The phrase is “now and then,” but this week on the podcast, we’re looking back at the world of wrestling and comparing it to today.

Thirty years ago, the nWo was the hottest thing going in wrestling. Has anything come along since then to make fans excited about the business?

Chad and I discuss that and much more on this week’s episode. Let us know your thoughts.

Don’t forget, the My 1-2-3 Cent Wrestling Figure Drive is BACK!

This past week marked the 35th anniversary of the first Ric Flair-Hulk Hogan match. It happened in the WWF, and many fans still wonder why we didn’t get this at WrestleMania VIII a few months later.

So, being a nerd for nostalgia, that’s what I’m talking about this week. What are your thoughts?

Not unlike last week, we’re once again chatting about a variety of wrestling topics, past and present, which sends us down a wrestling rabbit hole.

From AEW’s WrestleDream to Gunther’s lack of movement to Max Caster’s misstep, we cover a lot this week.

We’re off the rails on this week’s podcast, with no real topic in mind- just thoughts on the current product in WWE and AEW. The bulk of the discussion is on the heels of Money in the Bank 2026, including what’s next for LA Knight, Roman Reigns, Oba Femi, and more.

What are your thoughts? Do you prefer podcasts that cover modern wrestling or more retro conversations?

This week, we are remembering Ben Satterly, the wrestler who wowed us all as PAC and Neville. His sudden death a week ago has left the wrestling world in shock.

Chad Smart and Kevin Hunsperger share memories of PAC and watch a 2012 match that pitted the Englishman against El Generico. Kevin was on the call for that show, which you can watch here.

It’s finally here, episode 619, and a look at the life and times of Rey Mysterio. Admittedly, I tried several times to get the WWE Hall of Famer to appear on this episode, but I failed. However, Chad and I are doing a fun 6-1-9 of Mysterio.

Listen to our six favorite matches, one defining moment, and nine things that make Rey a legend.

It’s Episode 618, so of course I’m looking at wrestling in the 618 (southern Illinois area code). I could have dug deeper for this episode, but it was a hectic week.

I touch on AAPW, Stride, Pro Wrestling Collision, SICW, and others. What’s your favorite promotion in southern Illinois?

Second-, third-, and even fourth-generation stars have been part of wrestling for decades. Yet some fans get worked up about it, throwing around the phrase “nepo baby.” But are fans overreacting to these legacy acts? We discuss it on this week’s podcast.

When it comes to wrestling, I think we, as fans, sometimes complain too much. So this week, I’m talking about the things that still make me pop after almost 45 years of watching.

What makes you pop? Drop a comment.

My journey in journalism includes a four-year stop in Indiana. While the experience was not my favorite, the people I worked with made it unforgettable.

Also, while living in West Lafayette, Indiana, our family grew from two to four, as our two sons were born in Tippecanoe County.

This week I recount some of the time we spent in Greater Lafayette and my years as a reporter and producer at WLFI-TV.

Wrestling in the 80s was a much simpler time. Don’t get me wrong, I love social media, but I think it has helped create a toxic environment for wrestling fans (and everyone, really).

This week on the podcast, Chad Smart and I discuss life before everything went viral or tried to go viral.

Where have all the heels gone? It seems that these days, wrestling lacks a deep pool of bad guys. Now more than ever, we’re getting more main-event matches from both companies, featuring face vs. face. Agree? Disagree? Check out this week’s episode and weigh in either way.

There’s always something to talk about when it comes to professional wrestling. This week, it’s a shorter episode, and I share a few thoughts on:
Chelsea Green’s injury
Roman Reigns being overrated
The My 1-2-3 Cents Wrestling Figure Drive

I love doing Q&A versions of the podcast. This week, the focus is on my time as a TV news reporter, and if I could be on any current reality show, which one would it be? Since I’m answering that one, why don’t you let me know your answer in the comments?

Forget the Summer of Punk, this week it’s all about the Summer of Kevin and a look back at the awesomeness of 2011. The My 1-2-3 Cents brand was in its infancy but was really starting to take off, with interviews featuring D’Lo Brown, Mickie James, Lex Luger, and Nikita Koloff. I was also getting very involved in AAPW and got to manage Velvet Sky for the night. Somehow, I forgot to mention the fact that I met Hacksaw Jim Duggan that summer, too, my bad.

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the nWo. The New World Order, no doubt, changed the face of pro wrestling in the late 90s and shaped the business for decades to follow.

This week on the podcast, Chad and I discuss our initial thoughts on the faction (I actually say it’s more of a story) and how the fantasy book should have ended.

Sami Zayn is the new WWE Champion. It’s a sentence many wrestling fans thought they’d never hear. This week on the podcast, Chad and I discuss the title change and look at some other interesting facts about Sami winning the gold.

Who is one Superstar you think should have been champion, but never was?

ALL HAIL KING MONDO!

The King of the Ring tournament has launched careers, created legends, and given us some unforgettable moments. But in 2026, does the concept still carry the same prestige it once did?

This week on My 1-2-3 Cents, we’re discussing the history of King of the Ring, some of the tournament’s biggest winners and misses, and whether WWE needs to make changes to keep the crown relevant.

Does winning King of the Ring still matter? Or is it time for a royal revamp?
