Gregory Iron sits down and spends Thanksgiving Eve with one of the most controversial wrestling personalities -- The N****taker!
Many pro wrestling fans learned of "The Man From The Dark Side of The Ghetto" from an independent wrestling flyer that went viral in December of 2015, but no one has explored the mind behind this supposed deadman.. until now!
N****taker talks candidly with Greg about his debut in the Cleveland Wrestling Alliance with manager Cracker Bearer, what famous pay-per-view appearance N****taker compares his debut with, making a caucasian ring announcer feel uncomfortable about saying his controversial moniker aloud, getting his start in pro wrestling back in the mid-90's, his favorite version of The Undertaker, his alter-ego of Michael McMahon -- illegitimate son of Vince -- the controversial slur that he said to Carlito's face about his father Carlos Colon, why he believes he would fit in with AEW, the evolution of The N****taker look, investing in his custom mask and costume, how a muscle disorder allows him to wrestle just like The Undertaker, being billed on "PG Shows" as "Soul Taker," contemplating making "N****taker" merchandise, discovering that there was ANOTHER N****TAKER that existed before him in New York/New Jersey, how he reacted when the original N****taker passed away and how people DM'ed him thinking he was dead, if he would have formed an alliance with the original N****taker, who would have won in a match between the two N****takers, and what inspires him to continue building a legacy for The N****taker.
Before the interview, The Gym Nasty Boys do a special intro for this special holiday edition of the podcast, and Greg and Aaron talk turkey as Aaron shares a story about a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner he had at Denny's with Sabu, Rob Van Dam, Tracy Smothers and of course, Howard "Animal Steele."
After the interview, Greg and Aaron do an extended outro so that they can fully unpack what they just listened to in the N****taker interview, including the fact that there were TWO DIFFERENT AND COMPLETELY UNRELATED N****TAKERS. Greg discusses the research he did to find out more information on the life and death of the original N****taker from the early 2000s, the OG N****taker's most infamous matches -- which included a low budget casket match -- N****taker's stint in WWE developmental promotion FCW, and how he ultimately passed away in 2018.
