Podcast Episode 170.5: Interview with Impact Wrestling’s Magnus

Magnus forgot to pack shirts. Now he had two for the weekend.
Magnus forgot to pack shirts. Now he had two for the weekend.

During WrestleMania weekend in San Jose, Magnus (@MagnusOfficial) took a moment away from all of the hustle and bustle at Wrestlecon to speak with our very Billi (@DirteeJesus). They discuss his journey from training with the Knight family in England (Paige’s family) to the British version of American Gladiators and his start with TNA Impact Wrestling. From there, they go in depth through his career so far with TNA – including a really cool story about Sting, being booked as the first champion from the United Kingdom, controversy over his title run and heel turn, his relationships with Rockstar Spud and Bram… and much more.

Mind the background noise a bit – you may hear Mickie James and their baby, Colt Cabana, Marty Derosa, ACH, and various other convention noises. Overall, it’s pretty easy to follow along and I think you’ll really enjoy the conversation!

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
