The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling welcomes the truly exciting ACH to the Podcast. ACH is known as “The Last Dragon”, “The Glow Of Texas”, “Human Video Game Highlight” and one of the best high flyers in wrestling today.

Since 2012, ACH has accomplished so much and has become a staple of the ROH locker-room. He gives us a first-hand look at his TV title feud vs. Jay Lethal, teaming with Matt Sydal facing the ROH Champion Jay Briscoe in Texas and so much more. It is really a fun chat with a truly unique individual.

Ring of Honor star ACH on Jay Lethal and the ROH TV Title

Attending WWE’s NXT tryout camp in 2014:

Bill Demott was there and he was not a jackass, he was actually one of the nicest trainers, but really all of them were nice, he was just very nice and it sucks that people came out and he lost his job with these allegations. It was one of the most intense trainings or boot camps I’ve ever been to. It really all comes down to heart, wrestling is based on heart and the mental, they just want to see if they can break you and see if you can hold on, because only the strong survive in this world.

Feedback he received from the NXT tryout:

They just said to me not right now, which I understand. Look at the guys they’ve got there right now, good things happen to those that wait and it’s truly true. I am a firm believer in when it happens it’s supposed to happen. I can patiently wait and honestly I love the Indies. A lot of guys don’t like the Indies because a lot of guys want to hot shot and go right there because thats the big bucks and where I don’t blame them, I love what I do. I love wrestling and before I go there I want to get all that I can out of Ring of Honor, I want to be the best wrestler for Ring of Honor that I can be. I want to learn all I can right now so that I am ready.

Facing Samoa Joe in ROH:

There is no way I ever thought I would be in the ring with Joe, so to actually wrestle Joe was such a cool experience. But I had to fight Joe. I watched Joe knock out Kenta, so my mentality going into that match was; I am going to bring it and I know that I brought it.

Some of his favorite matches to date:

My time limit draw with (Jay) Lethal I really enjoyed. My match with Cedric (Alexander) from Mike’s (Bennet) Bachelor Party was one of my favorite matches with Cedric, who I think does not get the props that he deserves and then my match with Jimmy Jacobs. Jimmy was someone I always wanted to wrestle and when I was going through a lot of my early issues in Ring of Honor, Jimmy was always there whispering things in my ear that kept me going. So he has been a really big help to me and I genuinely look up to him, he’s got such a great mind and is a really cool to be in the ring with.

TNA Reportedly Experiencing More Issues With Pay

According to a report by Brian Fritz of the Sporting News, it seems as if TNA Wrestling is experiencing more pay issues, fueling the fire to rumors of talent getting late checks over the past several weeks.

The story says that several freelance workers have stated that TNA is behind on paying several members of the production staff. It was also said that those workers were shorted on past checks.

The back pay stems from the One Night Only tapings, which took place over two months ago. The accounting department told an employee that checks were made out almost two weeks ago, but nobody has received them.

We also heard similar complaints from one member of the production crew.

We spoke to Matt Hardy earlier in the week, who said the following regarding the TNA pay rumors:

“If someone has an issue with pay, I feel like it needs to be directed to the office and handled there. It sucks and it’s unfortunate that a story like that spreads and puts a stain on Impact Wrestling, who are doing a lot of positive things right now. TNA has been extraordinary to me, nothing but professional. They even gave me time off at the last TV tapings to fulfill a commitment I had for 8 months, when they needed me at TV. That shows how professional they were to the boys. It’s nowhere near as bad as what people are saying.”

ROH Star Rips New Day Gimmick For Being Offensive, Talks Race Issues In Pro Wrestling

ROH star Cedric Alexander appeared on the latest episode of the Jobbing Out podcast with Glenn Clark and Aaron Oster. During the interview, Alexander talked about why he wouldn’t appear on WWE programming as a Rosebud. Alexander noted that he knows people who would never do it because of “guys like The New Day.”

“This opens up a whole different can of worms here, because everyone I know that watches WWE is offended by The New Day… extremely offended because of the whole racial thing,” Alexander said. “It’s like, ‘oh we’re three black guys, we’ll sing, we’ll dance. You’ve got Kofi Kingston, who’s a phenomenal athlete, Big E Langston is a gigantic, threatening man and Xavier Woods is extremely intelligent. So why make them sing and dance when they obviously can be more… serious, I guess?

“When they first started this thing, it was like two or three weeks that they did it where Xavier would come out and be like a Malcolm X type of thing. He was preaching black power without saying black power, which I think is fantastic because you don’t offend anyone. But when you’ve got three black guys singing and dancing, stereotypes get fed too much and I hate it.”

