This past week marked the 35th anniversary of the first Ric Flair-Hulk Hogan match. It happened in the WWF, and many fans still wonder why we didn’t get this at WrestleMania VIII a few months later.

So, being a nerd for nostalgia, that’s what I’m talking about this week. What are your thoughts?

Not unlike last week, we’re once again chatting about a variety of wrestling topics, past and present, which sends us down a wrestling rabbit hole.

From AEW’s WrestleDream to Gunther’s lack of movement to Max Caster’s misstep, we cover a lot this week.

We’re off the rails on this week’s podcast, with no real topic in mind- just thoughts on the current product in WWE and AEW. The bulk of the discussion is on the heels of Money in the Bank 2026, including what’s next for LA Knight, Roman Reigns, Oba Femi, and more.

What are your thoughts? Do you prefer podcasts that cover modern wrestling or more retro conversations?

Chad Smart and Kevin Hunsperger share memories of PAC and watch a 2012 match that pitted the Englishman against El Generico. Kevin was on the call for that show, which you can watch here.

I touch on AAPW, Stride, Pro Wrestling Collision, SICW, and others. What’s your favorite promotion in southern Illinois?

My journey in journalism includes a four-year stop in Indiana. While the experience was not my favorite, the people I worked with made it unforgettable.

Also, while living in West Lafayette, Indiana, our family grew from two to four, as our two sons were born in Tippecanoe County.

This week I recount some of the time we spent in Greater Lafayette and my years as a reporter and producer at WLFI-TV.

Wrestling in the 80s was a much simpler time. Don’t get me wrong, I love social media, but I think it has helped create a toxic environment for wrestling fans (and everyone, really).

This week on the podcast, Chad Smart and I discuss life before everything went viral or tried to go viral.

Where have all the heels gone? It seems that these days, wrestling lacks a deep pool of bad guys. Now more than ever, we’re getting more main-event matches from both companies, featuring face vs. face. Agree? Disagree? Check out this week’s episode and weigh in either way.

The My 1-2-3 Cents brand was in its infancy but was really starting to take off, with interviews featuring D’Lo Brown, Mickie James, Lex Luger, and Nikita Koloff. I was also getting very involved in AAPW and got to manage Velvet Sky for the night. Somehow, I forgot to mention the fact that I met Hacksaw Jim Duggan that summer, too, my bad.

This week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, we’re talking about something a lot of wrestling fans have probably felt at one time or another: fan fatigue.

With WWE, AEW, TNA, streaming specials, premium live events, weekly TV, and endless content online, has wrestling become too much of a good thing? We compare today’s nonstop wrestling landscape to the “good ol’ days” when fans had fewer hours of programming, but maybe appreciated it more.

This isn’t about bashing modern wrestling; there’s more great talent and access than ever before, but we do explore whether oversaturation can make it harder for moments to truly feel special.

For years, many wrestling fans have pointed to Ultimate Warrior as one of the reasons the WWF business declined in 1990 after Hulk Hogan stepped away. Even Hogan called the move one of wrestling’s biggest mistakes on the Real American documentary. But was Warrior really to blame?

This week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, Kevin and Chad take a closer look at the state of wrestling in 1990 and examine whether the criticism aimed at the Ultimate Warrior is actually fair. From changing wrestling trends and roster depth to business decisions behind the scenes, the guys break down what was really happening during one of the most talked-about periods in WWF history.

Was Warrior set up to fail? Did fans unfairly compare him to Hulk Hogan? Or is there some truth to the criticism?

The guys dive into the debate and revisit one of wrestling’s most controversial championship runs.

Has tag team wrestling died, or just changed?

This week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, we take a deep dive into the evolution of tag team wrestling. From the glory days of the 1980s, when teams were larger than life, to today’s landscape, things aren’t the same.

We break down:

What made tag team wrestling special in the past
Where things started to shift
How today’s product compares across all promotions
And what the future might hold for tag teams in wrestling, not just WWE

Is this the end of an era… or the start of something new?

Before the podcast, before Shawnee Community College, before the HunsBurger Chronicles… there was Chuck E. Cheese.

