Episode 52 of Fannin’s Flashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by a former fan, ring announcer, commentator, and manager in IWA Mid South and currently the 500th best professional wrestler in the world according to Pro Wrestling Illustrated…Joey Eastman…or is it Sidney Bakabella?!?!?! Listen to Jim and Joey exchange stories about their similar upbringing as fans and getting into professional wrestling. Hear how Joey got his start in IWA the weekend of Volcano Girls and how nervous he was on that first night at the Shot of Southern Comfort tag title tournament show. We get into the masterminding of the Sidney Bakabella character and how Sid became ranked in the PWI 500. We also ask who is going to be smart enough to print money and have #TheFanninFamily of Connor Hopkins and Trik Davis feud with Channing Thomas and Anthony Greene for the 2027 Indie Feud of the Year? All this and more on this episode of Fannin’s Flashbacks!

Episode 48 of #FanninsFlashbacks is live! This episode is part two with Corporal Robinson. Listen as Corporal Robinson & I discuss the short lived IWAMS softball team, listen to Corp’s thoughts about the feud with Mean Mitch Page and how he looks back on their matches compared to how Mitch talked about them on the podcast back in episodes 13A and 13B. For the IWTV only version, almost 2 hours of match footage from the Mitch vs Corp feud has been added (most of which has never been available on IWTV until now) for you the viewer to make up your own mind. This and more on this week’s episode!

Episode 47 of #FanninsFlashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by a former 2x IWA Mid South World Heavyweight Champion and 2x IWA King of the Death Matches winner (2004 & 2007) and the answer to the trivia question of “Who did Jim work on the most amount of shows with but never managed in IWA?” Corporal Robinson!

Corporal was having a lot of issues with his phone on this one so the podcast ends abruptly after about 1 hour and 45 minutes and we hadn’t even gotten past 2001. Corporal will definitely be back for a part 2 but this one will leave you wanting part 2. Hear all the scandal and hearsay of Corporal and his popularity with the female wrestling fans. Hear all about the backstage skirmishes that Corporal and Jim were a part of and how Corporal was always the first one to have Jim’s back during Jim’s and didn’t need Jim’s help during his. Listen to Corporal talk about his tag team with Blaze, fallouts with Ian, and wrestling in Milwaukee for MAW in addition to IWA. All this and more on this episode of Fannin’s Flashbacks!

Episode 46 of #FanninsFlashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by a former member of #TheFanninFamily from War Games and technically a former IWA Mid South tag team champion, Steve Stone. Disclaimer: This episode has a trigger warning as hazing, mental health and suicide are talked about towards the end of the episode. Before that, you can listen to Steve explain how he got into the business and what led to his impressive winning streak to start his IWA career and what led to that coming to a screeching halt. Did Steve Stone really complain to Ian that I was kicking him too hard which led to us beating the hell out of each other at every opportunity until we were placed together? Listen to Steve and I reminisce about the fun times traveling to IWA shows with Chris Candido and the rest of the big names being flown in during the Highland days and getting to work with Dusty and Funk. Lastly, hear a very emotional Steve Stone talk about the end of his IWA run and the trigger warning material mentioned above. All this and more on this episode of Fannin’s Flashbacks!

Episode 45 of Fannin’s Flashbacks is now live! On this episode, Jim is joined by a former IWA Mid South referee, member of the infamous backyard Lock Family, Bret Hart fan, Maryland man Chris Class!
Listen to Chris talk about backyard wrestling in the Kmart building, cheering wildly for Bret Hart at In Your House Ground Zero, and being in the same wrestling school class as Mickie James! Hear Chris talk about returning to Kentuckiana and becoming a ref on IWA shows and sharing a ref shirt on shows with Mark Wolf. Get Chris’ perspective on what it was like to be the ref during the flaming tables match that severely burned Richard X and how that led to him quitting the business.
