Tope Con Coolio - A wrestling podcast for dorks.

This week on episode 73 of Tope Con Coolio, Bryan Hughes has declared that he will finally make his free agency decision. During last weeks "The Decision He Has Decided To Make A Decision Upon Deciding" special, Bryan announced that his decision will be announced to the world this week. We here at TCC sincerely hope he decides to remain on the show, but given the offers he's received and the shrewdness of his new manager, it seems highly unlikely. What will Bryan decide?

Ben and Bryan (for the last time?) will be discussing:

*NXT voting is under way! Who do you think will be eliminated this week? Who SHOULD be eliminated?
*Gathering of the Juggalo's - Who on EARTH thought this was a good idea?
*Indy wrestling's biggest weekend of the summer: ROH, DGUSA, CHIKARA and EVOLVE all running shows for four straight days. Looking at the shows and which look to be can't misses.

Tope Con Coolio - A podcast for dorks.

This week on Tope Con Coolio....well, we're not sure. As of this writing, free agent Bryan Hughes' status with Tope Con Coolio is still up in the air. We're under the impression that he will be announcing The Decision He Has Decided To Make A Decision Upon Deciding at some point, but for all we know he could have signed with another podcast already. Tune in tonight to find out the future of Tope Con Coolio!

Tonight, Ben and Bryan (maybe) will be discussing:

*TNA's Extreme future - 2005 called. 2000 left them a voicemail.
*WWE's Money in the Bank PPV - Who wins, who loses, who goes splat.
*Taking a look at the rumored big money backed startup wrestling company in Florida and who is rumored to have signed, while taking a glimpse at other big startups that showed promise but never truly made it out of the starting gate.
*The Social Network - a movie about Facebook and Hollywood's obsession with making movies out of existing ideas over creating new ones.

Tope Con Coolio is back for another week with the highly regaled and ballyhooed Episode 70~! Why, you undoubtedly are asking yourselves? Well...no, reason really.

Tonight, Ben and Bryan will be discussing:

*NXT Season Two's first elimination - Did the right guy go home? What could Titus O'Neil aka Inspirational Ahmed Johnson have done differently? Who's going home next? If Eli Cottonwood stays, will we riot?

*Bryan explains the World Cup: The Sequel! - Now that Ben understands the rules (sorta), Bryan goes even more in depth into the world's most popular sport and who has the best chance of winning. In addition - vuvuzela jokes!

*The Martha Hart Lawsuit - Dear Martha, nobody likes you. Even Bret thinks you're a bitch. Stop taking Owen away from us. Sincerely, TCC.

Thats right, tonight on TCC we present The Roast of Ben Pasco! Guests from The Programme w/ Matt & Ben, the Dungeon of Doom and Pantsless Radio will join Ben Gordon and Bryan Hughes in honoring/demolishing their soon to be departing bretheren with a time honored tradition of hoisting the honoree onto a chair and hurling insults at him until he cries. It's going to be one heck of a night!

In addition to the roast, Ben, Ben, & Bryan will be discussing:

*WWE NXT down to the final 3 - Who wins the competition? How awesome is Daniel Bryan Danielson and his feud with Michael Cole?
*ROH TV tapings - Necro Butcher joins the Embassy? Roderick Strong joins the House of Truth? Tyler Black....still flying solo
*Johnny Gargano signs a contract - What the heck is really going on?

Tope Con Coolio - A wrestling podcast for dorks.

Episode 63 of Tope Con Coolio tonight is going to be a mixture of several different ideas with one constant theme: new and fresh. Ben Gordon is flying solo for the first hour of TCC tonight, and two unknowns will be filling in the cohost chairs. We have no guarantees as to whether these two rookie radio cohosts will sink or swim, but tonight they will be given an opportunity to show what they can do. Will it be funny? Only one way to find out...

In hour 2, Tope Con Coolio brings back the "Hi, I'm a Wrestler" segment to shine a light on an up and coming talent by the name of "Every Ladies Dream" Mark Kreiger. Longtime TCC fans may remember Mark's appearance on the show early last year. Mark has come a long way since then and will come on the show to talk about what he's been doing in wrestling as of late and where he hopes to take his career in the months and years to come.

