  • DR. KEITH PRESENTS: The Greatest Wrestler Ever!!!

    One of our biggest DKP shows this year and we’re joined by two great guests for it! In the spirit of the GREATEST WRESTLER EVER project coming to a close, Alan first sits down with his pal Jamesie (who we introduced you to in a fleeting appearance last week) to go in depth on our ballots, and the results in the PWO countdown. Yoshihiro Takayama, Bryan Danielson and El Generico – just some of the many names that Alan & Jamesie discussed when not going on tangents about THE WRESTLING CHANNEL!!! Then we get a little different perspective as Alan is joined by the offensively young Case Lowe who has the best story ever of how he became a wrestling fan. Case threw himself into the deep end with this project, watching a ton of stuff and discovering a bunch of new wrestlers to him like Tatsumi Fujinami and Stan Hansen who ended up being very high on his ballot. Case is a huge Dragon Gate fan so he and Alan break down their DG placings as well. An absolutely packed show with a ton of great discussion! CHECK IT!!!

  • Wrestling Weekly: Flair, Living the Gimmick, Bongs (!), Gallows & Anderson

    Lots of interesting topics today including Ric Flair’s party lifestyle, whose side are Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson really on, certain things Les refused to do in the ring during his wrestling days and more!  Some great questions in the mailbag this week, so after a rambling start on the NFL Draft, getting to ballgames really late, having your Instagram hacked on the biggest day of your life, Rip Rogers and a little more wackiness to start, we’ll answer your questions!  First, we’ll tackle guys who “live their gimmick” so much that it seems they can’t turn it off (17:44), the greenest wrestler ever called up to WWE from HWA when Les was in charge of that developmental territory (29:08), instances where Les refused to do a certain spot in a match because it didn’t work for him and why (including a situation that saw Les as a HEEL MANAGER) (34:34), could a tag team (past or present) be a main event act in 2016 WWE (43:40), nearfall sequences near the end of matches being too formulaic (59:16) and is it ever too late to get into bodybuilding (70:17)?  Oh, thoughts on which side Gallows and Anderson are on are at the 77:53 mark.  Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!

  • DR. KEITH PRESENTS: Uptown Funkers!!

    This week’s DKP is what we like to call in the biz, a “hodge podge” of a show, but no matter how hodgy or podgy there is still plenty for you to enjoy as Alan is joined by his pals James and Iain to talk all sorts of wrestling topics. We grabbed Jamesie outside the Tivoli after a great OTT show to briefly talk about our respective ballots for the Greatest Wrestler Ever project. Unfortunately that was cut short but Jamesie will be back for a more in depth conversation soon! After that opening segment Iain joins Alan live in 4L Studios for segment discussing the previous night’s OTT event with the incredible Ospreay/Smile vs. Ward/Dunne main event, Alan’s GWE list (and his disrespect of The Undertaker), Bob Backlund being awesome, and THE FLORIDA BROTHERS!!!
