We got another jam packed show of The Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast
\n
\nWe are joined by Monster Factory Student and Longtime fan Christian Rocco. We go way back to when Christian was in his early teens, now at 21, he\u2019s training to be a professional wrestler at The Monster Factory. We catch up with him, hit him with some trivia, talk about Virgil & have a real fun time.
\n
\nWe talk a little NWA, By Any Means Necessary Night 1, and what a great show it was before we are joined by our second guest of the night.
\n
\nTaylor Rust, from ROH, formerly NXT & NJPW joins us to talk about the trails and tribulations of the wrestling business and what the last 18 months were like for him. Plus we talk some Kings, and NHL. It\u2019s a must listen to interview
\n
\nAfter a brief commercial break and Patreon plugs we are back to talk about the WWE Releases. Were we surprised? Disappointed? Listen to find out. This conversation takes us all over the place, to NXT, Survivor Series and beyond, this somehow transitions into Matt ranting about the IWC, you can tell the Jack Apple was flowing tonight.
\n
\nA little AEW talk ahead of Full Gear, Matt speculates that Okada\/Danielson is on the horizon. Tony has no idea that Rocky Romero is wrestling on Dynamite. We hit on some MLW, Impact & NJPW as well.
\n
\nIts a full show, with lots of laughs, insights and the usual wizards nonsense on the road to 10 Years.
