Tuesday Night Jaw

Jim has a great chat with Trent Seven, a man rightly getting great press for his work in PROGRESS, ICW, Chikara, Rev Pro and Fight Club Pro. They talk name origins, ambitions, bucket lists and quite a lot about beard maintenance.

After the latest Smackdown brand PPV, Jim got together with friend and journalist Kirsty Bosley to discuss No Mercy, as well as come up with wrestler themed films, answer your questions and loads more besides. Only two people so a tad shorter than the usual roundtable episodes! TNJ is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.

This week Jim had a chat with up and coming junior heavyweight Chris Ridgeway, who is already starting to make some big waves around the UK scene. They talk about influences, training and one of the worst sounding injuries ever.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Recorded in a slightly bizarre location, Jim chats to brilliant Australian stand-up comedian John Robertson, the man behind the live action video-game show "The Dark Room". John happens to be a huge wrestling fan and has some in-ring experience too, so listen to him chat about the Hulkamania tour, answering an open challenge and his favourite wrestling figures as a kid.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Jim had a chat with "Liverpool's Number One" Zack Gibson this week, everyone's favourite heat magnet. The chat covers how Zack got started in the business, playing a cheeseburger on Raw and a wonderful story about his first trip to wrestle in China. It's a great talk with a young man who is destined for awesome things in the industry.

With Summerslam around the corner, Jim decided to choose his favourite ten Summerslam matches ever... but with a few stipulations (as is the Tuesday Night Jaw way). Once he chose one match he couldn't use another from that same card (so two matches from Summerslam 92 wouldn't be allowed), nor could any wrestler appear more than once in the top ten. That made it much more tricky! Have a listen and tweet your list to @jimsmallman using #TuesdayNightJaw. TNJ is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.

With Jim waiting at home for his wife to go into labour, he's not been able to get out to interview anyone this week. He has been able to answer a plethora of your questions about WWE, PROGRESS, British Wrestling, NJPW and baby names though! It's all a bit stream of consciousness as he's stressed out waiting for contractions to start (and he's not even the one having them!) but he answers a lot of stuff. #TuesdayNightJaw is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the WWE Draft / Battleground roundtable special as Jim is joined by Scroobius Pip, Beez and "Bodyguy" Roy Johnson. Loads is discussed, the usual tangents and yes, we're staying as TUESDAY Night Jaw. Not Wednesdays.

Well, this a bit of a special one. Jim had a chat with a British wrestling legend, the one and only William Regal. From his humble beginnings wrestling in Blackpool to being one of the driving forces behind NXT and the WWE Performance Centre, Mr Regal has seen and done it all. He talks about taking on all comers in Blackpool, his travels to Germany, Japan and South Africa, the best Terry Funk story we've ever heard, British wrestlers from the World of Sport era that you should know about and tons more besides. It's a great chat with a full-on hero! Make sure you subscribe, share around www.jimsmallman.com/tnj and tweet us with #TuesdayNightJaw.

So we've had a few questions about New Japan Pro Wrestling and the upcoming G1 Climax tournament, so we thought we'd put together a big episode to discuss all things NJPW and preview the month long round-robin competition. Joining Jim are Japanese wrestling nerd, presenter, ring announcer and all-round good egg Matthew Richards, and the less nerdy but still excellent comedian Chris Brooker. We answered questions, profiled everyone in the G1, talked about great matches and names from NJPW and had a good (and LONG) chat. Maybe put the kettle on before you start. And we're sorry about none of us being able to pronounce "Los Ingobernables" properly. Tweet us using #TuesdayNightJaw and keep spreading the word.

A lot of regular TNJ listeners have asked how Jim felt the mooted WWE brand split would go, so he's got together with friend of the show Chris Brooker to draft their rosters.

Jim had a chat with comedian Chris Brooker, the man responsible for bringing wrestler stand-up tours and Q and A sessions to these shores a few years back. He was the first to do it, and also the reason that our host is as into wrestling as he is now! Hear about Chris's adventures with Mick Foley, William Regal, Roddy Piper, Diamond Dallas Page and more. Tuesday Night Jaw is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.

Jim sits down in North Wales to answer your questions. What are his favourite five matches that he's seen live? Favourite storylines and finishing moves?
