We have had the chance to have Manny on Turnbuckle trash many times. Manny is the founder of Devotion Championship Wrestling and over the years we have seen that company grow and have seen him grow as well.  Many has a appeared not only in DCW but also  in IMPACT, ROH, AEW DARK , and many other promotions.

He is the voice of Devotion Championship Wrestling, not only that but he is the cameraman  and the editor.   He is also the man who came up with the idea of Turnbuckle Trash.  A very talented man and a friend.  Here is an interview with Dave and Trent Hunsaker

Dave interviewed West Coast Indy star Blake Grayson at Comic Con in Salt Lake City (Now Fan X).  This is a partial interview where he talked about The Brian Kendrick.

Manny joins Dave and Zane to talk about being on AEW just as the  pandemic began,.   The stresses of owning performing and booking DCW .  Jim Cornett makes false statements about DCW  

Manny talks with us about DCW’s Fourth  anniversary show

Our first name interview was the Masterpiece Chris Masters we talk his days of being in the WWE and how he became a real live hero.

When Zane was still on social media he followed That Wrestling Guy.   He made funny video’s and comments about wrestling and was living in  Australia. Zane set up an interview with Sam and we had so much fun talking wrestling THAT WRESTLING GUY.

In 2015 there was an independent promotion that produced a Saturday morning TV program call Paragon Pro Wrestling.  The show was taped in Las Vegas and lasted one season. It featured, Grangrel and Trent Berretta.  Dave and Zane spoke with Jeff Akin who was one of the announcers on the show.  You can still watch the matches on You Tube 

 In 2018 I interviewed a legend.  Superstar Bill Dundee.  We talked about his days in Memphis , and his rocky relationship with Jerry the King Lawler

Years ago when Kayfabe was dying there was a Tweet were one man said “ IT’S STILL REAL TO ME”  One of the major websites about wrestling adopted that belief  Stillrealtous.com is one of the best website out there about pro wrestling.  We were surprised one day when they tweeted about the Turnbuckle Trash podcast and giving a big compliment.  We reached out and talked to Zanka from Still real to us.

A first time seeing a live wrestling show for a no wrestling fan.   Dave talks with Mitch Henlin who a had just  attended a live WWE event with his special needs brother.

One of  my favorite interviews also makes me sad.  I met The Super Destroyer at the Salt lake Comic Con.  He was taking questions from the crowd and I asked if he could wrestle any pro wrestler and his answer was old school Lou Thez.  I talked with Super D a few times after that.  The Super Destroyer was one of the thousands who died during the Covid 19 Panic

Reka Tehaka was our first interview of a female wrestler.  She has appeared on AEW Dark and was on the Cody Rhoads reality show.  She is now a featured performer on WOW Women of Wrestling, and she wrestles for DCW and several Indy promotions

We first met the MK Bandit when he was with UCW Zero a promotion in Sal Lake city Utah.  We talk to MK about producing product for You Tube and the reason why some promotions call wrestling Sports Entertainment.

On this interview with the MK Bandit Dave and Zane talk with MK about working with Tommy Dreamer and the House of Hardcore, the role of the manager in today’s wrestling.

Just like the rest of the world Pro Wrestling came to a standstill bcasue of Covid 19.  We talked to MK as not only a performer, but as a promoter of a promotion.  This is a incredible look at how world events have affected us all. 

Zane became friends with a man named Bob Condor who is an old time  AWA wrestling fan who has a radio background he also is an actor having appeared in several films and helped in producing live plays and shows.  We talk about the creative side of story telling in wrestling and the people we don’t see the ones behind the show.

 After a DCW event I spoke to a tag team The Brothers Smith “  who had lost earlier in the evening.   A few months later as most tag teams there was a split and Bret Bufsay  who talked about training at The Nightmare Factory  going yo Ohio Valley Wrestling and later he even wrestled the NWA champ Nick Aldis  was born  here are both interviews.

Former Utah State University head basketball coach Craig Smith had feature  video of his team and pro wresting during the NCAA tournament .  We talked about how an award he used featured a wrestling theme.

I ran into a man who worked for a company called Blitz-Analytics  a company that takes stats from major sports and analyzes them  to help develop a allistic plan for some decisions during games.   I was also told several of the writes were wrestling fans like Cody Mannon.  So I reached out to find out more about the company and to tale to a fellow wrestling fan.

Just before the pandemic I took some friends of mine to a Devotion Championship Wrestling event in Salt lake City Utah.  Dave Bair and his son Jon, Dave had never been to a love event and Jon and been to a couple of events with me.  On the way back as we were Diving on I-15 I talked with Dave and Jon,
