Marcus Alexander Bagwell is an American Professional Wrestler best known by his ring persona Buff Bagwell. He was a major player in pro wrestling and rose to prominence as a member of the NWO faction.
Growing up, Bagwell was a standout baseball player during his tenure in Sprayberry High School, and worked for his family's lumber company. Upon graduating from high school, he started an amateur boxing career. When the lumber company went bankrupt, Bagwell became a certified massage therapist before deciding to become a wrestler.
He debuted in 1990, working for North Georgia Wrestling as Fabulous Fabian. In 1991, he began wrestling with the Global Wrestling Federation (GWF) as The Handsome Stranger, a gimmick suggested by Demolition Axe that saw Bagwell don a Lone Ranger-style mask, and hand out roses to the female fans.
In 1991, Bagwell was hired by World Championship Wrestling and the rest is history. He had moderate success as a babyface tag team wrestler, but really became a household name when he joined the NWO as Buff Bagwell.
In 2001, WCW was purchased by the WWE. Buff Bagwell was involved in the inaugural WCW "invasion" match. A match that is widely considered a failure. He was released and never returned to the WWE.
He worked several independent dates thereafter, but also struggled with addiction. His demons continued to haunt him through several stints in rehab. His life took a major turn when he was involved in a significant car crash. He has since turned his life around and is 21 months sober.
Hear his story. Hear how he became a wrestler, the lifestyle and rigors of that life, a hilarious story with Sting, his struggles with addiction and the role of God in his life and recovery!

Johnny George grew up in Del Paso Heights in Sacramento, California. Del Paso Heights is considered one of the roughest areas in the Sacramento area. He grew up with a step father who took him in as if he was his own. He was not considered a step father, he was just dad.
Unfortunately, addiction caught hold of Johnny's dad, and that addiction manifested in violent and unhealthy ways. At the age of 12, Johnny witnessed his father take his own life. This event would change the course of Johnny's life.
After this event, Johnny would have difficulties of his own. In later years Johnny would reflect and realize that a lot of his own difficulties stemmed from not being able to process that event. He would struggle through school, but eventually would begin to forge a life of his own.
As he grew, he took on a family of his own. He did not have any biological children of his own, but assumed a fatherly role over the daughters of a significant other. He would assume this role while these kids were young, but he would continue his relationship with them as they grew to be adults. Again, he was not a step father, as he learned from his father, he was just dad.
Unfortunately, one of his daughters would leave the home one night, and never return. In the days to come, he would learn that his daughter was murdered and left in her burning car near the river. The murderers have never been caught, and the case is still pending.
Hear the harrowing story. Hear the effects of violence and tragedy and how it can shape a life. This is the true story of Johnny George.
Johnny has started a Spotfund to assist with reward money. He hopes that these funds will help bring her murderers to justice. Click the link to donate and show support.

Bryan Rodda is a husband, father of 3 children, consultant and stand up comedian based in Carmel, Indiana. He is the 4th of 6 children and has lived all over the country.
Bryan grew up in Sacramento California where he became close friends with host Josh Edlow and their mutual friend Chris Johnson. The three grew up together until 1996 when Bryan's family moved to Indiana. Bryan kept in close contact with Josh and Chris throughout the years, but their lives took interesting turns.
Moving to Indiana was difficult for Bryan. First, he was struggling with the diagnosis of ADHD, a relatively new diagnosis in the 90s. People in his new orbit were not used to dealing with his high energy, which led to some serious struggles. Nevertheless, he continued to persevere and eventually moved to Arizona with his brother right after graduation.
Hear the rest of the story. Hear stories from the past about Bryan and Josh's escapades. Hear about the struggles of growing up with ADHD (and how that translates into parenting his daughter who deals with the same diagnosis). Hear about Bryan's faith journey and his new found passion for stand up comedy.

Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Brian "Blue Meanie" Heffron is an American Professional Wrestler. He is best known for his time with Extreme Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation. His ring name is a reference to the Blue Meanies, the antagonists from the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine.
Heffron grew up in the New Jersey, Philadelphia and Atlantic City area. Growing up he had a host of health issue due to asthma, which led to several hospitalizations throughout his young life. This led to his missing school and an inability to participate in several sports. These issues, accompanied by his being overweight, led to bullying throughout his school career.
Heffron grew up with a single mother, but was also raised by his grandparents. They were all incredibly supportive of all his dreams, including his desire to become a professional wrestler. After high school, Heffron saved up enough money to move to Ohio and join Al Snow's Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym. Snow took him under his wing and slowly but surely, Heffron got several bookings.
One day, a wrestler named Raven noticed Heffron and asked him to become a sidekick in the infamous ECW Wrestling promotion, and the rest is history.
Hear the rest of the story. Hear how he conquered his physical ailments to become one of the most unique professional wrestling stories in the business. Learn about ECW, his stints in the WWE and his infamous run-in with JBL.