Alexander was asked if there was a bigger problem in pro wrestling regarding African Americans in the business and it was noted that African Americans are rarely involved in big matches at an event like WrestleMania. Alexander said that while the business has gotten better from even 15 years ago, there’s still an issue. He said that he loves Caprice Coleman like a brother, but he always thought that he was put in a team with him because ROH simply didn’t have a black tag team.

“It’s always a weird thing because you’ve got one black guy and another black guy, let’s put them together in a tag team,” Alexander said. “If you take a guy like ACH and Rich Swann and compare those two guys who are completely different wrestlers. But if you put them side-by-side, people who are not big indie fans automatically assume that they’re a tag team or do the same moves because they’re two black guys who happen to be smaller and athletic.”

Alexander said that wrestlers probably take stereotypical gimmicks because they’re under contract and getting paid “a buttload of money.” He noted that the New Day gimmick might be more bearable for the group because they are close friends.

The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast welcomes Ring of Honor Superstar and the other half of the tag team War Machine, Raymond Rowe. We spoke with War Beard Hanson (Download link-http://tmptow.podoma…18_31_27-08_00)while Rowe was recuperating from a devastating motorcycle accident that side lined him for nearly 7 months and Hanson stated that Rowe would be back and better than ever and War Beard was truly on the money. Rowe, takes us back to the start of his career and all of the success he has seen while traveling through the ranks of different Independent promotions all the way to the incapacitating accident and his success in Ring of Honor both with War Beard Hanson as War Machine and while wrestling in singles competition for ROH.

In the following clip Ring of Honor star Raymond Rowe on the tag team scene in ROH and The Brisco Brothers

On coming back from the devastating motorcycle accident in August 2014:

I feel like Superman right now. I feel like I am in better shape, stronger and I am definitely more driven then I have been at any point in my life. I’ve got a second chance on life, a second chance in my career so I am not wasting a day. Ever since I was released to start training and lifting again, right around Thanksgiving I haven’t missed a workout, haven’t missed a meal and I’ve never been so dedicated and so focused. After what I went through, literally nothing has been more important than this.

What did the Doctors say to you about the accident:

When I got hurt I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to use my arm again, definitely not wrestle. The first three doctors I talked to could not explain to me why I was alive. That is a really sobering thing to hear. After that not only being able to beat estimates on my return but being able to do what I love is a dream come true.

Changes you made while recuperating:

When I got hurt I was between 235 and 240lbs and I am now at about 255. Six months off let my body heel and I switched up my training techniques and my training partners and not to say I didn’t train hard before, but I found a new me that I didn’t think was there.

Reforming War Machine with War Beard Hanson:

It feels like we haven’t missed any time, which is a really weird thing to say because I have been on the sidelines but Hanson and I got back in the ring and I knew exactly where he was going to be and exactly what he was thinking. We picked up right where we left off and we are coming back stronger than ever.

Dana White Says UFC Wasn’t Close To Signing Brock Lesnar

The Brock Lesnar WWE-UFC saga was one of the more interesting, anticipated stories of the year leading into WrestleMania. Lesnar had leveraged the two companies against each other as an upcoming free agent, and looked to maximize his value.

Despite many thinking that a UFC return was a slam dunk, Lesnar surprised many by choosing WWE over professional fighting. As it turns out, UFC President Dana White doesn’t think that UFC had much of a chance to begin with, and expected as much to happen.

“Not very close at all,” White said to Chad Dukes on 106.7 The Fan on Thursday. “We’d known that Brock was probably going to take a pass and go back to wrestling, which was the right move. You know, Brock came in here, he did incredible things and he got a great deal from Vince. He’s 38 years old, man. It makes all the sense in the world.”

Lesnar instead signed a new three-year deal with WWE, before dropping the WWE World Heavyweight Title to Seth Rollins in a surprise move at WrestleMania. Lesnar is currently serving a storyline suspension from the WWE.

During his WWE contract announcement, the former UFC Heavyweight champion closed the door on his MMA career.

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels appeared on The Ross Report this week to promote his new book and hunting show, but talked his fair share of wrestling. Yesterday we noted that Michaels isn’t interested in working creatively with the WWE. He also mentioned the company has an offer for him at WrestleMania 32.

Jim Ross prodded at Michaels about the event, noting that the event will likely be trying to draw over 100,000 attendees. Ross said that guys like Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin who are from the area will likely be called and made offers to compete.

“I’ve already had an offer. I’ve enjoyed being retired,” Michaels said.

Michaels, despite receiving numerous offers from WWE throughout the years has kept his word about his retirement. Michaels also said at this point he doesn’t have an interest in working with WWE developmental, either.
