The Wrestling Caucus - Interviewers! Are Now

Interviewers! Are Now

07/31/21 • 23 min

This week on The Wrestling Caucus, myself (Peter A) and smileyarriaga talk interviewers in wrestling. What about them you say? Well, smiley was annoyed seeing how interviewers were portrayed on TV. He has a point because in WWE, interviewers can come across as robotic tools with no credibility or personality. In AEW, some of their more credible interviewers are not taken seriously by the wrestlers because they are either shoved aside, super kicked, and they usually have their mics taken away from them. I personally think pro-wrestling is moving away from establishing new credible interviewers. Alicia Atout from MLW seems to be the exception but hopefully she will become the rule.

05/03/20 • 99 min

Episode 4 of The Wrestling Caucus is all about the beautiful garbage that is hardcore wrestling. This form of pro-wrestling is typically more violent than a traditional match featuring various weapons and dangerous stunts that usually involve fire and glass. Peter A and Smiley talk to their long time friend and deathmatch expert, Elton to discuss the origin of this extreme style and its important figures. They also mention the major influence that early deathmatch wrestling promotions such as FMW had on ECW, CZW, GCW and the Attitude Era of WWF (now WWE).

On Episode 14 of The Wrestling Caucus, Peter A & Smiley Arriaga explain why main-event level wrestlers should NOT reply to Twitter trolls (especially those with a very low follower count). They also recap the rather dull WWE Payback PPV with an admirable attempt to make Keith Lee. Meanwhile, over in Jacksonsville, AEW's annual All Out PPV fell flat on ambience and Peter A and Smiley speak on possibilities to why the show came across dead on TV. They also examine the depth of the Orange Cassidy character and the star making moment that was the Mimosa Mayhem match with Chris Jericho.

10/16/21 • 59 min

Returning from our apathetic nap, The Wrestling Caucus is back to discuss whether or not to talk WWE on this show unless theres a Dwayne Johnson level angle that takes place. Why? World Wrestling Entertainment is void of any wrestling logic and has not been very entertaining as of late. Dolls, zombies, a minority of compelling characters and a complete lack of cohesive storytelling have made it impossible to watch this promotion from a week to week basis. We also give our thoughts from attending both AEW Dynamite shows in the tri-state area at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ and at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY.
