| 5/25/23 | Episode 83: Scott Hall Part 1 | On this episode of 10 Bell Pod, Nick, Tyler Wood, and The Man Scout Jake Manning kick off a massive, multi-part main event on the life and career of Scott Hall.We start with his early days grinding through territories and Japan to becoming Razor Ramon, one of the coolest, smartest, and most influential performers wrestling has ever produced. This first chapter focuses on Hall’s rise, his unmatched psychology, his revolutionary work in the WWF, and why his mind for the business made him a locker room gatekeeper long before he was a headline name. It’s part history lesson, part love letter, and part setup for one of the most important career arcs in modern pro wrestling.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEGEPISODE NOTESThis episode exists to explain Scott Hall before the money, before the invasion angles, before nostalgia calcified him into a highlight reel. Part one focuses on how Hall was built: the trauma he carried, the territories that shaped him, and the intellectual approach that made him one of the smartest performers of his era. Core TakeawaysTrauma doesn’t disappear, it redirects: Hall’s early life instability and the strip club shooting didn’t make him edgy. They pushed him toward control, humor, and obsessive focus on wrestling as a coping mechanism.Territories were an education system: Florida, Crockett, AWA, Japan, and Europe weren’t detours. They were laboratories where Hall learned pacing, presence, and how different crowds actually respond.Tagging with Curt Hennig was a masterclass: Wrestling alongside Mr. Perfect accelerated Hall’s learning curve, teaching him economy, timing, and how to let a match breathe.Great gimmicks come from observation, not cosplay: Razor Ramon worked because Hall reverse engineered crowd reactions and built offense, cadence, and finishes around what fans visibly responded to.Confidence beats politics: Hall didn’t chase wins or titles. He trusted that being undeniable in-ring would outlast short-term booking.What Usually Gets MissedScott Hall wasn’t just only naturally cool, he studied why things worked, then engineered his entire career around that knowledge.This episode reframes Hall not as a vibe, but as a thinker whose brilliance came from paying closer attention than almost anyone else. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/23 | Episode 82: Mitsuharu Misawa | On this episode of 10 Bell Pod, Nick Alexander, Tyler Wood, and Jake “The Man Scout” Manning dive into the life, career, and impossible burden carried by Mitsuharu Misawa. From Tiger Mask to All Japan icon, from founding Pro Wrestling NOAH to quite literally giving his life in the ring, this is a sweeping look at greatness, loyalty, leadership, and the brutal cost of carrying an entire industry on your back. It’s not just a greatest hits tour of five-star matches, it’s a meditation on sacrifice, responsibility, and how pro wrestling takes everything it’s owed, sometimes all at once.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEGEpisode NotesMitsuharu Misawa: The Pillar, the Standard, and the Cost of GreatnessThis episode of 10 Bell Pod is a deep dive into the life, career, and legacy of Mitsuharu Misawa, one of the most important wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling and a central architect of modern in ring storytelling.The episode explores why Misawa’s name is too often left out of American “greatest of all time” discussions, despite his unmatched influence on wrestling worldwide. We examine how Japanese wrestling culture, isolation from U.S. television, and differing values around spectacle vs. sport shaped his legacy.Key topics include:Misawa’s difficult childhood and early path into All Japan Pro WrestlingHis rise through the junior division, including the Tiger Mask eraThe historic unmasking that transformed him into a generational starThe formation of the Four Pillars and the Super Generation ArmyLegendary rivalries with Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, and Jumbo TsurutaMultiple Triple Crown reigns and record-breaking matchesThe physical toll of his style and his refusal to stop wrestling despite severe injuriesWe also cover Misawa’s leadership role behind the scenes, including his eventual split from All Japan and the founding of Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he bet on himself, took his locker room with him, and tried to build a promotion centered on worker dignity and wrestling excellence.The episode does not shy away from the darker realities of Misawa’s career: chronic injuries, spinal damage, economic pressures, and the impossible weight he carried as both a top star and company president. We close by discussing his tragic death in the ring in 2009, the aftermath, and what his story reveals about sacrifice, responsibility, and the true cost of greatness in professional wrestling.This is a long, passionate, occasionally unhinged conversation about a man who gave everything to the sport and never asked anyone to do something he wasn’t willing to do himself. | — | ||||||