Tonights topics will include:

*TNA moves back to Thursday nights, ending the "Monday Night Wars 2.0 - The Gulf War Reenactment Edition"
*Raw Guest Hosts - What, if anything, can be done to save it from becoming just another weekly dose of schlock comedy?
*Weekend Indy Wrestling Preview: ROH's Supercard of Honor V, DGUSA in Canada, PWG's DDT4, and more!
*A new edition of "Three Minutes with Marcus" featuring Marcus "King Kong" Dowling!

The focus of episode 62 of Tope Con Coolio will be square on Ben G and Bryan recapping their time at King of Trios this past weekend! Ben attended night one and the fan conclave the next day, Bryan attended all 3 nights and Ben Pasco attended whatever show was playing in his mind. I think Meng vs. Sting was on it. We'll be talking about what we watched and we'd love to get your thoughts on King of Trios if you were there as well!

Ben, Ben, & Bryan will also be discussing:

*WWE Draft - aka "Hey Smackdown....look over there." "OK but I dont see anyth-" "Yoink!" "Hey, where'd the top guys go?"
*The latest on WWE NXT - aka "Uhh...."
*EVOLVE reeks of desperation - ticket giveaways, sales, deals, "MMA exhibition and Extreme Hotties?" What's their next hook?
*ROH's NYC return almost sold out - are they back to where they were pre-Gabe or is it just a spike of awesomeness?

Why: Because we'll be trying hard not to gloat about our glorious Chikaraoke performance...and likely failing miserably.

Episode 61 of Tope Con Coolio will begin tonight at a later start time of 8pm, and it's looking like one of our biggest episodes in quite some time. We kick things off with a bang by welcoming CHIKARA Pro's favoritest ring announcer (way ahead of that Jacob "The Hammer" Valentine guy) GAVIN LOUDSPEAKER! Gavin will be on hand at the start of the show to discuss CHIKARA's big King of Trios tournament this weekend (http://www.chikarapro.com for more details), writing songs, the BDK and lots of your questions which you can submit to topeconcoolio@gmail.com!

After we let Gavin off of the hook, we will be joined by last weeks special guest and this weeks guest third mic Marcus "King Kong" Dowling! Marcus will be sitting in for "Hollywood" Ben Pasco, who is using the time to shop around Tassles and Hassles to several major film festivals, including the ongoing Tribeca Film Festival! (can he even do that?)

Ben, Bryan and Marcus will also be discussing:

*Raw is Smackdown - Raw's "Act of God" episode and other ways Raw could have worked around the European Volcano. Step 1 - Giant Volcano Plug.
*Is TNA on the rebound after hitting the reset button on Monday's Impact? We give them +1 for not having Orlando Jordan be crazy.
*Previewing upcoming shows from ROH, EVOLVE, DGUSA and more!

It's been a while since we've had Marcus on, and the greatest manager in indy wrestling (as I was paid to write) has a lot on his mind to discuss with us. We'll take your calls as well, and Marcus will verbally berate you for as long as you wish. It should definitely be an interesting night on TCC!

Ben, Ben, Bryan and Marcus will be discussing:

*WWE NXT - AKA the male version of the DivaSearch.
*TNA Lockdown - At least the crap is locked inside of a cage. And why would you have a ladder match for a key?
*CHIKARA King of Trios - Previewing and predicting the largest tournament on the indies this year.

*WWE NXT - Constantly changing concepts certainly create crazy constituents. In other words, we talk about aspiring wrestlers carrying beer kegs.
*TNA - Orlando Jordan squirts. Thats.....thats pretty much it.
*CHIKARA King of Trios - The tournament lineup is nearly complete. Does it have the heavy artillery to be as big as it has been previously?

None-the-less, we're ready to bring you two hours you'll soon forget.

