    Bustah & The Brain aka Alec Price & Jordan Oliver
    Feb 12 2026
    Alec Price and Jordan Oliver are officially All Elite after MJF shocked the wrestling world at Limitless Wrestling by announcing it in the ring following Alec’s AEW World Title match. They break down that surreal moment, the energy inside the building, and what it felt like hearing “All Elite” after a decade of grinding. Then it was straight into the deep end with a huge AEW Dynamite debut against Tag Team Champs, FTR. Alec and Jordan share what it was like finding out via a Tony Khan tweet, what they learned from Dax and Cash, and how that Orlando crowd went from “who are these guys?” to believing they could pull it off. Plus, Jordan’s ACL injury & rehab, the GCW mentality, being mentored by Nick Gage, becoming Bustah & The Brain, and mixing it up with the Don Callis Family’s Davis & Doyle in AEW TV match #2!

    Timeless Toni Storm’s Butler, Luther!
    Feb 5 2026
    Luther returns for the first time since 2021 to explain how he became Timeless Toni Storm’s butler, what inspired the black-and-white aesthetic of the character, and why the movie, Sunset Boulevard, became required homework. He breaks down what it’s like balancing comedy, character work, and physical involvement in Toni’s biggest matches, including the All In Texas moment that led to his very real “reattachment surgery,” and the not-so-subtle signal he recently gave Orange Cassidy for getting too close to Toni! Luther also talks about his backstage role as an AEW coach and producer, and working with younger talent. Plus, he dives into his longtime obsession with ghosts, cryptids, and the unexplained, and shares some of his own truly wild paranormal encounters.
