from Shooting the Shiznit · host Brian Tramel

IN THE STUDIO with BT is the evolution of nine years behind the mic. After nearly a decade of podcasting, BT is now bringing the conversations home — literally — inviting guests into 304 Studios for raw, unfiltered, one-on-one interviews. No pausees. No call-ins. Just real talk, real stories, and real moments recorded face to face. From wrestling legends and local personalities to friends of the show, BT sits down in an intimate studio setting where anything can happen. This isn’t just another interview podcast — it’s personal, it’s direct, and it’s happening In The Studio. BT's second guest is Robb Helt. (recorded on 2.25.26) In The Studio with BT – Episode 2: Robb Helt Live from 304 Studios in Jonesboro, Arkansas, BT welcomes longtime wrestling fan, smart mark extraordinaire, and Retro Wrestling Re-View Continental Podcast co-host Robb Helt for a wide ranging, often hilarious, and surprisingly revealing conversation. In this episode, Robb traces his journey from a six year old kid accidentally discovering wrestling on WTBS... to following the territory system across the country thanks to his dad’s Walmart career... to sitting in the legendary Dallas Sportatorium... to going to Nashville for a very EYE OPENING Saturday night at the Fairgrounds... and eventually working the workers himself in one of the most unbelievable “mark turned agent” stories you’ll ever hear. You’ll hear: 🔥 Robb’s first live wrestling experience and why it terrified him 🔥 Growing up on Mid-South, Crockett, Memphis,World Class, and eventually Global.... 🔥 Behind-the-scenes stories involving Dave Sullivan (The Equalizer) aka Bill Dannenhauer and working the boys 🔥 Being “smartened up” the hard way 🔥 The Classic Memphis era and the Lawler/Dundee feud from a fan’s perspective 🔥 The Dallas Sportatorium atmosphere and Friday night rituals 🔥 Thoughts on kayfabe sheets, the Wrestling Observer, and learning the business 🔥 Why Robb still watches wrestling through 10-year-old eyes 🔥 How he eventually became part of the Retro Wrestling Re-View team This is one of those episodes that perfectly captures what In The Studio with BT is all about, real stories, real fandom, real history, and that blurred line between mark and smark that makes wrestling magic. If you love territory talk, Memphis history, Dallas memories, and honest wrestling conversation, this episode is for you.
