Crazy Steve says he was blind at birth, had surgery, and still became a pro wrestler after training at Eric Young’s WrestlePlex.

1. In My House Pro Wrestling Podcast Episode 160 focuses on Reaper Wrestling backstage with Aaron and Crazy Steve ahead of Season 2 in April. 2. Scotty Villa, Monday Night Mike, and UK Tom host Aaron from Reaper Wrestling and Crazy Steve of TNA and NWA fame. 3. The episode asks what Season 2 of Reaper Wrestling will look like and why Moose Jaw matters as the promotion grows. 4. Aaron says ticket sales are “way above schedule” and that the first show may be a sellout. 5. The hosts point listeners to the Reaper Wrestling YouTube page, where season one shows and the documentary are already posted. 6. Crazy Steve revisits his Monster’s Ball match with Thelonious, including the mystery box, the “cursed magic mittens,” and the hard landing through a door onto concrete. 7. He says the match left him thinking he might have broken ribs even though he came out the victor. 8. Steve describes backstage at a Reaper show as stressful because he is both part of the roster and helping run the event. 9. Aaron says season one had two segments where audio failed, including the first segment of the first show and a cutout before Thelonious’ entrance. 10. He says the roster was strong and that the timing of winter weather and flights made another season one show too risky financially. 11. Steve explains that he has been in professional wrestling for 23 years and that he started training at Eric Young’s WrestlePlex in Cambridge, Ontario. 12. He says his mother first put wrestling on TV for him when he was very young and that he was blind when he was born. 13. Steve says travel is a major issue in wrestling for him because he cannot drive, which makes shows like Moose Jaw harder to manage. 14. Aaron says many wrestlers know where Moose Jaw is, but travel time and flight delays are the real challenge. 15. Aaron and Steve say the brand is already drawing interest from wrestlers, and Aaron mentions Frankie Kazarian as an example of the travel involved. 16. Aaron says Reaper Wrestling’s online audience matters more than ticket sales because the promotion does not make money off the live shows alone. 17. Steve says the pit felt like a “shit hole” at first, but Aaron’s work transformed it into a venue with a distinct vibe. 18. Aaron says the goal is to make every show feel different from a local hall or gymnasium while still improving production with lighting rigs. 19. People who like indie wrestling, backstage logistics, and wrestler origin stories should listen. 20. People wanting a scripted storyline recap or a short, action-only wrestling clip may skip it.

As heard by us

A grounded look at wrestling logistics, travel headaches, and growing momentum.

Backstage at Reaper Wrestling reads as a plainspoken look at the work behind the shows: long travel days, tight turnarounds, and the hassle of getting talent in and out of Moose Jaw.
