EP. 12- Kayfabe News' Writer Colin Hunter Gets Real; Kevin Nash vs. Brodie Lee and The Sea Men

from Iron-On Wrestling with Gregory Iron

Gregory Iron sits down with the man behind "Kayfabe News," former Pro Wrestling Illustrated writer and all-around hilarious human -- Colin Hunter.   By day, Colin Hunter studies things like black holes in a quantum science research institute. By later-in-the-day, this same guy churns out articles for KayfabeNews.com, a satirical site that is pro wrestling's equivalent to The Onion.   Now entering its eighth year, Colin chats with Greg about his journey into writing pro wrestling satire for Kayfabe News. Colin tells us how he never thought wrestling was real as a kid and how his newspaper journalism gig in Kitchener, Ontario led to an interview at the home of then-TNA Champion Christian Cage. Colin also shares how he got his foot in the door of PWI, how much of the Pro Wrestling Illustrated stories he wrote were phony, which wrestling match makes him cry, the writing process that goes into creating a Kayfabe News article, how many articles he has written since 2012, times readers thought his Kayfabe News articles were real, the difference between good satire and bad, his views on the art form and the magic behind pro wrestling, his Kayfabe News web series, and how stalking and befriending Mick Foley helped in creating Kayfabe News -- plus so much more!   Before the interview, Greg tells Aaron about a "cancelled" wresting event turned "meet & greet" and the opponent he avoided facing from this past weekend. Aaron and Greg discuss the WWE release of Luke Harper, working with Brodie Lee on the indies, and how an angle between Lee and Kevin Nash saw a drunk Big Sexy in Brodie's face accusing him of having something not-so-big-and-sexy hanging from his beard. Finally, Greg unveils a new weekly segment involving The Hulkster.
