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.

On this episode of "Developmentally Speaking" Bull James is back with two guests who offer a completely different view on the developmental system. Bull is joined by Kevin Thorn and Mike Bucci aka Nova and why do these two offer a such a unique look? Well Kevin was around when it all started back in OVW, Nova was in it and was in the office over the developmental system. Don't miss this episode as you get to learn about the early days of the system and what it was like hiring and firing wrestlers. Things certainly have changed over the years from the places they train to the wrestlers themselves. So sit back and enjoy Developmentally Speaking with Kevin Thorn and Mike Bucci.

In 1999, a young Paul London graduated high school and packed his bags for Pennsylvania so he could be trained by one of his heroes, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. BUT Shane suffered a injury and called off the camp so he could rehab his injury and so Paul's career went down a different path. Now for the first time Paul London finally meets his childhood hero and the Highspots TV cameras are there to catch this once in a lifetime meeting. Also, Paul walks us through the NWA Fanfest convention and runs into several other wrestling superstars such as Sunny, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Jimmy Snuka. Paul London at heart is a wrestling fan just like you and that's is why he wants to share this wonderful moment with his fellow fans of pro wrestling.

Brian's back with an all new installment of Developmentally Speaking. Filmed over a crazy Wrestelcon 2016 weekend, Brian sits down with Matt Striker, Shelton Benjamin, & Karlee Perez. This trio all took different paths to make it in the fed and each share heartfelt insight into the trials and triumphs of pursuing their dream.

Tomato? Tommaso? Same thing. The only difference is Tommaso packs one heck of a punch, just ask anyone who grew up with him. In this episode of The Kevin Steen Show we sit down with The Sicilian Psychopath, Tommaso Ciampa. We discuss everything from grade school fights with other kids, to middle school fights with other kids, to high school fights with other kids. All the important issues are covered with the man who is lovely nicknamed, Dumb Ass Tomato. When we finally get around to talking about wrestling, it starts very positive but turns sour very quickly. Tommaso quickly went from being on Smackdown with the Undertaker to hating life in OVW. The Art of Wrestling podcast covered the dark times that followed, but we get into the comeback that is now in full swing for Tommaso. The Sicilian Psychopath's interview on The Kevin Steen Show is one of our best because crazy people aren't so F'n boring.

Anytime Kevin Steen talks the wrestling fans listen and always want more. Well, Highspots.com has listen to those fans that demand more and that is why we are giving you, The Kevin Steen Show. We provide Kevin with a set and camera crew and the rest is up to him. Which could ended up being a legal nightmare for us but that's what we signed up for I guess. This debut episode is a perfect example of that. Kevin decided to have Michael Elgin on as his debut guest. Steen gets Elgin to talk about a wide variety topics from his conception in Mexico to his birth which ruined his moms chances to be in the movie "Over the Top" to wearing awful wrestling gear to golden showers. So yeah, Kevin is not your run of the mill interviewers. Also, making maybe a one off appearance as Kevin's co host is, Cheeseburger. Needless to say he is no Ed McMahon but he did challenge Elgin to an arm wrestling match. Any bets on who won?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

At 2:37 am to be exact, Kevin shares a conversation and a pizza with the Young Bucks. Several controversial topics are covered such as their obsession with Super Kicks and their relationship with PWG referee Rick Knox. Also, something about not shaking hands with someone is brought up. I can't remember... it was pretty late and pizza makes me sleepy.

The boys are back to "pop some dogs and talk some hogs" once again! On this edition Ricochet finds himself on the hot seat with two world class interviewers, Chuck Taylor and his best friend Trent? They pull no punches with hard hitting questions like, "wipe sitting or standing?" and "are you a morning cranker?" You know it's getting hot in that hotel room, shirts are coming off and the Rock will be tweeted. So pop a dog with Ricochet today! Topics include: Ahmed Johnson/Stone Cold's Tight Denim Shorts/Young Dustin & Trevor/Tweeting The Rock/Trent's Shitty Knee/Nubian Princesses/Hand Dogs/Homeboy Liger

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!

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.

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. So, sit back back and enjoy as we talk to the Master of Lucharesu, Champion of Liechtenstein, and Cleveland's Own, Johnny Gargano.

Does Kevin Steen have the best guests, or what? Chris Hero's welcome back to the Independent Scene includes an appearance on The Kevin Steen Show. There is no need for the Wikipedia print out on this interview, Kevin and Chris go way back to the dysfunctional days of CZW (which we love talking about) up to the wonderment and magic that is Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Before we get to all that, Kevin and Chris thoroughly discuss the "legends" of Quebec wrestling such as Green Phantom, Iceberg, Face of Death, Razor Revolution and the majestic, Lil Asshole. Oh yeah, Chris Hero also talks about his time as Kassius Ohno while in NXT and being one of the first groups of development talent to use the brand new Performance Center.

Kevin Steen busts out a new episode of "The Kevin Steen Show" with special guest, Jay Lethal! Ooooh yeeeaahh!! Wikipedia man was on point for this episode and he need to be because we had HUGE TV star Jay Lethal on The Kevin Steen Show. Kevin and special co-host, Zane Riley had a well informed conversation with Jay about his early years of his career in JAPW and Ring of Honor. Although, Wikipedia man forgot to mention Papa Lethal's unmeasurable hatred for Larry Zbyszko. The fun begins when Jay starts talking about his time in TNA and how his backstage impersonations became the thing that pushed his career forward. And in a Kevin Steen Show exclusive you get to hear Jay's impersonation of Kevin Nash. Who knows you may see The Lethal Diesel on your wrestling TV program sometime soon. So sit back and enjoy Kevin Steen Show fans and Wikipedia man because you got a lot to learn about Jay Lethal.