Ben, & Bryan will be discussing:

* Something about some PPV this weekend. I dunno, we probably won't talk much about this.
* Seems like a bunch of indies think this weekend is special too and are running shows. Find out why and who has the edge.
* TNA? It's still around? I guess so.
* Wrestlicious: How we can make it a verb. An action verb, not a helping verb.

The trend of the co-hosts refusing to all be on the show at the same time continues as this evening Ben Pasco has informed management that he has lost his smile, literally and now figuratively so he's taken a day trip to a plastic surgeon to fix that problem, but Bryan Hughes has manned up and will be hosting the show along with everyone's favorite alternate, John "Tauron Nox" Clemens, and everyone outside of Atlanta's favorite person named Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan. It's a big week as joining us on the show will ISW star Sexxxy Eddy on the program and with the big announcement of Slamtasia 3 coming to America in April, it seems like the most appropriate of times.

Bryan, Matt and John will also be discussing...

EVOLVE: Lets see if we can do this without Pokemon Jokes
TNA: If everyone crossed the line would you run and do it too

Tope Con Coolio - A wrestling podcast for dorks.

One week after having our minds blown by the great Mickey Grant, Tope Con Coolio swings the pendulum in the other direction. For tonight, Stephanie is in complete control of TCC.

How did this happen? Several weeks ago on Tope Con Coolio, Stephanie won a bet based on a Young Lions Cup pickem. The terms of the bet stated that the winner would get to take control of the loser's Facebook profile picture for a month. Rather than be humiliated for an entire month, Ben G, one of the losers, opted instead to give Stephanie control of Tope Con Coolio for one show. Tonight is that show, and Steph has wasted little time in making sure that this will be one of the most talked about episodes in quite some time. In addition to the regular cast of characters, Steph has invited TCC regular, ISW's main man and Messiah of the Pussaliah Mike Rotch and former ISW champion and former CHIKARA Campeon de Parejas, Player Uno to join the program for the evening. What will they be discussing? The only person who knows for sure is Stephanie. May god help us all.

Tonight's topics, as chosen by Steph, are:

*Hardy vs Punk... and the crying children.
*How I called Dolph Ziggler a jerk on national television
*How did Ben P and I get so lucky to see Team Uppercut vs Quacksaw in Nashua, NH?
*

Tonight on Episode 31 of Tope Con Coolio, possibly our most influential guest of all time. Mickey Grant isn't a household name to most wrestling fans, but without him, televised wrestling wouldn't be what it is today. Grant was one of the driving and forces behind the scenes of World Class Championship Wrestling, and tonight we will be talking with him about his new film "Gentleman's Choice: The Chris Adams Story." This gritty documentary looks back at one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time and how drugs and alcohol made this man a real life Jekyll and Hyde. It features interviews from those that knew him best, including such names as Gary Hart, Kevin Von Erich and Killer Tim Brooks. You can learn more about the film, Mickey Grant himself and check out a six minute preview of the film by going to http://www.gentlemanschoice.tv

Episode 30 of Tope Con Coolio has arrived, and if you ever believed that weeks and weeks of on air pestering didn't work, then we've totally just blown your minds. After weeks of Ben Pasco begging for former ROH booker and current Dragon Gate USA VP Gabe Sapolsky, a long time listener (or so says our Facebook group) to call in, we've finally confirmed an exclusive segment with the man himself! Gabe will be calling in around the 8pm hour, and we've got a nice blend of our own questions and questions you've submitted (which you can still do by email to topeconcoolio@gmail.com) to make for a really fun conversation with Gabe. Tell your friends and your friend's friends to listen to this one!

Ben, Ben, Bryan & Steph will also be discussing:

*WWE to raid ROH's talent roster? Whats up with that?
*Summerslam this weekend - Really?

Tope Con Coolio returns from our week off with Episode 29, debuting tonight! Bryan's off this week, opting to continue on the Search for Shawn Michaels that Triple H instituted last week. Sadly, Bryan has yet to see this week's episode of Raw, and we dont really have the heart to tell him that HBK's been found alive and hilarious. Ben G and Steph attended ISW's "The Worst That Could Happen" in CT this past weekend, and they'll be recounting some of the memories of the show, and anyone that attended the show is welcomed to give us a call and talk about what they witnessed. Ben P also attended a show this weekend that he wants to tell us about. We havent heard much about it, but given some of the shows Ben has attended in the past, it should be a doozy!

