Episode 507: Prowrestling's BIGGEST Offense
3/27/20262 hr 37 min
On this episode of Something To Wrestle with John Layfield, JBL and Conrad Thompson are serving up a can't miss mix of old school respect, locker room realities, and headline making takes from across the wrestling world.
John kicks things off by paying tribute to Dennis Condrey, calling him one of the true cornerstones of tag team wrestling and a pure tag professional who helped define the art form. From there, JBL reflects on the larger than life aura of Sid Vicious, explaining what made Sid's presence so shocking and so unforgettable every time he stepped through the curtain.
The conversation turns to modern headlines as JBL weighs in on the possibility of Tom Brady showing up at WrestleMania, and why it wouldn't surprise him one bit. Then, John pulls back the curtain on the business side of wrestling, discussing why revealing company secrets is often a fireable offense, and how that culture has shaped the industry for decades.
JBL gives listeners another taste of his brand new comedy podcast, Curtain Jerkers and this one is absolutely unhinged!
Joined by the always entertaining Tony Schiavone, the two dive headfirst into a collection of hilarious, outrageous, and completely unexpected stories centered around the one and only 16 time World Champion, Ric Flair. From behind the scenes moments to stories you've definitely never heard before, nothing is off limits and no one is safe.

[gentle music] Hi, my name is Mira Patassin. I'm an author and I'm an activist, and GoFundMe is my go-to platform for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chapbook, or a collection of poetry and essays and short stories. So we started a GoFundMe, and our goal was 7,000. What I've learned that is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything from, like, four dollars to four hundred dollars. And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just four dollars, it's so exciting. So if you have a goal, and you get there, you can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger. We did go past our goal. It was amazing.
