For many wrestling fans, when something doesn’t meet our expectations, we instantly pan the event as ‘the worst ever,’ but really, that’s not fair. Chad and I talk through our expectations and the realities that were attached to WrestleMania 41.

My daughter just graduated from high school, so I thought about when I graduated (1991) and where the wrestling world was. This week, I compared and contrasted some of the superstars and then compared them to the stars of today.

Masked wrestlers are typically a mystery. There are a handful of wrestlers through the years who donned a mask, but we, as fans, knew exactly who it was. So, special guest Lucha Dad is sharing his six favorites with a new edition of Six Cents.

A reminder that the 2023 My 1-2-3 Cents Wrestling Figure Drive has already started. Drop off wrestling figures now at Castle Perilous Games and Books in Carbondale, Illinois. Or you can Venmo me or message me to arrange pickup.

It’s Halloween, and we’re celebrating with a look back at a few haunting matches that Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton has had through the years. The most recent was the Casket Match against Cash at Stride Pro Wrestling’s Fall for All event. Watch it here.

Hatton also once wrestled in costume as the Big Muddy Monster at the Big Muddy Monster Brewfest. Watch that one here.

Nikki Driftwood has been a part of Stride Pro Wrestling for a couple of years now. And this Saturday (Oct. 9), she is retiring from the ring. But her story is a unique one. Before she wrestled as Nikki, she was Cole James, and he was a co-holder of the Stride Pro Wrestling tag team titles. Nikki shares her story on this week’s show.

This month Kevin and Tyler continue to look back on All American Pro Wrestling and ahead to this Saturday’s Stride Pro Wrestling show. Many AAPW stars will be returning that night for Curly’s benefit. It’s at Black Diamond Harley Davidson in Marion and every cent raised that night goes to Curly, who is facing some serious health issues right now.

The 2nd annual Stride Pro Wrestling/My 1-2-3 Cents Pro Wrestling Action Figure Toy Drive is underway now. If you donate $5 or a new wrestling action figure you will be entered into a drawing for an autographed Four Horsemen poster. If you’re not in the area, you can PayPal me kevinhunsperger@gmail.com. You’ll receive one entry for every $5 donated. I will then use that money to buy figures from Five Below.

Stride Pro Wrestling recap

Wow. What a night for Stride Pro Wrestling. September Fallout is in the books and was one of the most chaotic cards in the history of Stride. Unfortunately, I also became a part of that chaos. You can hear more about it in this week’s show.

This episode is a recap of everything that happened and a look ahead to the upcoming show on Friday, Oct. 6 in Pinckneyville. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat will be the guest that night. Also, Stride returns a week later on Saturday, Oct. 14. We’ll countdown to both shows right here on the podcast.

The greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time is taking the show on the road.  The Honky Tonk Man has a new interactive show called Shake, Rattle and Roll.  He’s making a stop in Effingham, Illinois on Thursday, March 24 at the Effingham Performance Center.  The show starts at 7 p.m. and you can learn more details here.

I met HTM for the first time in 1997.  He’s the first wrestler I’ve met, so this interview is particularly important to me.  We discuss the upcoming show, and his life in the ring in the WWF in the late 1980s.  He and “Macho Man” Randy Savage main evented several house shows in that era.  The Honky Tonk Man is on Twitter as @OfficialHTM and he has a Facebook page.

Also coming up this week on the My 1-2-3 Cents blog, Chad and I run down our own MVPs of WrestleMania.  Don’t forget to check out @my123cents on Twitter and Instagram.  Like the Facebook page and subscribe to the YouTube channel.

Princess Kimber Lee

Chikara Pro has a new Grand Champion.  In December 2015 at the season 15 finale, Princess Kimber Lee won the championship from Hallowicked.  Kevin and the Princess discuss her victory and what lead up to that moment.  The two also talk about what the future holds for the new champ as season 16 of Chikara begins January 30.

The two also discuss the role of women in wrestling and how it’s evolving as well as the development of inter-gender matches in the business. Find out who influenced Kimber Lee during childhood and who she’d like to defend the Grand Championship against.  We do know her first opponent will be Oleg the Usurper on January 30 at the season 16 premiere 5 Senses.  That show is happening at the Wrestle Factory in Philadelphia.  Best of luck to the Princess in her first title defense.

You can follow Princess Kimber Lee on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.  And don’t forget to check out the My 1-2-3 Cents blog, YouTube channel, Twitter and Facebook pages.

Happy 2016!