Ben, Ben, & Steph will also be discussing:

*Discussing Jeremy Piven and Sarge Slaughter's runs as Raw Guest Host - Where do they rank on the Shaq scale of awesomeness?
*TNA is awesome again - Many internet fans don't know what to believe anymore.
*ROH rumored to be in financial trouble. Gabe Sapolsky chuckles to himself in amusement.

Tope Con Coolio - A wrestling podcast for dorks.

Episode 28 of Tope Con Coolio emerges this Thursday, and we've felt that we havent ripped off enough formats. Telethons, game shows, sex hotlines, these are all childs play. We're tackling a new, untapped genre - cancelled VH1 panel shows! In this instance, we're taking on a former debate show and making it our own when we debut The Tope List! The format goes as follows: Stephanie, acting as host, will lead a panel of Ben G, Ben P, Bryan and a special guest contributor in a wrestling based topic where each panelist must choose their top three points in said category. The points are then argued and discussed until finally, the overall top three is chosen. The first edition of The Tope List will feature a discussion of the Best Wrestling Entrances Ever!

Ben, Ben, Bryan & Steph will also be discussing:

*Shaq hosts Raw - No Kazaam jokes = No Buys!
*CM Punk loses belt to Jeff Hardy - Do we riot?
*DGUSA debuts - Thoughts and live reviews (from people other than us!)

TCC's own Stephanie Swist will be a contestant on Deal or No Deal, which tapes next week, and to prepare her for the experience, we will present our own version of the game show. 26 gimmick lay in 26 briefcases, ranging from Barry Horowitz all the way up to Ric Flair and Steph will have to rely on luck and probability in order to select the best possible gimmick for her. However, the booker wishes to keep Steph down the card for political reasons, so he will try and make sure Steph leaves with the lowest gimmick possible. What gimmick will Steph win? Tune into Gimmick or No Gimmick on Episode 27 on Tope Con Coolio TONIGHT!

Tope Con Coolio reaches a milestone this week with our 25th episode! Stephanie is out again for a couple more weeks following a horrific boating accident.

Taking her place as guest host for this week will be Inter Species Wrestling head honcho Mike Rotch! Rotch has been interviewed on the program before, but tonight he will join us for the full two hour broadcast. This should make for one entertaining show.

Joining us this week will be Maryland area wrestling manager Marcus "King Kong" Dowling (he of the "Dressed like OJ Simpson during a run in" fame) and if you're familiar with Marcus' previous appearance during Episode 15 (streaming now at Topeconcoolio.com) then you know that Marcus will pull no punches and tell it like it is, along with some fantastic stories about Meng and Tatanka as well!

The aftermath of Tope Con Coolio's Win A Date With Stephanie contest is already being felt, as Stephanie has refused to appear on Episode 23 at the very last minute! We're scrambling to find a replacement, but we might have to go this one with a tripod of hosts. Steph's reasoning for bailing on us last minute is "You ditched Claudio and made me pick Matt Ryan. He wants to take me to dinner at Hulk Hogan's Pastamania and then a private screening of the Great American Bash 1992. You guys are douchebags."

But all is still well in TCC land! Ben, Ben and Bryan will hold down the fort and bring you the delicious wrestling discussion you crave! Tonight, our topics will include:

*The Trump Era of Raw is over - Fantasy Booking week 2!
*Samoa Joe joins Main Event Mafia - Just when you thought they were getting good...

Tope Con Coolio's Win A Date With Stephanie contest was a smashing success! Well, depending on who you talk to. If you ask Steph, who wound up choosing the incorrigible Matt Ryan as her date, then she'd say that it wasn't so successful. Congratulations to Matt on winning, and in the meantime, we would like to thank Mike from NJ and Dave from the Bronx, the other two Villanos (which is Spanish for bachelor, obviously) who weren't able to win Steph's affection, as well as everyone who entered, including those who's rejected entries we played on the show. Special shoutout to those guys: Matt Foster, Steve from Plainview, The Rider, Claudio Castagnoli and Deontre the Deep Voiced Announcer! Better luck next time, guys.

