Playlist for Death Before Dishonor XV

It was once again a great thrill to call a Ring of Honor Pay Per View with my partner Colt Cabana. We had a lot of fun calling the great action including Minoru Suzuki’s first match in the United States in 25 years. You can catch the replay HERE. Music is always such a big…

What I’m Jamming To: L.A. Girlz

The way he navigates the guitar makes him perhaps the penultimate 70’s power pop guitarist. After the Raspberries dissolved, Bryson teamed up…