This week, I’m taking a trip back to my college days (1993–1996) when I worked at one of the most legendary places a kid could visit. I’m sharing stories from behind the scenes, the chaos of birthday parties, arcade memories, strange moments with customers, and what that job taught me.

If you ever spent time at Chuck E. Cheese in the 90s, this one is packed with nostalgia.

Did I wear the costume?
Did I survive the party rushes?
Was the pizza actually good?

Tune in and find out.

WrestleMania 42 is right around the corner, but how excited are we really?

This week, Chad and Kevin dive into the current build toward WrestleMania and share their honest reactions to the matches, storylines, and overall hype. From what’s clicking to what’s falling flat, they break down whether this year’s event is shaping up to be a can’t-miss show or one that still needs a spark.

Plus, what could WWE do in the coming weeks to raise the stakes and deliver that true WrestleMania feel?

It’s hard to believe, but Chad and I attended our first WrestleMania 20 years ago this week. We went to WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. This week on the podcast, we share the story behind the story of the trip and why we decided ‘one and done’ wasn’t an option.

Who is Ms. WrestleMania?

That’s the question we’re diving into this week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast.

We take a deep dive into some of the biggest names in WWE history, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley, and debate who has truly delivered the most on wrestling’s biggest stage.

From main event moments to match-of-the-night performances, we break it all down before making our final pick.

👑 One woman stands above the rest.

What if history went the other way?

This week on My 1-2-3 Cents, Chad Smart and I rewind the clock to one of the most pivotal moments in pro wrestling history, the 2001 sale of WCW. But instead of Vince McMahon buying WCW… we flip the script.

What if WCW had purchased the WWF?

We dive into the “what ifs” of this alternate wrestling universe:

Would WCW have survived long-term?
How would top WWF stars have been used (or misused)?
Does the Monday Night War end… or just change battlefields?
And what happens to the wrestling business as a whole?

It’s a fun, thought-provoking conversation as we celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the moment that changed everything.

This week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, we’re stepping outside the wrestling ring for a special non-wrestling episode.

I opened the floor to listener questions, and you delivered. In this episode, I tackle questions about branding and marketing, share some thoughts on burgers and the HunsBurger Chronicles, and even dive into a few things on my bucket list.

It’s a fun mix of personal stories, professional insight, and a little food talk along the way.

This week on the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, Kevin and Chad revisit the historic first WrestleMania I and discuss just how risky the event really was for Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation.

From the star power of Hulk Hogan and Mr. T to the villainous duo of Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, the event became a cultural milestone. But Kevin and Chad ask the big question: What if WrestleMania hadn’t worked?

The guys explore the potential ripple effects on wrestling history and how the entire industry might look today if the gamble had failed. A fun wrestling history “what if” discussion you won’t want to miss. 🎙️

Danhausen has officially made his WWE debut, and it’s a move we never thought we’d see in modern WWE.

On this week’s My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast, Kevin and Chad break down the surprise arrival of one of wrestling’s most unique characters. Does Danhausen fit in today’s WWE landscape? Is he a niche cult favorite, or could he become a mainstream merchandising machine?

We discuss:

Why this signing feels unexpected
Whether WWE will “get” the character
The marketing potential (very nice… very profitable?)
And what this means for WWE’s creative direction

Plus your thoughts and reactions.

Let us know, does Danhausen belong in WWE?

This week on My 1-2-3 Cents, Kevin Hunsperger and Chad Smart dive into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Do you like the way it’s currently structured?
Should it feel more prestigious?
Is it too bloated?
And who’s still on the outside looking in?

The guys break down what works, what doesn’t, and how they’d tweak the ceremony if they were in charge. Plus, they debate which wrestling legends still deserve that Hall of Fame moment.

And because no episode is complete without a little chaos, Kevin faces a round of Blind Rankings, this time deciding what he’d be most willing to give up for Lent. Some of the answers may surprise you.

In this episode, I step outside the wrestling ring and focus on something just as important: brand building and content creation.

From personal projects to professional platforms, I share practical insights on how brands are built with intention, how consistent content shapes perception, and why authenticity matters more than chasing trends. We talk about finding your voice, creating content that actually connects, and showing up consistently without burning out.

