The Steve Austin Show

Rip Rogers has a hell of a twitter account (@Hustler2754) filled with all sorts of great advice and observations about the pro-wrestling biz! Yeah, a lot's changed since he was last in the squared circle, but as you'll hear him say, not the fundamentals or the psychology! He's telling it like it is when it comes to heels vs babyfaces, working punches, bumping, selling, reading the crowd, and tucking in those boot laces! He's also got stories about working with Dick The Bruiser, Lanny Poffo, and Fit Finlay.

Kevin Owens has plenty to say about Chris Jericho and the Festival of Friendship, taking on Goldberg at Fastlane, and the anticipation of Wrestlemania in Orlando. He and Steve also have a very lengthy discussion on the art and the use of the Stone Cold Stunner, and what might have made it more effective against Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. Plus, Kevin has stories about his time in the indies, his first days at NXT, and making the move to the WWE main roster.

You wanna know what it takes to run and win a Spartan Race or survive a Navy SEAL training camp? Broken Skull Challenge champ Hunter McIntyre returns to talk about the nitty-gritty of extreme fitness competition! He's also talking Macho Man Randy Savage, tattoos, and a possible career in pro-wrestling. Plus, hear the latest headaches, hassles, and horseshit from 317 Gimmick Street. #DogPoo vs #DogShit

The reigning champ of the Broken Skull Challenge, Hunter McIntyre, spent his formative years partying and experimenting with drugs. It took multiple rehab stays, a near overdose on cocaine, and his first-ever Spartan race to get him cleaned up, out of trouble, and living a healthier life! He's speaking candidly about his drug use, fighting, partying, lost Olympic opportunity, dropping out of school, and how he finally found cross fit, training, and nutrition which got him on the champion path he's living today.

Paul Roma returns to tell more stories about Power and Glory, his departure from WWF, his relationship with Vince McMahon, jumping to WCW, and lockerroom fights. Hes also talking about Ric Flair, Lex Luger, the Hart Foundation, and wrestling in Europe.

Ted Fowler checks in from Rockport, TX, where he's recovering from ulnar nerve surgery (and heavily medicated), but that does't stop him from weighing in on the Elimination Chamber, the Grammy awards, and giving a blow-by-blow account of his very recent medical procedure (and post-surgery benefits). Steve also has a story or two about traveling on the heel bus back-in-the day, and an update on Hershey!

Paul Roma was half of The Young Stallions tag team, half of the Power & Glory tag team, and got the best wrestling advice ever from Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig (a lot of which Paul is passing on to other young wrestlers via his Paradise Alley wrestling school in Connecticut). He got his big wrestling break thanks to Mr. Fuji, and shares some of the classic ribs that Fuji pulled on many unsuspecting wrestlers. Pauls also talking about how he met his Young Stallions partner Jim Powers, his friendship with Harley Race, meeting Andre The Giant for the first time, and what he learned from Paul Orndorff.

Oh hell yeah! The Rock 'n' Roll Express are going into the WWE Hall of Fame! It's about dang time!

Hear how he got teamed up with Ricky Morton, where the name and look came from, what it was like working for Bill Watts, Jim Crockett, and Jerry Lawler, and how he got Jim Cornette to stop shoot-swinging that tennis racquet at him!