| 5/11/23 | Davey Boy Smith: The Rise, Chaos, and Tragic End of The British Bulldog: Episode 81 | On this episode of 10 Bell Pod we discuss The British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.From the gritty proving grounds of Stampede Wrestling to the global spotlight of WWE, and through the creative wreckage of late stage WCW, Davey’s story is less about a straight climb to the top and more about survival inside an industry that rarely rewards it.At his peak, he was a prototype for the modern wrestler: explosive, powerful, and agile in ways that wouldn’t fully be appreciated for decades. He stood at the intersection of eras, helping push wrestling forward while never quite securing the place his talent suggested he deserved. Around him, the business evolved. Inside it, the pressure mounted.This isn’t just the story of the British Bulldog.It’s about what happens when generational talent collides with an industry built on excess, questionable loyalty, and short term thinking. It’s about missed timing, fractured partnerships, and the thin line between legend and cautionary tale.Davey Boy Smith didn’t just pass through wrestling history.He left fingerprints all over it.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEG | — | ||||||
| 5/4/23 | The Brian Christopher Story: Too Cool, Jerry Lawler’s Son, and a Tragic Wrestling Legacy - Episode 80 | On this episode of 10 Bell Pod, Nickohlessa, Tyler Wood, and The Man Scout Jake Manning tackle the full, complicated story of Brian Christopher.Know to most fans as Grandmaster Sexay, he was the son of Jerry “The King” Lawler, and one of the most naturally gifted yet tragically undone performers of the Attitude Era. From his electric, underrated Memphis work and the rise of Too Cool, to addiction, arrests, and the deeply troubling circumstances surrounding his death in custody, this is a funny, affectionate, and ultimately heavy look at talent, legacy, family, and how the wrestling business chews people up when the music stops. It’s an episode about what we remember, what we missed, and what Brian Christopher deserved that he never quite got.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEGEPISODE NOTESBrian Christopher: Talent, Too Cool, and the Cost of Being the King’s SonThis episode starts as a loose, funny riff on Too Cool dynamics and ends somewhere much heavier. Using Brian Christopher’s full arc, from Memphis prodigy to WWF star to tragic ending, the episode examines what happens when natural talent, legacy pressure, and an industry built on constant motion collide. It’s less a biography than a systems story about wrestling families, creative freedom, addiction, and what the business gives versus what it takes.Core TakeawaysBrian Christopher was more than the dance: Long before Grandmaster Sexay, he was one of the most over, instinctive workers in Memphis, mastering crowd control, timing, and character without formal training.Legacy can be a trap, not a shortcut: Being Jerry Lawler’s son opened doors but also boxed Brian into expectations, resentment, and a career that was never fully allowed to exist outside his father’s shadow.Too Cool worked because of commitment, not irony: The act succeeded because Brian and Scotty played it straight, understood crowd psychology, and treated silliness with the same seriousness as main-event angles.The Attitude Era rewarded momentum, not safety nets: Once the push stalled and injuries and addiction crept in, there was no real support structure waiting underneath.Brian’s death exposes systemic failure, not just personal demons: Negligence, untreated mental health issues, and a for profit jail system all loom over the unanswered questions surrounding his final days.What Usually Gets MissedBrian Christopher’s story isn’t just tragic, it’s instructive: wrestling will celebrate your instincts when they’re useful, and abandon you the moment they become inconvenient. | — | ||||||
