Episode 27 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition - this week joined by my 'brother from another mother'' & former Tag-Team partner, Josh Haze. We're talking the fabulous Black Tiger vs Dean Malenko match, the all-time great Eddie vs Dean rivalry & to be honest just a total love fest for all things Eddie Guerrero.

We also chat a little about originally getting started in the Brisbane Wrestling scene back in the day, some of our friends who have gone onto do great things & many nonsense sidebars including a great little back & forth on the magic of the mullet. Just a delightful time if I do say so myself! In my intro-monologue I discuss my recent Makers Market, my upcoming interstate forey for Lucha Fantastica Melbourne & an exciting upcoming Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" COMPETITION! How Exciting!

Enjoy!!

Episode 25; is here friends! So in lieu of guest-scheduling issues for our latest 'Match of the Week', I thought I'd just go ahead and do a solo 'mini-show' for you. This week was actually quite a momentous one for me. After a successful outing bringing my Chris Things art-swag along to Lucha Fantastica's Brisbane event, I've decided to expand my schedule & do my first ever interstate in-person art event for Lucha Fantastica's Sydney show this weekend! I talk all about this exciting development, some latest 'Way of the Blade' updates & the general wandering/meandering nonsense that you've come to expect.

Enjoy!!

Episode 24; is here pals! The latest in our "Wrestling Art Curator" special-edition interview series focusing on creatives in the 'Wrestling Art' space. This week I've got something a little different for you in the form of a chat with the esteemed creator of an amazing art installation/basement passion-project; Richard Beardsley of VIDEO PLANT!

@Video.Plant is a wacky, nostalgia-soaked walk down memory lane to the VHS stores of yesteryear. A ‘sanctuary’ for one of the most eclectic & amazingly, lovingly curated VHS collections (& all sorts of rad personally commissioned artworks & general ephemera) that I’ve been lucky enough to have my art become a part of. In this one we have a really fun chat about how this all came about, Pro Wrestling VHS collecting, art curation (& creation), a variety of wonderful B-Grade, schlocky cult classic goodness & the passion the melds all of this together.

In my intro monologue, I chat about my upcoming art-tabling at 'Lucha Fantastica' this weekend, & some exciting Way of the Blade updates!

Enjoy!!

Episode 21; is here pals! The latest in our "Wrestling Art Curator" special-edition interview series focusing on the art practices of rad wrestling-artists! I'm so darned stoked about this weeks' guest; Michigan-based artist, Lil Petey Puro / @Gotch_Style_Bong_Rips! A way-talented & unique fellow art-dude who's weird, wacky, retro skate vibes wrestling-art illustrations totally warm my heart.

We have a really fun little free-flowing chat here about many of our similar wrestling interests, Petey's wrestling-art journey over from the skate-art world, graffiti, our common love of Hunter S. Thompson/Ralph Steadman, developing a distinct artistic style & abandoning the chase for "being perfect". We also chat our common love for Eddie Kingston & just what it is that drives Petey to want to keep churning out his badass, unique blend of wrestling-art goodness. I think we both just had such a blast on this one.

In my intro monologue, I chat more about this past weeks' Brisbane Wrestling Art group show & my upcoming Artist Market event.

Enjoy!!

We talk all about this bloody great match along with much early 90s WCW nostalgia & all sorts of nonsense side-bars from Rick Rude's amazing selling of 'Atomic Drops', to the joys of mullet-moustachioed referees, to Sting/The Police musical recommendations. We also talk the AEW Reviolution PPV from Greensboro & the big retirement match of one of both of our favourites, the man called Sting.

Episode 19 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition with returning guest host, my dear friend, Jon Craft to discuss a 'Mask vs Mask' apuestas match that I absolutely LOVED; Blue Panther vs Villano V! This wonderfully heated Lucha Libre FIGHT of a match took place back in 2008 at CMLL's 75th Anniversary Show in the holy grounds for lucha that is Arena Mexico. We chat all about this great match & Jon even provides translations of the touchingly emotional post-match unmasking ceremony. We also talk the general nonsense that has come to be expected. From the latest on the Chicago indue wrestling scene, a disagreement on the ethics of deep-dish pizza & the upcoming retirement of one of both of our favourites, the man called STING! Enjoy!!

I'm truly delighted about this weeks' guest; IQWrestler! A truly talented video-artist who creates some of the absolutely greatest Wrestling Highlight videos that I have ever seen!

A really fun chat is had, talking many of our shared wrestling-nerd passions, nostalgia, similarities between wrestling video art and visual art/illustration & much more (including some first-time ever SCOOPS!). We discuss how the art medium of wrestling highlight videos has developed over the years, the evolution & proliferation of unique styles, inspirations & exactly what it is that drives IQWrestler to pursue his art with such an undeniable level of love and passion. I loved this so much!!

Enjoy!!

Episode 16 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition with Cousin Ben talking all about the fantastic professional wrestling bout that was "Mr IWGP" Yuji Nagata vs "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson from AEW Collision on 1.27.2024 in Bossier City, Louisiana. We talk all about the timeless magic that was two of our very favourites in a Fire Pro Dream-Match for the ages, as well as the general greatness of Danielson of late. For your Chris Things intro monologue I talk a bit about the challenges of talking about your art & touting your successes. Which sometimes isn't as easy as you'd think. As well as the magic of Lucha Underground & my latest Way of the Blade illustration highlight that was the Fenix vs Mil Muertes "Grave Consequences" Casket Match. Enjoy!!

Yes, this week we've got TWO MOTW's to talk about since we missed one last week.

Episode 10 is here my friends! We're back to our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Series with a brand new special guest co-host in my dear friend, Bradley! This week we're talking all about a VERY SPECIAL match that was Low-Ki vs. KENTA from ROH Final Battle 2005. A very fun episode; in addition to going in-depth on this fantastic match & my illustration, we talk all of the things. From our own Brisbane-based pro wrestling days, to our big-time nostalgic love for this era of Ring of Honor, the excitement of getting wrestling DVDs in the mail, 'There Will Be Blood' & all things in-between! Just a total geek-fest love shesh for a special time in professional wrestling & possibly the PERFECT match. A way-fun episode if I do say so myself. Enjoy!!

Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustration that we are talking about here!

Episode 9; is here! A very special episode; "Wrestling Art Curator" IS BACK! My special-edition interview series focusing on the art practices of other rad wrestling-artists! The 2nd ever guest artist being the ridiculously talented Jonathan McBurnie!! 

Funnily enough, yet another fellow Aussie, Jonathan is an artist, writer, cartoonist, curator & is the Director of the Rockhampton Museum of Art. Jonathan even curated an entire wrestling-art themed art show; ‘WrestleMANIA’ at the Rockhampton Museum of Art late last year. "The exhibition examined the enigmatic entertainment of professional wrestling in all its spectacle, psychology, and humour through the work of 20 contemporary artists across sculpture, painting, cartoons, and new media". We chat some amazing behind the scenes stories of this show (including a live-wrestling portion!), Jonathan's practice, what got him into 'Wrestling Art', what interests him about this sub-genre as well as who & what most inspires him to make it. A really fun philosophical chat about fine art, wrestling & all things in-between! Thank you so much Jonathan!!

“Professional wrestling is a strange beast. Not quite sport, not quite theatre, it exists in a grey area between forms as a sincere, misunderstood, and yet incredibly self-aware art form.”

Enjoy!!

Jump on Jonathan's website for a whole bunch of his awesome wrestling-art.
