Jim sat down with the sensational Sugar Dunkerton for a chat. If you don't know Suge, he's in the UK for the next six months and is really making his name here after spending his time doing good things on the indie scene in the USA. As the UK scene keeps growing, it's cool to get the perspective of someone who has moved here to be part of it, as opposed to the old tradition of British guys heading for the states to make their fortune. Suge is a GREAT guy and someone you should definitely be chec...

For the last podcast of 2018, Jim sat down with Chris Brooker and Matthew Richards to add nine more names to the Tuesday Night Jaw hall of fame. They got three picks each to add to the 20 names put in there last year, and they must follow these rules: wrestlers must be retired OR over the age of 40, and not currently in the WWE Hall of Fame (or absolute certainties to go in there in the future). Now we need YOUR help. In January we'll add FIVE more names to the Hall of Fame, of your choosing. We...