| 4/20/23 | Episode 78: Ashley Massaro | On this episode of 10 Bell Pod, Nick Alexander, Tyler Wood, and The Man Scout Jake Manning take on one of the darkest, most uncomfortable stories of the modern era: the life and career of Ashley Massaro. Framed within the exploitative reality of mid-2000s women’s wrestling, the episode traces Ashley’s rapid rise, lack of training, repeated injuries, and the systemic cruelty she endured inside WWE, culminating in allegations and trauma that forever changed her life. This is not a nostalgia episode or a victory lap; it’s a sober, painful examination of power, negligence, and what happens when an industry treats human beings as disposable content, long after the cameras stop rolling.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEGEpisode NotesAshley Massaro: The Diva Search Era, Systemic Neglect, and a Tragic CostThis episode examines the life and wrestling career of Ashley Massaro, focusing on the realities of the Diva Search era, the lack of training and protection afforded to women at the time, and the long term consequences of institutional negligence.We begin by discussing the broader context of early-2000s women’s wrestling in WWE: a period defined by sexualized presentation, minimal in ring development, and casting driven talent decisions. The episode explores how Ashley, an athletic and charismatic performer with no formal wrestling training, was placed into high-profile situations without adequate preparation or support.Key topics include:Ashley’s background, modeling career, and path into WWE via the 2005 Diva SearchThe absence of proper training and the physical risks that followedEarly concussions, injuries, and rushed returns to actionWWE’s handling of women’s wrestling during this era, both on-screen and backstageAshley’s role alongside Trish Stratus, Mickie James, and later Paul London & Brian KendrickThe way female performers were often used as props rather than protected talentThe episode also addresses the darkest chapters of Ashley’s life with care and seriousness, including allegations related to a WWE-sponsored overseas tour and the company’s response to reported trauma. These sections are handled factually and respectfully, with content warnings given during the show.We close by discussing Ashley’s post-WWE life, her struggles after wrestling, and her death in 2019 at the age of 39. The episode argues that Ashley’s story cannot be separated from the systems that failed her and raises broader questions about accountability, worker safety, and how wrestling history is remembered.This is a difficult but necessary conversation, told with empathy, context, and respect for someone who deserved far better than she received. | — | ||||||
| 4/6/23 | Test (Andrew Martin): The WWE Attitude Era’s Most Overlooked Big Man - Episode 76 | HELLO IS THIS THING ON? In this episode of 10 Bell Pod, we dive into one of the most fascinating “what if” careers of the Attitude Era.Test was a 6’7” powerhouse who went from a chance meeting with Bret Hart to sharing the ring with The Rock, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin… almost overnight.Test was everywhere.Main events. Major storylines. Tag team wars. The hottest era in wrestling history.But somehow, he never quite broke through.We explore the strange, chaotic rise of a wrestler who skipped the line, the opportunities he was given, the moments that should have made him, and the system that may have quietly held him back. From Attitude Era storylines to overlooked in ring performances, this is a deep dive into a career that lived in the margins of greatness.This isn’t just a career retrospective.It’s a look at timing, booking, pressure, and the brutal reality of the wrestling industry.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEG | — | ||||||
| 5/26/22 |  Episode 74: Dusty Rhodes Part 1 | This week on 10 Bell Pod, we don’t just talk about Dusty Rhodes.We talk about why the entire wrestling world still orbits around him.If pro wrestling is one long, messy, generational epic, Dusty isn’t just a character in it. He’s a turning point. A gravitational force. A man who could walk into any territory in America and make it feel bigger just by being there.This episode explores the version of Dusty before the polka dots and nostalgia packages. The hustler bouncing between territories. The outlaw tag partner. The heel who became the voice of the working class. The booker who built empires and burned bridges at the same time.We talk about “Hard Times” not as a famous promo, but as a worldview. About how Dusty embodied blue collar defiance in an era when wrestling was still fragmented into warring kingdoms. About how he could lose the title in five days and somehow feel more important than the champion. About how his peak happened before wrestling went fully national, and yet he was still more over than most people ever get.We also dig into the tension:Dusty the hero. Dusty the politician. Dusty the creative genius. Dusty the guy people blame when the money dries up.Part one of our Dusty series isn’t a checklist of accomplishments. It’s about the climb. The chaos of the territory system and the way one man’s charisma could reshape an entire industry.

