About this episode
This week on "Prime Time with Sean Mooney," we welcome indy sensation, Joey Ryan! Joey takes us back to the beginning, growing up as a kid in Los Angeles, and his first experiences with pro wrestling, including his ECW fandom as a teen. Joey explains the differences between the west coast independent scene today vs. back when he was a kid, and reflects on the formation and evolution of Pro Wrestling Guerilla, which he helped start. Joey talks about the grind of being on the indy circuit for the past 20 years, how he made himself stand out in the early days, and how he implemented comedy into his wrestling. Joey also discusses integrating intergender wrestling, the influence Andy Kaufman had on him, and how he gets women over and empowers them. And, yes, we discuss the origins of the infamous dick flip, as well as the penis druids at last year's All In show. Plus, Joey talks about the influence that Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks have had on him, his opinion on AEW, and much more! Need more Mooney?
