On the first Georgia Wrestling Now of 2013, Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins and Wrestling with Pop Culture are joined by Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman to announce the winners of the Georgia Wrestling Awards for 2012. Many of the winners join us as we make these prestigious announcements.
Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins, Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman and Wrestling with Pop Culture have gotten to the bottom of a few wrestling mysteries on Georgia Wrestling Now. And this week we find out how the once happy-go-lucky Aisha Sunshine evolved into the now-deranged Dementia D’Rose, one of the most enigmatic female wrestlers around. We also talk to Old School Wrestling Alliance’s Clint Eller about this new promotion’s upcoming events at the Georgia Hapkido Academy. Listen live every Monday at 7 p.m. and call 347-324-5735 for questions or comments.

While most of us are getting back to the grind after an extended holiday weekend, Georgia Wrestling Now brings you its second installment in a three-part series with Pro Wrestling Resurrection Heavyweight Champion, Peachstate Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champion and Georgia wrestling veteran Rick Michaels. Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins is still on vacation, so Wrestling with Pop Culture is joined by aspiring Atlanta comedian West “Knife” Evans, who has spent some time in the ring as a referee and designed posters for Platinum Championship Wrestling and Monstrosity Championship Wrestling. Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman also stops by to discuss Global Championship Wrestling’s event last Saturday (was WWE‘s Sin Cara there as advertised?) and recent and upcoming events throughout the Georgia wrestling scene. Listen live every Monday at 7 p.m.

Georgia Wrestling Now, with Wrestling with Pop Culture, Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins and Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman, have plenty to talk about after a weekend that included big shows from Universal Independent Wrestling, Alternative Pro Wrestling, Chikara, Rampage Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Resurrection and more. But our guests have even more to talk about given their respective backgrounds. A legend in almost every aspect of professional wrestling, Ringside Rap co-host Les Thatcher joins us to talk about the wrestling seminars he’s conducting at Deep Southern Championship Wrestling Oct. 13-14. Later in the show, undisputed Platinum Championship Wrestling Champion “The Demigod” Mason graces us with his presence. Which reminds me, this is our first anniversary show and Mason was the very first guest on GWN. So things come full circle on this edition of GWN!

Georgia Wrestling Now, with Wrestling with Pop Culture‘s Jonathan Williams, Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins and Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman, does a special broadcast live from Platinum Championship Wrestling’s Sacred Ground: Chapter Three on Sept. 29. Our broadcast begins during the first match, so whether you were there or want to try to find out what you missed, listen here. This show was our first attempt at broadcasting live from a wrestling event, so please excuse the audio issues and other mishaps. And if Matt and my self-indulgent attempt at being wrestling commentators is unbearable, you can just read Larry Goodman’s Sacred Ground review.
They help maintain order during matches. They wear those zebra-striped shirts. And they usually have their backs turned while the bad guys get away with heinous acts against our favorite wrestlers. They’re the referees, and if they do their jobs well they tend to go unnoticed. But we’re giving them a chance to share a different perspective of wrestling as Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins and I are joined by Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman to dedicate this week’s Georgia Wrestling Now to some of the state’s hardest-working rule-enforcers: Dee Byers, Duke Korey, Dustin Robinson and Ken Wallace. We also discuss recent and upcoming events in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, EMPIRE Wrestling, NWA Anarchy, Platinum Championship Wrestling, NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling, Fall Brawl II, Peachstate Wrestling Alliance and more. Listen live Mondays at 7 p.m. or hear the archive any time after that. And call 347-324-5735 for questions and comments.
