Talk Is Jericho

Author Steven Bell returns to break down the real story behind his new book Big Daddy vs Haystacks and the rivalry that took over British wrestling (and television). He explains how Big Daddy (aka Shirley Crabtee, Jr) and Giant Haystacks (aka Martin Ruane) became massive pop-culture icons, why their feud pulled in millions of viewers every week, and how years of tension finally exploded in their legendary Wembley Arena showdown – one of the most watched wrestling matches in UK history! Steven reveals how the rivalry was stretched out on TV for years, what
really happened in the ring at Wembley, and why that match became both the high point and the turning point of the British wrestling boom. He also gets into their connections to WWE – why Big Daddy never crossed over, how Giant Haystacks later surfaced in the States as “Loch Ness,” and what their brief American runs exposed about the clash between British wrestling and the American style. Plus, Steven shares behind-the-scenes stories from Stampede Wrestling, including what Bret Hart really thought of Haystacks during his time in Canada, and how those Stampede matches helped shape the legend, and the mythology of Giant Haystacks outside the UK.

Award-winning filmmaker, futurist, and consciousness researcher Caroline Cory breaks down the mysterious Buga Sphere (the strange metallic object found in Mexico made from 12,000-year-old material). She explains why scientists still can’t debunk it, where it is now, and what it could mean for non-human intelligence. Caroline talks about her documentary A Tear in the Sky and the real-time anomaly her team captured over the California coast, how Tic Tac UAPs forced the Pentagon to admit the existence of UAPs, and why she believes the disclosure is happening now. She explains telekinesis, remote viewing, and why she believes human are capable of abilities we’ve been trained to use (like moving objects with our minds and changing the pH balance in water). Caroline details the CIA’s Stargate Program, and how remote viewing was used for intelligence gathering. Plus, she predicts what’s coming next for humanity, why governments may soon acknowledge non-human intelligence, and how consciousness could be the key to understanding both UFO technology and human potential. And then there’s her own personal UFO story.

Former WCW wrestler Crowbar (aka Chris Ford) tells the unbelievable story of how he went from gothic hardcore wrestler to real-life physical therapist who helps injured wrestlers get back in the ring. Chris talks about getting into wrestling while still in high school, juggling college and WCW bookings, and the advice Diamond Dallas Page gave him that changed the course of his career. He explains how the Crowbar gimmick was created, what it was like teaming with David Flair and Daphne, and why working with Terry Funk was one of the biggest moments of his life. Crowbar also shares stories from WCW’s final chaotic years, wrestling Chris Benoit, Vampiro, and Sabu, and why his run ended just before the company folded. Plus, he reveals how his second career as a licensed physical therapist led him to rehabbing wrestlers like Joey Janela and AEW’s Brian Cage, why Cage flew across the country to work with him, and how knowing the human body changed the way he wrestles today.

Matthew and Gunnar Nelson tell the true story behind their famous last name – growing up as the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet, and why their childhood was nothing like the sitcom America thought it was. They open up about their turbulent family life, losing their father in a tragic plane crash, and why the long-standing rumors about that crash are completely wrong. They also break down
their own meteoric rise in the MTV era with “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection,” what it was like becoming teen heartthrobs overnight, and why being judged by their image nearly derailed their music careers. Matthew and Gunnar talk about being written off as “trust fund kids,” how they really made their money (and lost it), the brutal realities of the record business, and how their bond as twins kept them going. They also share incredible stories about Prince complimenting their style, Henry Rollins becoming an unlikely ally, and how a James Gunn connection landed their music on the DC’s Peacemaker on HBOMax. Plus, they dive deep into their new book, What Happened To Your Hair, a brutally honest, funny, and emotional look at fame, family, tragedy, and resilience, and why now was finally the time to tell their story in their own words.
