The Big Dogg, Joshua T

Born and raised in Roseburg, Oregon, Joshua T has been a wrestling fan since the 1990s. He grew up on WCW and was hooked by the energy of that era, from the NWO storyline to Goldberg's undefeated run.

Josh did not stop at one promotion. During the Monday Night Wars, he followed both WCW and WWE and developed a deep appreciation for what each brand brought to the business.

His favorite era is the Ruthless Aggression period after the WCW and WWE merger, with Batista as his all-time favorite from the Evolution faction. The Big Dogg is also a proud supporter of the independent wrestling scene.

Outside the podcast, Josh is a gamer, traveler, and salesman who enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and two boys.

The Guy, Chad

Born in Colorado and now based in Wisconsin, Chad is the CTO of Turnbuckle Report. He grew up in the 1980s and 1990s watching wrestling alongside his brother, and that is where his passion for the business began.

The two were dedicated WWF fans (now WWE), and like many fans of that era, Chad closely followed Hulk Hogan. As the years moved on and Hogan transitioned to WCW, Chad continued watching with his brother through the Monday Night Wars, flipping channels between Monday Night RAW and Monday Nitro each week.

Chad's favorite period in wrestling is the Golden Era, and he brings that perspective into every Turnbuckle Report episode. Outside the podcast, he enjoys visiting the lakes in Wisconsin, traveling, and spending quality time with his beautiful wife and kids.
