Interview with Chris Masters/Adonis - FROM THE VAULT!

March 25, 2026·43 min·3 clips

Chris Masters reveals he ran a wrestling hotline called 'Two Sexy Todd Christopher' after the 1997 Montreal Screwjob.

Recording starts already crooked. The guys admit they lost two minutes before the mics caught up, then pull Chris Adonis, Chris Masters, into the room like the toy hunt had already started without everybody else. The hotline bit comes first. Chris remembers that late-nineties hunger for wrestling news after the screw job, when random phone lines felt like a secret door into the business. Two Sexy Todd Christopher gets tossed in too. Nobody tries to smooth it out, which is the charm. It has that basement-table rhythm where half a memory is enough to send everyone somewhere else. Then the conversation moves backstage. Chris talks about how different wrestling culture feels now, especially with younger wrestlers asking veterans for photos in ways that once would have sounded impossible. The hosts catch the change right away. The old shame around being seen as a fan has loosened, even if the photo requests can get a little much. Chris keeps it sweet. He likes that people can just admit they love wrestling now, because hiding it never made much sense to him. The pandemic nostalgia is where it really clicks. Watching older wrestling in that stretch helped him find the version of himself that fell for it in the first place. Hogan and wrestling at six still matter. He keeps a giant poster around so the kid part does not get buried under the job part. When favorite fan year comes up, the 1997 answer lands fast. WWF, WCW, ECW, all of it. Figures creep back in, because of course they do. That year was not just watching. It was playing, building, booking the whole kid-brain universe. By the end, the guys are pitching what Chris needs next: maybe a micro brawler, maybe a Hasbro-style guy, maybe the vest gear. He plugs Instagram as Chris Masters 310 and Twitter as Chris Adonis. The hosts close on the newer look, the hair, and the full turn into Chris Masters.