We had an hour of wrestling talk in addition to the Win A Date With Stephanie shenanigans! Amongst the topics the TCC crew discussed were:

* The best 10 minute conversation on H2 Wrestling EVER featuring Rob Naylor!
* Cartoon characters being in charge of Raw, including Ben G's awful impressions.
* Justin Credible's Icons of Wrestling convention featuring Giant Silva and Rick Fuller

Episode 15 is in the books! We faced some last minute issues with our scheduled guest, Marcus Dowling, who will instead join us next week. We were joined at the last minute by Ben G's cohost on BrooklynBridgeMedia.com's "The Programme" Matt Ryan, where we discussed certain pet peeves of ours carried by pro wrestling fans. Ben P especially enjoyed this topic, as it gave him a chance to go off on the stereotype "Girls who only like wrestling for the hot guys." His scathing rant is the stuff of legends.

In addition to this discussion and the usual wrestling topics, the Tope Con Coolio crew also discussed:

*Rebooking 90s Survivor Series matches (including the entire All Americans vs. Foreign Fanatics storyline from 1993) with current independent wrestlers
*Geographically named bands
*Joey Ryan Sleaze Facts

Episode 13 was extremely fun, and we want to thank Inter Species Wrestling promoter Mike Rotch for calling in and saving the program after our flaming trainwreck of a mock draft (although if you like hearing random names from the past like Coach Buzz Stern and Antifaz Del Norte, this bit is right up your alley!). Along with Rotchy, we discussed ISW, Giant Tiger's signature and finishing moves, the tag team of Bruise and Fckface, the concept of sodomy as a finishing move, and so much more! Check out more on Mike Rotch and ISW at www.interspecieswrestling.com, www.smartmarkvideo.com and www.fortunevideoediting.com

Episode 9 is mercifully over, and the TCC would like to apologize for the technical difficulties that we had during the second half of the program. Aside from the everlasting echo that proved to be distracting for some hosts *cough* TCC still brought a very entertaining show, and much of that was thanks to our special guests for the evening in X-Cast hosts Tim and Frank! You can listen to their entertaining and frequently updated X-Box themed podcast over at http://www.xcastonline.com! We talked about our favorite wrestling video games, from Wrestlemania and Tecmo Pro for the NES all the way to an exclusive review of the upcoming Legends of Wrestlemania game.

You can catch that interview a little after the 30 minute mark, right after the world premiere of Rhett Titus' new theme music, which was donated to TCC from Wayne and Mary. Thanks guys!

Tope Con Coolio - A Wrestling Podc

It was about one week ago when the Tope Con Coolio crew came up with the concept for tonight's very special podcast. Ben and Ben were sitting around, probably watching something involving Ludvig Borga and eating cupcakes, when all of a sudden Ben G came across something on the Ring of Honor message board. It was a thread, but not just any old regular thread. It was an OFFICIAL thread, which of course means it's incredibly important. It read:

http://www.rohwrestling.com/MessageBoard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=46211 - Official "Raise Money for "Final Countdown" Thread

While Ben P continued to suck the cream filling out of his delicious cupcake, Ben G read on and on and on about the many fans willing to donate to the cause of raising money to bring The Final Countdown back to Ring of Honor in order to be used as the theme music for "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. As Ben G was discussing this out loud to the rest of the crew, Ben P, in a no doubt creme filled sugar fueled stroke of genius, blurted out the five words that would no doubt shake and rattle us to our core:

"WE SHOULD HAVE A TELETHON!"

And little by little, the event that will be taking place tonight took shape in the very sane and bright minds of Ben & Ben. There would be an elaborate stage set up! Singing! Dancing! Comedy! Celebrities! Everything that makes a telethon special! And even though this is all being done through a non-visual medium, we at Tope Con Coolio would like to think that you've given us enough of your trust to know that if we say something is happening, then by f*ck it, it is most definitely happening.

