Hi Guys I've been doing my podcast/radio show Get in the Ring for a little over a year now and I have fun doing it but I've been a little upset with the lack of traction it has gotten. Sometimes I'll have 75 downloads when someone like Dylan Hales, or Bill Apter on but have a lack of downloads when i have no guest on. It's been really frustrating looking the listener counts when I go live or downloads on the on demand. I'm trying different things to separate myself from the pack but it hasn't worked and I don't know what it is. The same people are listening to my show and I'm getting no feedback on what I can do better so it's really hard to create a formula that works …

A history of how the McMahon's came to rule New York. I'm only 100 pages in and this thing is fantastic. A gritty, detail-heavy look at all the politics, unexpected shoot-fights, double-crosses and back-stabbings that characterized wrestling from 1880's onward. Think Boardwalk Empire of the WWE. If anything on the subject could ever be an HBO mini-series, this is it. Amazing to see so many parallels to more modern eras. Too many to list, but one I just read was of feud between Dano O'Mahoney, the charismatic, fair-haired, Irish-American superman and Ali Baba; "short and squat with good muscle development and a pointed mustache, he was a standout performer but an u…
