Jake “The Snake” Roberts

In one of the most intense and enjoyable interviews in the history of the show, Jake “The Snake” Roberts bared all in an exclusive talk with the boys of Ring Rust Radio.
Question on Everybody's Mind: How is Jake the Snake doing today?
After facing the toughest demons a man could face in his life, Roberts has used his previous battles to help clean up his life and get on the right path. With great stories about his life in and out of the ring, the WWE legend tells the world how and why he is the way he is.
Ring Rust Radio's Take
There is no doubt that Roberts was one of the greatest heels in wrestling history, but his dark past has led many fans to question his legacy. After speaking with the veteran, his life outside the ring cannot change the way we view his in-ring work.

ECW Documentary Director John Philapavage

As Extreme Rising starts to gain momentum in Philadelphia, the original ECW’s influence is still being felt throughout the wrestling world. With the desire for more old-school wrestling as high as it has ever been, the new unauthorized ECW documentary from director John Philapavage is exactly what fans want.
Question on Everybody's Mind: How does the new Extreme Rising compare to the original ECW?
While there are still many more shows needed to be on the same level as ECW, the sentiment and support is there. Anywhere there is or was a strong desire for hardcore independent wrestling, a company like Extreme Rising will thrive.
Ring Rust Radio's Take
Philapavage comes off as a fan first that is looking to pay homage to the company that made wrestling great through one of the greatest periods in wrestling history. While some fans are over ECW, there is a hardcore following that can never get enough. Help support the cause.

WWE, TNA and General Wrestling Tidbits

As much as TNA and WWE brought us a big helping of wrestling this week, a few key points topped the discussion for the boys of Ring Rust Radio; CM Punk’s newfound alliance with Paul Heyman and the culmination of the BFG Series.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Do you love Punk’s alliance with Heyman?
All wrestling fans know the worth of Punk to the WWE, but the power Heyman wields is underestimated. Put him around a stable full of young, heel talent and let them be led by Punk and you have an amazing stable.
Ring Rust Radio's Take
Whether fans realize it or not, the Punk title run and the Austin Aries title reign could be the start of the next boom period in wrestling. I know I care more about wrestling now than at any time over the last three years, do you?
