Alliance Blog Podcast: Interviews with Independent Wrestlers and Wrestling Personalities

This week, Jay Cal welcomes Carson Drake, the No. 1 contender for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, controversial, and completely unpredictable.Carson doesn't hold back as he talks about:Why he believes no one in the NWA is on his levelHis championship mindset heading into the biggest match of his careerThe Federation of Champions, Aaron Stevens, and the future of the NWAWhy money—not legacy—is his biggest motivationHis thoughts on wrestling legends, today's stars, and why he says he'd beat them allCalifornia living, In-N-Out Burger, Rolex watches, and plenty of unforgettable one-liners

This week on the Alliance Blog Podcast, I sat down with veteran professional wrestler Biggie Biggs to discuss his remarkable 30-year career, the return of Dangerous Adrenaline Wrestling Gladiators (DAWG) to the Monmouth County Fair, and the art of connecting with an audience.Biggie shared what makes the fair shows so unique, explaining how wrestling, racing pigs, and pirate performances create a nonstop family-friendly experience that drew more than 110,000 attendees last year, with some wrestling events attracting crowds of nearly 5,000 fans.But the conversation went far beyond promoting an event.Stay Social https://www.facebook.com/podszillah http://myspace.com/biggiebiggs2k https://www.youtube.com/user/podszillahhttps://www.instagram.com/mr.podsweirdo/

Sale Taylor is an entertainer first. Regardless of whether it is in the ring, in the studio, or on the stage, Taylor can wrestle, sing, or act in any situation. The multifaceted entertainer is a former NWA Duke City Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. Sale discusses with Jay Cal the importance of fans getting a return on their investment, leaving Duke City Championship Wrestling "well fed." He also discusses his family, his relationship with the Polynesian Prince, Joe Taylor, and his upbringing with Uce Tonga Kid. And he shares anecdotes about doing some business with his family.You can follow Sale Taylorhttps://www.instagram.com/4sale247https://www.tiktok.com/@4sale247https://www.youtube.com/@4Sale247https://x.com/4Sale247

Fred Slow is an Albuquerque-based sports broadcaster and professional wrestling promoter who founded Duke City Championship Wrestling (DCCW) in 2023. He later led the promotion into the National Wrestling Alliance as NWA New Mexico, making it one of the NWA's officially recognized regional territories.  Before his work with DDCW, he had been an on-air radio personality in both New Mexico and his home state of Missouri. He launched DCCW to build up the local independent wrestling scene in Albuquerque to emphasize the local talent and produce live events that would cater to the community. Fred speaks to Jay about joining the National Wrestling Alliance and what he envissions for the NWA going forward.

Not too many talents under the NWA umbrella can say they have been with the company since day 1. Big Strong Mims was on the very first set of NWA POWER Tapings and was actually working various duties for the NWA all the way back to the 70th Anniversary Show.In eight years with the National Wrestling Alliance, Mims is a former NWA National Heavyweight Champion and NWA Television Champion. Back in the 2021 era of the NWA, Mims sought out The Pope as a mentor. The two competed at the 2022 Crockett Cup. Shortly after that, Crockett Cup, the two went their separate ways, with the Pope leaving the company.In the past few months, the two have come to an understanding and appear to be on the same page. Jay Cal discusses this new alliance with Mims, the art of tag-team wrestling, overcoming imposter syndrome, and what's next for Big Strong Mims.Follow Mims on Social Mediahttps://www.facebook.com/matthew.mims.545⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/really_mims⁠https://x.com/really_mimshttps://angrylemonade.net/collections/mims

Paul Pratt wears many hats. A producer, a writer, a ringside commentator, a manager, and, to be fair, probably about a dozen or more contributions to the world of wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. Before he ever wrote an article or produced a talent, he was a fan.Paul is very candid about the National Wrestling Alliance and discusses his point of view both as an employee of the NWA and as a fan. Paul has made several appearances on our weekly pre-party live stream.The National Wrestling Alliance airs its weekly program POWERRR, on Saturdays at 4 PM Eastern and Pacific, with a midnight replay.

It's Gut-Check Time isn't just a catchphrase; it is the killer mentality that Mike Mondo brings to every aspect of life. Pro Wrestling, Body Building, you name it. Mike Mondo puts the same intensity into the ring as he does into his physical training and preparation for the ring.During the course of his conversation with Jay Cal, Mike Mondo talks about what brought him to the National Wrestling Alliance, partnering with Slade, and what's next in store for the Wrestling Machines and the Federation of Champions.Stay Social with Mondo https://www.facebook.com/MikeBrendli https://x.com/TheMikeMondo https://www.instagram.com/themikemondo

The Southern Six is in shambles. Even before Kerry Morton turned his back on Silas Mason during his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match, signs were starting to show during the Crockett Cup. Although Morton and Taylor won the 2024 Crockett Cup, they were unable to advance to the semi-finals of the 2026 Tournament. Taylor became a regular for the National Wrestling Alliance in 2021, where he instantly became a player for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. After a stint in the tag team, The Ill Begotten, Taylor would find brotherhood in the Land Down Under, becoming the cornerstone of the Southern Six. 2024 would be one of the most successful years for Taylor in the NWA, winning the Crockett Cup Tournament with Kerry Morton and later winning the World Junior Heavyweight Championship by defeating Joe Alonzo. Taylor would obtain more gold again with partner Morton when they won the NWA US Tag Team Championships from the Country Gentlemen.In this interview, Jay Cal and Alex Taylor discuss wrestling in the Volunteer State, Taylor's start in the Black and Brave Academy, the greatness that is Jeremiah Plunkett, and their kinship with Danny Dealz.