But this is not all about the entertainment, folks. This is about a serious cause worthy of your time and money. So please, open your hearts and open your wallets as Tope Con Coolio brings you the most important telethon that will take place in your lives - DRAGON AID 2009!

Some of tonight's features will include:

*The comedy stylings of Bryan of the Flying Knee Show
*A

Tope Con Coolio's latest (space shuttle) endeavor is in the books, and we want to send a huge thank you to our guests, Stephanie the Swiss Flag Girl, Bryan of [url=http://www.flyingkneeshow.com]the Flying Knee Show[/url] and the master of the Eiffel Tower, "Every Ladies Dream" Marc Kreiger of [url=http://www.nwaupstate.net/]NWA Upstate[/url]. In addition to the advertised topics, we also discussed:

[b][i]* A fire themed team to combat The Cold Front during Chikara's King of Trios tournament (Hint: One member of the team hails from WCW Special Forces)
*The potential for ROH on HDNet to be called like a monster truck rally.
*Why Grizzly Redwood has the potential to make any event funny.
*The differences between a wrestling crowd in upstate NY and a smark crowd.
*Breakfast sandwiches involving waffles.[/b][/i]

All this and oh so much more! If you would like to listen to the sexiest episode of Tope Con Coolio to date, the latest episode is already available to stream and/or download at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/topconcoolio. Also, as announced at the end of this episode, next week Tope Con Coolio invites you to a very special event. Ben and Ben along with the extended TCC family will be using our influence amongst the internet wrestling community to raise money and awareness for a worthwhile cause - so Ring of Honor will be able to afford the rights to Bryan Danielson's theme song, "The Final Countdown!" So please, open up your hearts and your wallets and get prepared for entertainment as Tope Con Coolio presents our first telethon - [b]Dragon Aid 2009![/b]

So join us next Tuesday at 7pm for a very special and important episode of Tope Con Coolio, complete with new topics, a new third mic, and hopefully, a new way to distract you from everyday life.

Due to extenuating circumstances, tonight's live broadcast of Tope Con Coolio will not be happening. Basically, Ben G's sick with the flu and Ben P's got some sort of homework issue. But we're not going to leave the great listeners of Tope Con Coolio high and dry with nothing to listen to. There's going to be 90 minutes of audio, just as promised.

From 2003-2006, Tope Con Coolio host Ben Gordon was part of an extremely popular college radio show called The Big Wrestling Show, broadcast out of the student run radio station of Oswego State University. For those who weren't around for this era of college radio greatness or for those that wish to relive it, Tope Con Coolio presents The Best of The Big Wrestling Show. This panel of OSU students and pro wrestling enthusiasts had the opportunity on several occasions to interview some of the stars of independent wrestling, and you will hear some of them tonight, including:

*Colt Cabana (from February 2005)
*Gabe Sapolsky (from May 2005)
*Steve Corino (from late 2005)

So join Tope Con Coolio as we take a trip down memory lane and revisit the ol' gang including Ben, "JR" John Russell, "Mushi Mushi" Matt Foster, F-Tom McComb and "No Sell" Tim Sampsell. We WILL return live next week with our very special guest third mic, NWA Upstate wrestler Mark Kreiger.

Tope Con Coolio - A wrestling podcast for dorks.

The first edition of Tope Con Coolio is in the books, and surprise third mic Wiggy joined hosts Ben Gordon & Ben Pasco and...well, for the most part ran roughshod on the TCC crew. She's a very intimidating Canadian.

In addition to the advertised topics, we also discussed

Our most favorite Samoan/Pacific Islander wrestlers
Our picks for cuddliest Samoan/Pacific Islander wrestlers
Why Canada stinks
Why America stinks
A very special Point/Counterpoint
and so much more!

We would like to remind everybody that Tope Con Coolio is an ever changing cornucopia of opinions, and our third mic will be a rotating chair.
