GENTLEMAN'S CHOICE is the story of a truly nice guy who became a total jerk when he was drinking. When the STEROID GHB was added to the mix he became truly dangerous. A trained architect and judo competition winner from England, and a man with strong will and ambition, Chris Adams sought fame and fortune in America. He achieved it as a professional wrestler in the mid-1980 s as Gentleman Chris Adams. At the peak of his career, he was performing in front of tens of thousands in stadiums and arenas with wrestling legends including Kerry and Kevin Von Erich. Adams submitted to the temptations that accompany fame and fortune. As soon as things were starting to go really well, other things started to go seriously wrong. He got involved with the wrong crowd, accidentally killed a girlfriend, assaulted men and women, spent time in prison, and ultimately perished at the hands of his best friend.

Sorry! Dan is back and joined as always with Josh Barnett and Jonathan Gresham. We apologize and we sincerely hope you accept our apology. Again all we can say is, SORRY!

On this episode of The Kevin Steen Show, be prepared to get blasted with PMA (positive mental attitude) across your head, hitting you as hard as a King of the Death Match Tournament light bulb. Whether you are a fan of his death matches from IWA Mid South and Combat Zone Wrestling, or you're a PWG fan who loves this underdog's amazing story, this interview covers it all. We discuss all the major points in Drake's career and you will get to see those moments that have made Drake one of the top independent wrestlers in the world today. Find out why he said goodbye to a life of death matches and hello to a West Coast PMA At certain times during this interview, Drake's positivity is almost too much for himself to handle. Maybe not as contagious as malaria or as bad as malaria, but you will be smiling when this edition of The Kevin Steen Show with Drake Younger is over, and probably chanting DRAKE DRAKE DRAKE DRAKE

This edition features the one of a kind "Big LG" Doc Gallows, "Campus Legend" Brad Attitude and "Agent T" the artist formally known as Camacho. This edition is full of crazy stories, insane antics and deep insight into the signing process and developmental territories. Doc shares stories of trying out for Tough Enough and his little "dickie doo" making an appearance while a certain infamous trainer screamed at him, his glory days in OVW, the intense training and everybody's favorite Dhalib (The Great Khali) Duty. Brad Attitude tells his heartfelt story of finally getting signed after doing years of extra work and the heartbreak that followed. T talks about growing up the son of Haku, and him and his brother (Tama Tonga) struggling to get a break in the business. All in all, this edition is full of fun tales, behind the scenes chicanery, and some really powerful heartfelt moments, so raise a toast to developmental and enjoy!

Every time Davey Richards sits down in front of a Highspots.com camera, there is usually a follow up phone call from his current management cringing from its aftermath. The good news is we expect nothing different this time around. Our original sit down with Kevin and Davey (known then as VERSUS) actually gave birth to the Kevin Steen show. Just when you thought everything was all warm and fuzzy with the American Wolf, he somehow has managed to ruffle old feathers once again. From the NXT try outs, outspoken opinions about ROH that made even Kevin Steen uneasy, to his very recent TNA Wrestling debut, Davey has a lot of explaining to do!

Normally when a guest on The Kevin Steen Show sees the Kane Mask on set, it is always a great ice breaker, and Nigel McGuinness is no exception. Unlike all the other guests, the sight of the Kane Mask brings up a extremely low point in Nigel's life were he was forced to dress up like Kane himself on a tour in England. Somehow this story didn't make the cut on Nigel's great documentary, "The Last of McGuinness". Speaking of Nigel's documentary, Kevin digs even further into Nigel's thought process behind the project and some of the powerful issues that it brought up. Kevin even does some personal inventory of his own about his feelings on success and failure. Luckily for these searching souls, this episode was filmed on a couch that may or may not have been in a psychiatrist's office before it landed in Nigel's swank LA apartment. Anyways, we hope you are ready watch Steen dig deep into Nigel's psyche of our "mate" and yours, Nigel McGuinness on The Kevin Steen Show. Cheers!

This edition of The Kevin Steen Show features Chuck Taylor, the wrestler, not the salesman. Chuck is known as the leader of the "Gentleman's Club" even though he has kicked multiple girls in the face, capo kicked a PWG fan, and had 2 knives pulled on him in one incident. One of our goals for this interview was to dig into his "awkward relationship" with Ricochet. He claims they never banged, but we are going to get to the bottom of it one way or another. Chuck Taylor may tell you this is a subpar episode of the Kevin Steen Show, but don't listen to him. It's a lot like a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman Bourbon, top-shelf.

Sometimes on the Kevin Steen Show we get a chance to shine a light on how remarkable a person is outside the ring and this is one of those times. To a lot of people Rich Swann is the "flippy flippy guy" from DGUSA and PWG, but his athletic talent is just the tip of the iceberg. As a teenager, Rich found himself living by himself in the ghettos of Baltimore. Instead of making excuses, Rich looked for solutions and found one in Pro Wrestling. In a short period of time, Rich Swann became regarded as one of the best high flyers on the indy scene despite his legit fear of heights. Eventually, Rich got to travel to Japan and make a name for himself both in wrestling and singing in the streets of Kobe. Speaking of music, we also have a very special bonus on this edition of the Kevin Steen Show. We hunt down a guitar and we let Rich play a few diddys for us including the CZW theme. I know we say it a lot, but we mean it this time, this is a must see episode of the Kevin Steen Show.