The Southern California Independent Wrestling Scene has produced many outstanding talents in the past twenty-five years. And it would be entirely too hard to imagine the Southern California Independent Scene without thinking about the contributions of Lil Cholo. Not only was he a standout for Martin Marin's WPW, but he was also a big part of Revolution Pro, Ultimate Pro Wrestling, Alternative Wrestling Show, and the National Wrestling Alliance. He would also wrestle in Mexico in Tijuana for Lucha Libre AAA and Mexico City for Toryumon.Outside of his contributions to the Southern California Wrestling Scene, Lil Cholo was part of Wrestling Society X's tag team division. Teaming with fellow Southern California standout B-Boy as the Cartel, joined a stacked tag team division that made WSX unique.

The World Famous CB, aka Cheeseburger, built his brand through the Northeast while working for Beyond Wrestling, but really started to gain notoriety when he joined the Ring of Honor.

Alex Misery is unhinged. A man of many hats, most of whom are insane. He's a vocalist for the band Twisted Misery. He shreds on the skateboard. But where most of our listeners will know Misery is from his time in the ring. High Risk is a statement that has little to no meaning for Misery. Misery joined the National Wrestling Alliance at the first Samhain back in 2023. Before his time with the NWA, Misery was a mainstay in the Florida Independent Scene, gaining a bit of notoriety working for Coastal Championship restling and FTW Wrestling.A not-so-well-kept secret is that Misery is also a second-generation wrestler; he's the son of "El Leon" Apolo. Apolo is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (as part of the TNA era of the NWA) and the North American Champion. His father was a well-established superstar in Puerto Rico before becoming a mainstay in the United States. Similarly, Alex spent time working in Puerto Rico; however, his time was spent at World Wrestling Council, the rival to IWA Puerto Rico. We will talk to Alex Misery tonight. We will speak to him about his time in Puerto Rico, getting established in Florida in the independents, wrestling from under his father's shadow, and becoming a fixture of the NWA. Please join us for this very unique interview.

The first five years of Royce Isaacs’ professional wrestling career saw him excel at high levels throughout the world of Independents. Breaking out in his home state of Colorado working for Lucha Libre Laughs and later Rocky Mountain Pro, Isaacs excelled as a tag team wrestler and as a singles. He'd become LLL Heavyweight Champion in 2015. Royce would spend the Fall of 2016 working for DDT in Japan. He would return in the Spring and Summer of 2017. Around this time Isaccs would make his debut for Championship Wrestling and instantly become one of their top stars. He would also be featured on Ring Warriors which briefly aired on WGN. He win top honors in the United Wrestling Network by winning both the TV Championship and the Heritage Champion (the top prizes of that era) before moving on to his next adventure. The NWA and the Crockett Cup. Although he and Thom Latimer did not win the Cup, they would become NWA World Tag Team Champions before ultimately, Royce left the company. Although Royce teamed with Jorel Nelson outside of the United Wrestling Network and the NWA, it was as the 1Percent that Royce and Nelson really took off. They were wrestling for AEW Dark & Elevation, was the West Coast Wrecking Crew in New Japan Strong. This would open doors for Royce. HE would join Tom Lawlor's Team Filthy, begin to compete at Josh Barnett's Blood Sport. His tag team prowress with Nelson allowed his team to flourish all over the country. Royce has now competed in Mexico, Japan, Canada, and all over the United States. On this episode of The Alliance Blog Podcast, we’re going to discuss the transition that Royce made from working the NWA and UWN to becoming a major part of NJPW Strong. We will also celebrate the ten years of Isaac’s career. We will also take a look at his upcoming events including NJPW Strong: Resurgence and Jamie Iovine's Ante Up 2, presented by Epic Pro Wrestling. https://dice.fm/event/6gw9q-jamie-iov...

Forever vocal about the Southern California Wrestling community and a proponent of “good” wrestling, Andrew would lend help to many of the promotions in Southern California and began to write for SoCalUncensored.com. Like many before him, Andrew was unsatisfied with what was presented in SoCal and opted to make his own way, choosing talent that he felt best represented his vision of SoCal. Epic Pro Wrestling is the vision that Andrew saw all those years ago. Since August of 2022, Andrew and his team have produced eight different events. Featuring many talents in Southern California with very diverse matches that have paid homage to the the past and present of this wrestling scene. Andrew next big event will take place on June 2nd, 2024 at the Don Quixote For Jamie Iovine's Ante Up 2, presented by Epic Pro Wrestling and featuring Kevin Blackwood, Royce Isaacs, Jordan Cruz, Richard Holliday, Rey Horus, and many more. https://dice.fm/event/6gw9q-jamie-iov...
