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.

In 1997 a group of young men in the Carolinas set out to establish a promotion that would be "the next big step in the evolution of professional wrestling," bringing together American style, Japanese strong style and Mexican lucha libre. The promotion was called OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts). What began as a group of friends wanting to wrestle by their rules ended as being one of the most inspirational stories in wrestling history.

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.

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.

You work hard, in the ring, in the gym, tryouts, camps.... and then you get signed. Finally offered a Developmental Contract, but then what happens? Brian Myers sits down with Colt Cabana, Tommaso Ciampa and Chris Hero to discuss their different paths to get to the big time. The hurdles they faced, the ridiculous extra spots, drunken promises from "talent relations". For nearly two hours this foursome talk about any and everything developmental from the training regimen, to the infamous former head trainer, and all the different incarnations of the developmental system that led to what we have today. Developmentally Speaking with Brian Myers is the most in depth look at the developmental system, EVER! This is the best shoot you'll see all year, grab your copy today!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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

The "Prince of Queens" Brian Myers is back with a brand new panel for another edition of Developmentally Speaking. "Too Cocky" Kevin Matthews, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, and "The Callihan Death Machine" Sami Callihan all sit down and weigh in on their respective times in developmental. They swap stories about extra work, getting signed, and the craziness that ensued trying to "make it". Sami opens up about his time at the performance center and they all share some crazy stories about a certain trainer. Sit back and enjoy another episode of Developmentally Speaking w/ Brian Myers.

After an amazing WrestleCon weekend, your host Brian Myers, gathered a diverse cast of characters for another edition of Developmentally Speaking. The trio of Bull James, Rob Naylor, and Matt Sydal crammed onto a small couch and talked into the wee hours of the morning about their respective experiences breaking into the biz and making their way in the developmental system. 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.

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!

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.

We apologize in advance of you viewing this show because they talk about some pretty weird S#!t on this inaugural episode of "Sorry You're Watching This" hosted by Dan Barry. Yeah we couldn't find anyone else at the moment to host this show so Dan was hanging out and we needed someone. Again we apologize. Either way it's a really great show featuring two of the best wrestlers in the world, Solo Darling and Viper. It's just three gals...I mean two gals and Dan talking about wrestling and haggis. Trust us... you might enjoy it!

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.

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 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.

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!
