Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Simon Gotch — one half of the beloved Vaudevillains alongside Aiden English — pulls into the Krazy Train

Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Simon Gotch — one half of the beloved Vaudevillains alongside Aiden English — pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire gets the story that never made it to SmackDown. Gotch takes it all the way back to Heatwave 2000, the moment that lit the fire, and walks through his early training days, his indie grind under multiple coaches, and how a kid who grew up watching wrestling in the XPW ECW parking lot scene eventually signed a WWE developmental contract and became one of NXT's most uniquely styled tag team acts. He breaks down the TKO corporate takeover of WWE, why he'd never step into Power Slap, and the honest truth about how many times the financial grind of the indie circuit made him seriously consider walking away from the business altogether.

Krazy Train Podcast: Hamish (Godthrymm) on Projections, Doom Metal Roots & the Song “Jewels” Hamish — doom metal veteran of My Dying Bride and Solstice, now fronting Godthrymm — pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire gets the full story behind one of the most respected names quietly building momentum in doom metal right now. Hamish breaks down where the name Godthrymm comes from, what "divine might" actually means, and why almost nobody pronounces it correctly on the first try. He previews the band's new album Projections, releasing May 29th on Profound Lore Records — the third and final chapter of a thematic trilogy that started with Reflections looking at the past and Distortions exploring contrast, with Projections turning the lens forward into the future through wide-ranging emotional and musical influences.

NWA Wrestling's Pretty Boy Smooth pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire wastes absolutely no time getting to what makes this man tick — because the Urban Playboy persona is sharp, the in-ring work is undeniable, and the story behind how a kid from Hempstead, New York went from college basketball at Hofstra to Mercyhurst to sitting ringside at a local indie show and deciding he wanted to be a wrestler instead of a referee is exactly the kind of origin story this podcast was built for. Smooth breaks down his training under multiple coaches including EC3 — who brought him directly into the NWA — the locker room culture that makes the NWA different, the move to Comet TV and what that platform means for the promotion's reach, and how a nickname he carried in real life became the Urban Playboy character that's turning heads on national television.