The Kevin Steen Show is back and so is the Kane mask. Kevin sits down with ROH Superstar & Monster Energy drink fanatic, Eddie Edwards. This episode of The Kevin Steen Show was filmed right before Eddie got on a plane for a tour of Mexico. We felt like it would be a good idea to get him on camera before we left just in case he got kidnapped by the drug cartel in Mexico. Luckily Eddie made it back home safely. So, in this non-memorial edition of The Kevin Steen Show Eddie talks about his life as a fat kid, his sweet dreads, being a young boy for Pro Wrestling NOAH and how hard it really is to catch a flight after drinking all night. Also, did we mention that we talked about Eddie's sweet dreads? Well, sit back pop open a Monster Energy Drink or beer and enjoy The Kevin Steen Show with Eddie Edwards.

Happy Birthday PWG!!! For the small percentage of the wrestling world who have no souls and hate PWG love fests, we are doing an entire Kevin Steen show about PWG just to stick it to those miserable bastards. Just kidding, we are doing it because PWG is awesome. Who is better to talk to just a few hours before PWG's tenth birthday party than Excalibur, one of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's founding fathers and literally the voice of the company? For some bonus footage, we take The Kevin Steen Show cameras to American Legion Post #308 in Reseda, CA and talk with some of the incredible PWG fans minutes before the doors open at PWG TEN.

If you would have told a 15 year old Kevin Steen that one day he would wrestle Matt Hardy, he may not have believed you. So, lets just call this the Surreal Edition of The Kevin Steen Show because sitting across from Kevin is none other than Matt Hardy himself. Matt is one of the most polarizing figures in pro wrestling today. Some people are huge Hardy fans and some of the "smart" fans hates everything he stands for in wrestling. Kevin explores this strange dichotomy throughout the interview and its seems to be one of the recurring themes. It's also the first time Matt Hardy has opened up, on camera, since his recent battle with personal demons.

This interview starts off with Kyle pouring an energy drink into a Goldberg coffee mug. So, needless to say, things start off pretty intense. Kevin sits down with Kyle O' Reilly who has been on an absolute tear in PWG and ROH. Kevin is sure to cover all the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla stories, that place where all the best wrestling in the world happens, as well as all the other career highlights that Kyle has had such as signing with ROH, teaming with Adam Cole, being sleazy with Davey and being one half of reDRagon

Happy Birthday PWG!!! For the small percentage of the wrestling world who have no souls and hate PWG love fests, we are doing an entire Kevin Steen show about PWG just to stick it to those miserable bastards. Just kidding, we are doing it because PWG is awesome. Following the epic TEN show, we sit down with The Intrepid Traveler himself, Paul London. We were a little rushed on time because Paul had to catch a plane to the Juggalo Gathering (I'm pretty sure he meant spaceship because the conversation Steen had with him was out of this world), but what he left us with was pure Paul London gold. Lets just say you will never look at bacon the same way ever again. Finally, the viewers of this Kevin Steen Show will also get to see the post show, in ring celebration, at the conclusion of PWG Ten where everybody is ready to dance!

The Kevin Steen Show is pleased to announce that we finally sat down with the "Master of Lucharesu", Johnny Gargano. In this interview, we learn about his debut at the tender young age of 8 as one third of the six man trio known as The Men in Black. Although they never reached the heights of the Fabulous Freebirds, they were close in their own mind. We also talk about his time as the Champion of Liechtenstein, the country where people dress like elves. Of course, we talk about the smaller stuff like his 873 day reign as Open the Freedom Gate Champion, going to Japan and his current run in PWG. You know the other stuff. All joking aside, Johnny talks about a moment were a handicap almost ended his career. In a very serious Steen Show moment, Johnny talks about his near signing with TNA Wrestling to be a Twilight Vampire.

Each offered their unique experiences and spoke from the heart about their journey into the fed. Don't miss this enlightening edition of Developmentally Speaking w/ Brian Myers.

Well it's time to say goodbye and get a real job working at the GAP. Kevin is moving to Florida for some odd reason and said he couldn't do the Kevin Steen Show anymore. What better way to go out then having as guests the tag team that has sold more t-shirts than anyone else in the history of indy wrestling, The Young Bucks. From Matt Rushmore to the Bullet Club, Matt and Nick talk about being in the two most over factions in pro wrestling today. Also, find out why they call Nick the "Indytaker" and why you won't see the Young Bucks in DGUSA any time soon. Spoiler Alert: it's the same reason. It's appropriate that the Young Bucks were Kevin's first guests nearly two years ago on the Tag Team Edition and also his last guests in his swan song . So, sit back and enjoy as we ride off into the same sunset.
