Bix Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Loser Leaves Town Podcast 9/21/09 - Live at Lucha Va Voom w/ T.J. Perkins and Cassandro! Recorded last night at Lucha Va Voom's successful New York debut, it's the Loser Leaves Town Podcast. First I'm joined by T.J. Perkins (AKA Pinoy Boy/Puma/Cobra II, currently El Bombero in Lucha Va Voom) to discuss his travels around the world as a 25 year-old who's a 10 year veteran. Lots of great stuff about going to New Japan and the LA Dojo including wrestling in the Tokyo Dome, the MMA training that led to him actually having fights, becoming Cobra II while being tempted with promises of maybe eventually being Tiger Mask V, and much more. After that is Cassandro, the top exotico in wrestling today. A 21 year veteran, he talks about his pre-wrestling career as a medical assistant, being trained by Rey Misterio Sr. in the class that included the original Psicosis/Nicho and a very young Rey Mysterio (Jr.), wrestling in Juarez and El Paso, being a gay man in the wrestling business in Mexico, how Antonio Peña helped him and others, his current travels around the world (including wrestling El Hijo del Santo at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France!), and more. ------------------- More later when I do my writeup, but it was a tremendously fun show with 2 terrifying balcony dives in the main event.
Dylan Waco Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 These are good shows Bix. Obviously there were sound issues here because you had the setup for the show going on around you, but I think you are getting stronger as an interviewer. I hope you'll keep up with these. A couple a month would be a nice habit to form.
El-P Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 his current travels around the world (including wrestling El Hijo del Santo at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France!), and more. I kinda regret not moving my ass and go see this. Not enough of a lucha fan I guess, but still. Plus the setting was totally awesome, I mean, El Hijo del Santo at the freaking Caroussel du Louvre (which is under the Louvre Museum).
Eduardo Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Really enjoyable show. Bix, you accidentally linked to the podcast and not to the report.