Whether you’re a creator, marketer, business owner, or someone responsible for telling an organization’s story, this episode is about strategy, storytelling, and playing the long game.

No wrestling talk this time, just an honest conversation about branding, creativity, and building something that lasts.

In this episode:

Building a brand with purpose and consistency
Creating meaningful content without chasing every trend
Why authenticity still wins
Thinking long-term instead of viral

As 2025 comes to a close, the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast wraps up the year the only way we know how, by talking wrestling, reflecting on what worked (and what didn’t), and looking ahead to what’s next.

In this final episode of the year, we look back at the most significant moments, surprises, hot takes, and conversations from 2025, both in the ring and on the podcast. From matches and storylines that stood out to themes that defined the year, we revisit what made 2025 memorable.

Then it’s full speed ahead to 2026. We talk about expectations, predictions, what we’re excited to cover in the year ahead, and how the podcast may evolve moving forward.

Thank you to everyone who listened, shared, commented, and supported My 1-2-3 Cents in 2025. We’ll see you in 2026, same passion, same love for wrestling, and plenty more cents to give.

Pro wrestling’s best-known Superstar, Hulk Hogan, has died. It was a shock to many fans. This week on the podcast, Chad and I reflect on the years of Hulkamania, ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan, and much more. We understand not everyone is a fan of Hogan in light of comments and actions over the past decade. However, we are separating Terry Bollea from Hulk Hogan and focusing on the wrestling and entertainment side of things.

Nerds United’s first episode was released on June 10, 2013. It featured Van Jensen and told his story from small-town Nebraska the Green Lantern Corps title for DC Comics. Check it out here: https://jitterymonkey.com/nu1/

The show has had several iterations and featured so many talented people. But at some point, the conversation shifted. It took five years for the show to get to its 100th episode. Mike had his first appearance in May of 2018 in episode 95 to discuss Avengers: Infinity War.

Mike would stay on, under the moniker of “Co-Host of the Year.” And with a reliable co-host, the content would amplify. If it took five years to get to the 100-episode milestone, it would take only six more years for the other 300.

But the time has come to say goodbye.

On this final episode, we will get current on any recent comic book acquisitions, and strongly urge you to support your local brick and mortar comic book shop.

We will get caught up on anything we’ve seen recently. And let’s face it – there’s so much to see.

We will share memories. We will laugh. We will drink.

We will say goodbye.

Until then, and after this episode, always remember to Be Kind.

Beer and wrestling figures are the topics of this week’s podcast. I cracked open a can of Garage Beer, the official beer of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. So, because of that, I’m also chatting about a few of my favorite wrestling figs.

This week on Nerds United, Mike is putting in a call to the bullpen (that’s a sports reference) and bringing in his son Nolan to discuss Dungeons and Dragons.

Nolan has been on the show before, back in the Very Special Christmas Special 2019. But Nolan is now in college and has been playing D&D for awhile.

In this episode, Nolan is going to educate Greg on a lot of Dungeons and Dragons basics. There may even be some character creation live on the show.

And if there’s time, the Co-Host of the Year will return to discuss any news and notes at the end of the show.

It’s Theater of the Mind when Dungeons and Dragons comes to Nerds United.

As always, Be Kind.

Thirteen years ago this week, All American Pro Wrestling held its biggest event ever, Main Event. This marked my wrestling debut, but there were lots of things happening behind the scenes with the company. This week, AAPW Executive Producer Chris Hagstrom sheds some light on what was going on backstage and beyond.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are back in the new year and are ready to…oh wait, they’ve been snowed in this week. That means that Greg’s kids have been to school exactly one day in the last three weeks.

But what that allowed was for a lot of comic book reading by Greg. He even watched a movie he probably should not have, in retrospect.

Hopefully you all had a great first week of 2025 and are ready to hang out with us. We look forward to sharing some fun stories and news and notes.

We’re getting closer to Nolan sharing his Dungeons & Dragons expertise with us. Maybe next week. Maybe tonight. Who knows.

As always…be kind.
