell us about the genesis of the podcast and how it's grown. Plus, he is gracious enough to give Bob and Jon some pointers for new podcasters!!

We wanted to focus on the Brox interview this week, so we streamlined some things and saved some topics for next week, but we do talk about the announcement that Game Changer Wrestling is coming to Maryland in May at MCW Pro Wrestling 's R.J. Meyer Arena. We also congratulate fifteen Champions that were crowned over the past week and make our regular Youtube recommendation. This week, we watch the latest episode of Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling, "Charged" (Episode 434) which features a #1 Contenders match for the tag titles, Cease & Desist vs JK Pop, plus we talk about our discovery of another new Indy Wrestling Experience favorite, Lola the Adventurer!!

It's just me this week, folks, but we have got a lot to talk about. We will take a look at International Wrestling Cartel - IWC Reloaded, which featured Bill Collier vs Andrew Palace for the IWC title, plus Marcus Mathers vs Sam Holloway in a WWE ID showcase for the Super Indy Title.

We will also talk about House Of Glory Wrestling "Watch the Throne" from this past Friday night which saw Mike Santana defend the HOG Championship against Ricky Starks, Matt Cardona vs Mustafa Ali, and my first chance to see up-and-comer Phumi Nkuta.

Although, I did not watch The People vs Changer Wrestling in it's entirety, there is much to discuss from that show. Brandon Kirk had his final match after announcing his retirement last week. Effy became your new GCW Champion, defeating Mance Warner in a crazy match.

Also on that show, Allie Katch suffered a terrible injury to her leg performing a tope suicida on Effy in their match earlier in the night. There is a GoFundMe up to help Allie Katch with her medical bills. Please contribute as much or as little as you can to help Allie Katch through this tough time. Link below:
