TMPT of Wrestling Interviews, Shoots, and Podcasts
Hosted by Hulk Hogan
A veteran wrestling historian gets pro wrestlers to share the unfiltered, behind-the-scenes stories of their careers, focusing on controversies and correcting rumors.
This is a classic "shoot interview" style podcast where host John Poz gets wrestlers, particularly from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, to recount their careers in granular detail. Episodes often function as oral histories, focused on debunking rumors, clarifying contract disputes, and settling old scores from the wrestler's unique perspective.
“Unlike broader wrestling news shows, TMPT focuses almost exclusively on long-form, single-guest interviews about the past. Poz's deep knowledge of wrestling history allows him to zero in on specific, often controversial, moments that other interviewers might miss.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Poz often begins by establishing the guest's current activities before diving into their history. He frequently introduces a topic by referencing "different stories" or rumors he's heard, asking the guest to set the record straight. He uses information from other wrestling media and his own extensive knowledge to probe sensitive topics, such as a wrestler's relationship with a promoter or their reaction to a public criticism. He'll ask direct questions about finances ("Were you happy with the contract?") and mindset ("Were you thinking you should be doing more?"). Poz is a patient interviewer, allowing guests to tell their story in long monologues and using short follow-ups to clarify key details rather than interrupting the flow.
Poz acts as a knowledgeable historian, setting the scene for a guest's story with detailed context from their career. He often lets guests speak for long stretches uninterrupted before jumping in with a clarifying question or a prompt based on a known rumor. The show is audio-focused, typically presented on YouTube with a static image.
