The CCD Podcast: Episode #110 - Capitol Wrestling: Classic Wrestling, for the Modern Age

Hello to all, and to all Hello... welcome to another adventure on the CCD Podcast. We make no excuses for our unbridled LOVE for all things Professional Wrestling around here, so since we are reeling from the latest installment of the Royal Rumble we figured we needed to have a WRESTLING ONLY episode! Jedi Rob welcomes Matt Ryan (the proprietor of the Capitol Wrestling promotion) and Steve Resk (owner of the SRG Universe) to the CCD Nerd Cave to chop it up about all things wrestling... the current state of the WWE, the fallout from this years Royal Rumble, independent wrestling and how it is surviving in this day & age, and much more! So if you are a big fan of anything that takes place in the squared circle... well, this is the episode for YOU!!!

The CCD Podcast: Episode #104 - The Future of Wrestling is.....Goldberg?

We have been doing these podcasts for awhile, but every once and again a certain topic brings us back to our teen age years for a sec and clouds our judgement completely. A few weeks back Goldberg defeated Brock Lesner and all of the sudden we were 12 all over again... Joe Armao and Steve Resk join Rob Martin in the CCD Nerd Cave to discuss the future of Wrestling and what we can expect in the next few months! 

The CCD Podcast: Episode #100 - Is Wrestling Popular Again?

We  tackle many pop culture topics here at CCD, but one that we tend to champion is Wrestling. Some of the greatest pop culture moments of the 80s & 90s happened in the squared circle... and for a while it seemed as if those moments would never again reach the heights they once did. Would this next generation of talented ring performers like Zack Ryder & Finn Balor ever reach the wildly popularity of Macho Man and Ricky Steamboat? Hmmmm..... yet it seems the "sport" of wrestling has seen quite an epic resurgence in the past year or so. Is it because the product is back to what it used to be... or is it because more of the old school fans are making their way back as they become parents and their kids start watching? All of these are part of the reason, but whatever you think the ultimate answer is simple: WRESTLING IS BACK!!!!

Jedi Rob sits down with CCD's wrestling experts, super fan Joey Armao and founder of the SRG Universe Steve Resk to talk about the current resurgence wrestling is experiencing. A perfect way to celebrate episode #100...

The CCD Podcast: Episode #85 - Exclusive Interview With Steve Resk About His 'SuperShow: The Game' Kickstarter

So CCD.NYC is back from our holiday vacation and we are back to kick off year number 3 of the CCD Podcast! What better way to start off another great year of content than to welcome back our old friend Steve Resk of SRG Universe to discuss his newest project. Steve and the SRG gang are about to unleash a second set of their popular Unpredictable Card Game 'The Supershow'... and if their success with the first edition is any indication, this expansion set is going to be AWESOME!!!! Steve takes some time to come down into the CCD Nerd Cave and chop it up with Jedi Rob, talking about a variety of topics ranging from the history of the 'Supershow' game to the new Kickstarter Campaign they are running to fund it.

The Supershow: Set 2 - The Backlash is going to be awesome... and once again CCD is lucky enough to offer you a sneak peak! Get in there....

The Magic of Foley by Steve Resk

Wrestling has many famous faces, and one of those famous faces...has several faces of his own! Our Good friend Steve Resk of SRG Universe recently had the chance to get some face(s) time with one of the all time greats...

In a time right now where all the wrestling hype seems to be about the legacy of the Undertaker, we can't forget about the man who in my opinion put the Undertaker over. In the dance that is professional wrestling it takes two to tango. When you look back at the great of the attitude era, The Rock, Stone Cold, and Triple H we see a consistent counterpart in Foley. His incredible and sometimes death defying feats, (which none of us will ever forget) make Foley the true immortal of the WWE. This is a man who literally sacrificed part of his body for the industry. But the Sacrificing doesn't stop there.

The CCD Podcast: Episode #78 - 25 Years of The Undertaker or 'All Hail The Dead Man..."

Thinking back on all the wrestlers that have come and gone through the years, there are very few that have had the impact that Undertaker has had. Over his 25 year career he has been one of the most dominant forces in the WWF/E and people who root for good guys AND bad guys alike love the big dead bastard. With the 2015 Survivor Series on the horizon (he made his premiere at the 1990 Survivor Series), we decided to enlist some heavy hitters in the wrestling world to celebrate the career of such an icon. Jedi Rob is joined by Steve Resk, founder of the first unpredictable card game The Supershow & wrestler Eric Draven, the definition of Authority & Sexiness in the CCD Nerd Cave and make podcast magic! All hail the Dead Man...

The CCD Podcast: Episode #52 - Wrestlers in the Movies or "What Do You Mean You Haven't Seen "The Marine Part 7"? What Are You Waiting For?"

Wrestling played a huge role in most nerds lives back in the 70s/80s/90s and is still really popular today. The WWF/WWE, WCW, NWA, ECW and other organizations all gave us some memorable characters to cheer and jeer over the years. But some of those performers were lucky enough to expand their careers beyond the squared circle and branch out into acting... well, lets just say that they were in some movies (not much ACTING really taking place in most of these roles!). Some are no brainers, like Hulk Hogan in Rocky 3 or Jesse Ventura in Predator. But what about some of the others through the years? Check out wrestling fanatics Jedi Rob, Joey Esq, and The Supershow creator Steve Resk as they go through some of the best (or worst?) roles that wrestlers filled through the years!
