The debut episode of In The Studio with BT kicks off in a big way as BT sits down face-to-face at 304 Studios in Jonesboro, Arkansas with one of the most authentic voices in modern Memphis wrestling: Mike Anthony From growing up in Chicago watching WWF Superstars and Saturday Night’s Main Event… to discovering wrestling through magazines like Pro Wrestling Illustrated… to thinking you could just “apply at WWE like McDonald’s”… Mike walks us through the real journey that turned a lifelong fan into a seasoned professional. In this candid, no-script, call-it-in-the-ring conversation, you’ll hear: 🔥 Growing up between Chicago and Atlanta during the WWF vs. WCW era 🔥 Seeing Macho Man & Hogan vs. Sting & Luger live during WCW’s hottest period 🔥 Training under Rodney Mack & Jazz, and the brutal pre-show drills that built real pros 🔥 The difference between gym cardio and wrestling cardio 🔥 Learning psychology instead of just “move, move, move” 🔥 The long Texas drives as part of the OMGs tag team 🔥 Working under Teddy Long’s mentorship in SWE 🔥 The business lessons you don’t learn in the ring 🔥 Being there from Day One of Memphis Wrestling’s revival 🔥 Why reliability and availability matter more than flashy moves Mike opens up about the mental side of wrestling, the politics, the trust factor in locker rooms, and why Memphis Wrestling felt like the right place to invest long-term. There’s real insight here about paying your dues, evolving with the business, and understanding that sometimes your “pay” isn’t money, it’s knowledge and you can’t put a price on that. This is wrestling talk the way it’s meant to be: honest, layered, and completely authentic.
