This week on *Tag'mm and Bag'mm*, the Wild Card himself, *Arthur Aroyal*, rolls into the studio with his best friend, cameraman, chauffeur, occasional production guru, and apparently unpaid personal assistant
*Alex Gonzales*!

Arthur and Alex take us behind the curtain of their wrestling journey—from being friends since kindergarten to chasing their dreams in the wrestling business. Arthur opens up about training at the *Nightmare Factory*, learning from wrestling legends, surviving his first year in the ring, and why his philosophy is simple: *“Wild Card always wins.”*

Meanwhile, Alex explains how he went from studying film to filming wrestling, eventually turning his passion for production into a serious career goal. And apparently, his reward for supporting Arthur's wrestling dreams was becoming his personal driver. For free. Which, according to everyone in the room, is apparently very heelish.

But that's only the beginning.

Expect heated wrestling opinions, favorite wrestlers, Nightmare Factory stories, Arthur's ongoing obsession with surviving people who apparently REALLY enjoy beating him up, questionable refereeing, production mistakes, mysteriously misspelled names, potential six-man tag chaos, and enough trash talk to start several new wrestling feuds.

And yes... *Arthur may or may not be actively trying to get himself beaten up.*

From *Randy Orton and The Miz* to the wrestling grind in Wichita, from learning the business to chasing bigger dreams, this episode delivers laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, wrestling insight, and two best friends proving that sometimes the biggest danger isn't what's happening in the ring—it's what your friends say about you when the microphone is on.

*One Wild Card. One Cameraman. Zero filter.*

Hit play, turn it up, and welcome to another completely unpredictable episode of *Tag'mm and Bag'mm!*

Colton also opens up about wrestling nearly 20 different promotions in 2025, stepping back to get his life and goals in order, and what he's learned along the way about passion, preparation, adapting to your opponent, and NEVER getting too comfortable.

The Tag’mm and Bag’mm crew is back—and this time, we’re breaking down one of the biggest nights on the HCW calendar!

The 4th Annual Air Capital Brawl is almost here, and J and Jacque are diving headfirst into the announced matches, rivalries, championship battles, wild possibilities, and plenty of speculation surrounding Heartland Championship Wrestling (HCW).

We’re talking King’s Cup Finals, the Independence Championship, the Out of Luck Championship, the Sunflower Championship #1 Contender Match, tag-team warfare, and a massive HCW Championship showdown between Chance Carigan and Remington Rhor. Who walks away with the victory? Who gets screwed by outside interference? And what kind of chaos will the Cabinet bring to the night?

Plus, we revisit the controversial actions of Billy Simmons/Blade, discuss his explanation for taking out Darren Jekyll, and debate whether separating “Billy” from “Blade” really changes anything.

But this isn't just wrestling talk. J and Jacque also pull back the curtain on life outside the ring, including a candid conversation about intuition, strange experiences, family memories, Kansas weather, and the unpredictable moments that make their podcast what it is.

From serious wrestling analysis to completely unfiltered husband-and-wife chaos, this episode has it all.

Listen, follow, share, and tell us in the comments: Who do YOU think is winning these matches?

And remember… according to J, his predictions are always right—even when they're wrong.

What happens when an unapologetic wrestling heel, a questionable mathematical system, Lebanese pride, small-town Kansas attitude, and two hosts who absolutely refuse to behave themselves collide?

You get one hell of an episode of Tag'mm and Bag'mm!

This week, Jay and Jacque' welcome Yussef Ali to the show for an unfiltered conversation about his journey into professional wrestling, his roots in Andale, Kansas and his Lebanese family heritage, and how he went from an amateur wrestling background to becoming one of the most talked-about personalities on the independent wrestling scene.

Yussef opens up about how a WWE-themed birthday party and an inflatable wrestling ring helped spark his decision to pursue professional wrestling, his early training, his amateur wrestling background, and the lessons that helped shape the performer he is today.

The hosts also break down what made Yusuf stand out almost immediately after they first saw him at WWX. Despite entering HCW without a major promotional buildup, Yusuf quickly figured out exactly how to make the audience feel about him—and the boos came fast.

And then there's Yussef Math.

Is one plus one plus one equal to a championship? According to Yussef Ali, absolutely. His unconventional championship logic, his obsession with proving that he deserves the HCW Heavyweight Championship, and his insistence that his victories over Caine Carter and Ray Leon should count make for some of the episode's funniest wrestling arguments.

But there's much more than wrestling.

The conversation dives into Yussef's Lebanese heritage, his love of Middle Eastern food, his dream of traveling and experiencing authentic family cooking around the world, his childhood introduction to WWE, and his opinions on everyone from John Cena and Randy Orton to Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, The Miz and The Rock.

Jay, Jacque' and Yussef also go deep into the current wrestling landscape, WWE vs. AEW, international wrestling, streaming services, censorship, old-school ECW, deathmatch wrestling, and the crazy storylines that wrestling fans still can't believe actually happened.

And, naturally, somehow the conversation keeps finding its way back to food.

*Lebanese food. Steak. Lamb. Hummus. Pretzels. PBR. Chili.*

Because this is Tag'mm and Bag'mm.

If you're an indie wrestling fan—or you simply enjoy hearing a wrestler with absolutely no shortage of confidence tell you why everyone else is wrong—this is an episode you don't want to miss.

*Listen. Laugh. Argue with Yussef. And remember: according to his math, one + one + one = CHAMPION.

Saturday Night Devastation was absolutely INSANE—and Tag'mm & Bag'mm are breaking it all down!

J and Jacque' are back with a full, unfiltered recap of one of the wildest nights in Kansas indie wrestling. From the King's Cup prove-it matches and championship drama to surprise appearances, unexpected alliances, controversial decisions, and plenty of trash talk, this episode has it all.

We break down No Coast Yakuza vs. Born in the Moment, Colton vs. Ray Leon, Bigfoot Brandon vs. Arthur ARoyal, Devion Black vs. Kitt Reaver, the hilarious Morgan LeVay vs. Jarvis Jefferson vs. Psyman * Triple threat, and Tommy 2 Good vs. Luke Langley.

Then things get serious.

The Cabinet vs. Paradox and Johnny Faith match brings even more chaos, including a shocking new addition to the Cabinet. Chance Carigan defends the Heartland Championship against Bruiserdor Violencia, only for Remington Rhor to make his presence—and his intentions—known.

And then comes the main event...

Drake Gallows vs. Logan Knight in a brutal barbed-wire death match.

Barbed-wire ropes. Barbed-wire weapons. Tables. Salt. Blood. A fork. Two fallen referees. Stormy stepping in to officiate. And an ending nobody could have predicted.

But beneath all the violence was something even more powerful: respect.

Did Logan Knight finally prove everyone wrong? Could Drake and Logan's rivalry be the feud of the year? And what does all of this mean heading into the King's Cup in September?

Plus, J and Jacque' bring their trademark arguments, wrestling opinions, questionable predictions, hilarious stories, and plenty of Tag'mm & Bag'mm attitude.

If you love indie wrestling, Kansas wrestling, hardcore wrestling, wrestling match reviews, wrestling podcasts, King's Cup predictions, championship matches, wrestling rivalries, and behind-the-scenes wrestling drama, this is an episode you DON'T want to miss.

And because this is Tag’mm & Bag’mm, we couldn’t possibly keep things serious for long.
