Hoo boy. It has been a very long time since I edited this page. Let’s start with the stuff that has not changed….at least not that much.
I have been a professional wrestling fan for pretty much as long as I can remember. The first pro wrestling card I went to featured Tony Atlas vs. Ken Patera at the old Capital Centre outside of Washington DC. I saw so many cards there I lost track. Some of those cards were epics in every sense of the word. I saw a lumberjack match between Bruno Sammartino and Larry Zybysko. I saw Hulk Hogan face Andre The Giant—but this was when Hulk was the heel and Andre was the face. I saw just about every superstar you could hope to see during wrestling’s golden era (or one of the golden eras depending on your age and point of view), including Hogan, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, Andre, Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts, Sting, Lex Luger, Ric Flair, the Road Warriors, Demolition and more. After I relocated to California, I was as heavily into the Attitude Era as anyone and I saw several Smackdown tapings in Bakersfield, California—including the night Stone Cold Steve Austin and Booker T destroyed the Green Frog Supermarket. I remember even being at the WWE themed restaurant in New York City just after it opened. Through the years I have been to Summer Slam (twice), a Royal Rumble, a Survivor Series, a Money in the Bank, the Great American Bash the night Sting won his first World Championship, several other PPVs, NXT Takeovers, many Raws and Smackdowns and, as of 2025, six WrestleManias!
When Attitude of Aggression first started in 2015, the focus was different than what the show is now. For more than a decade now, I have been involved in many Episodes of this show (over 300 Episodes and counting) along with being a guest on other great wrestling podcasts. I have interviewed probably close to 50 wrestlers, from guys and gals on the Indy scene to Hall of Famers. We established what I consider to be the best Awards show in all of Pro Wrestling Podcasts, the Swaggy Awards, our end of the year celebration of the best-of-the-best in pro wrestling. This past year was our 10th annual installment of those awards, which have mirrored WrestleMania and have now evolved into a two-part event.
Presently, the podcast is focused on the Big Five Project, a chronological review and analysis of WWE’s Big Five PPVs/PLEs. I am typically joined by my partners in crime, PC Tunney and DJ, and we have been having a great time for a couple of years now reviewing, analyzing, and discussing some of the most iconic events in pro wrestling history. Sure, we still discuss the current product. But the historical aspects of these past Big Five events really add layers and depth to any true fans enjoyment of pro wrestling, the rich storytelling inherent in it, and the tremendous men and women who put their bodies and lives on the line all in the name of sports-entertainment. If you are a fan of the origins of pro wrestling, how it became the entertainment juggernaut it currently is, and where things might be headed next, then you will absolutely love the Big Five Project!
