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!
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.
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.

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 world of wrestling has been ruled by many backstage cliques such as The Kliq and... The Kliq. Look out wrestling promoters, there is a new band of brothers that are looking to run rough shot all over your promotion, and their name is The Uncut Connection. They are making their intentions known loud and clear on this very special edition of The Kevin Steen Show. Jimmy Jacobs starts things off by talking about elbow dropping people's gear bags through a table, collecting alcoholic drinks from fans, and a concept that has been floating around the ROH locker room for years known as, "New Guy Heat".
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.
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.
Sorry! Dan is back and is joined as always by Brody King and Jeff Cobb. We keep apologizing for this show and we really do mean it. Someday this may or may not get cancelled. So if you sit through this…SORRY!
