Episode 27: Sean Oliver of Kayfabe Commentaries

Not About Wrestling

This week on Not About Wrestling, we’re joined by author, actor, and wrestling shoot interview host, Sean Oliver. During Sean’s introduction, Chris jokes that he’s the “godfather of the wrestling shoot interview” but it’s hard to argue the title. In fact, Sean’s production company and wrestling shoot interviews were a huge influence on Chris starting this very podcast. For close to a decade, Sean has sat down with some of the biggest names in professional wrestling for wrestling interviews that were ahead of their time. In our interview, Sean recalls the original concept behind Kayfabe Commentaries, his very first interview with Kevin Sullivan, interviewing wrestling legend Gary Hart the day before his death, having Jake Roberts walk out of an interview before it even began, and how Sean’s kind gesture to Buff Bagwell resulted in the wrestler threatening to knock Sean’s teeth out the next time the two crossed paths. Plus, Stephanie and Chris discuss the awful music at the gym, Steph lies about how she’s actually feeling, and the official dog of Not About Wrestling, Kopi, joins the show with a perfectly timed wacky horn. Ladies and gentlemen, entering the podcast, from West New York, New Jersey, this is Sean Oliver. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/not-about-wrestling/support