From the Texas Outlaws to Florida superstardom, from short NWA title runs to booking Starrcade and WarGames, this is about charisma as currency and wrestling as regional power structure.It’s also about how influence often peaks before the cameras do.Dusty mastered connection before spectacle. The “Hard Times” promo wasn’t just great rhetoric, it was targeted messaging .He evolved from bumping heel to cultural force. Early comedy and tag work with Dick Murdoch gave way to the American Dream, a character built on relatability and regional pride.His short NWA title reigns were strategic. Even five day runs elevated territories, strengthened credibility, and built long term chase angles.Crockett’s success and collapse weren’t the same story. Dusty booked record houses and landmark events, but regional gate driven economics couldn’t compete with WWF’s merchandising and national media strategy.Creative risk defined him. Starrcade, WarGames, the Great American Bash, and emotionally driven angles proved Dusty understood wrestling as episodic mythology long before “premium live events” became corporate language.Dusty’s peak influence happened before wrestling went fully national, he wasn’t reacting to the boom, he was creating the last great version of wrestling before it changed forever. | — | ||||||

| 4/21/22 | Rocky Johnson: Way More Than The Rock's Dad - Episode 69 | This week on 10 Bell Pod, we take a clear eyed look at Rocky Johnson.Rocky was a foundational figure in pro wrestling whose story is far bigger, and far messier, than the version most fans know.For many, Rocky is remembered as one half of the Soul Patrol and or “The Rock’s dad.” This episode digs into everything that gets left out. Born Wayde Douglas Bowles in Nova Scotia in 1944, Rocky came up through boxing, coal mines, and the brutal Canadian territory system before becoming a true road warrior of wrestling’s golden age. H trained under Stu Hart, he worked nearly every major territory in North America, toured Japan, and built a reputation as an elite athlete with one of the best dropkicks the business ever saw.We explore what it meant to be a Black champion in the territory era, the barriers Rocky broke, the resistance he faced, and his refusal to conform to racist expectations in Southern wrestling. Rocky didn’t assimilate. He dominated. That stance helped reshape what was possible for wrestlers of color who followed.We also confront the harder truths.Rocky Johnson’s personal life and reputation were complicated, and his legacy includes serious allegations and behavior that can’t be ignored.This episode doesn’t smooth that over. Instead, it examines the tension between his groundbreaking professional achievements and the damage tied to his personal choices.This isn’t a tribute or a teardown.It’s context.Rocky Johnson was a pioneer who opened doors , and a deeply flawed man whose story resists a clean ending. This episode sits with both truths, because that’s the only honest way to talk about his legacy.IMPORTANT LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10bellpodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/10BellPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/10BellPodProWrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/10bellpod.htmlPayPal Donation - 9BHDW7Y2KMBTYDiscord: https://discord.gg/64GdAqEGEPISODE NOTESRocky Johnson: Territory Stardom, Power, and a Complicated LegacyThis episode exists to explain Rocky Johnson as more than “The Rock’s dad” or a single historical milestone. Using the territory system as its lens, the episode examines how Rocky became a true nationwide star, how race and power operated inside wrestling’s segregated structures, and how individual success can coexist with deeply harmful behavior. It’s a story about labor, leverage, and how legacy gets flattened when it’s uncomfortable.Rocky Johnson was a real territory draw. Long before WWF fame, he was a perennial main eventer across Canada, the West Coast, the South, and Texas, presented as a star wherever he landed.His athletic legitimacy mattered. A boxing background shaped his footwork, striking, and presentation, giving promoters and announcers an easy way to frame him as “real” in every territory.Historic firsts came with contradictions. Rocky was a barrier breaker as a Black champion in multiple territories and in WWF, but credible accounts describe him using his power to block other Black wrestlers from getting work.The system rewarded leverage, not solidarity. Wrestling’s territorial economics encouraged protectionism, ego, and gatekeeping, even among people facing the same structural racism.The Soul Patrol was both historic and poisoned. His WWF tag run with Tony Atlas mattered symbolically, but personal animosity and backstage politics undercut what should have been a lasting moment.Rocky Johnson wasn’t a simple pioneer or a simple villain, he was a product of a system that rewarded dominance, tolerated cruelty, and rarely asked powerful stars to be decent. | — | ||||||
