It was good catching with someone I trained with almost 15 years ago, and great to see how far he has come with consistency and effort. Listening to his journey of staying in hotels the night of the show so he can appear for training and gradually becoming a 10 time british heavyweight champion is not only inspiring to listeners who one day wish to become athletes but ...

It was fantastic talking to Merv, as I first met him at our local 10th planet jiu jitsu club where we train at 6am multiple times a week and getting an insight into his great MMA career and current gym.

(Featuring Adam Mansfield: www.facebook.com/adam.mansfield2) A fantastic catch up with my former wrestling coach Adam, whom I grew up referring to as Mr Mansfield. I have a great deal of respect for the methods he used to train me and the old school art of professional wrestling. I count myself lucky to have been trained by Adam.

The journey spans back to 2016 when we were filling up boxes of chicken as it was a fixed price for the salad bar. This eventually became a journey into various Tesco visits and Kippers Tuesday, Mackerel Thursday, large Dorito consumption and lots of beer. As time went on we still remained comrades and have visited churches, yachts and fire exit staircases. From Mayfair to London Bridge to Dubai, we have had adventures pretty much ...

This was a great opportunity to catch up with Sanjay and also find out what it's like building a promotion from the ground up. Coming to the decision to promote shows and sell tickets is not only a business risk but also not an easy achievement and Sanjay turned it into a growing business that is now expanding across the UK and Internationally.

Although I met Sanjay as a young fan in 2004/05, I got to know ...

(Featuring Jack and Aakash) A much needed catch up but also an in-depth discussion with two very instrumental friends of mine who were ringside at my first two professional wrestling matches. It is safe to say their support motivated me to continue training and the passion we had for the business was what kept us into the industry. We talked all things that we usually discussed during our college years. Topics ranging from top wr...

KOM is based out of Florida and was a huge part of HRA Wrestling, not only the champion but also the top guy for a long time.

I had the priviledge and opportunity to catch up with my first and only wrestling coach, a man who not only trained me how to wrestle but also taught me how to find myself as a person. I first started training with Justin around the beginning of 2009 until the later part of 2011 and these were truly the years where I grew from a boy into a young man. He taught his students how to be tough, strong but also do the right thing. I took...
