Missouri Wrestling Revival

Webster University students, read this!

By Ben Simon

It has been one month since a new episode of RingSyders has been posted.  That sucks.

Today, we were to have referee Jim Harris on the show to talk about his memorable experiences in the ring (Jim is retiring in a couple of weeks).  I wanted to discuss so much, including the big WWE Championship unification match at WWE TLC and the huge independent cards coming up.

So much!

It’s showtime!  Drew Abbenhaus and I sit down with our microphones and… crackle crackle crackle.  The sounds of a campfire or a scratchy record are not what you want to hear over the headphones.

The hardware malfunctioned to the point where I couldn’t get it right.  This isn’t the first time this has happened.  This also wasn’t the first time I had to cancel on Jim.

You see, I inherited my recording equipment from PartyAnimalRadio, the defunct online station that hosted RingSyders from late 2011 until early 2013.  It’s iffy, and didn’t exactly come with a manual.

RingSyders is a hobby for Drew and me.  I don’t want the show to go away, but sometimes I get disillusioned.  I hate this hardware.

I would never stoop to recording a webcam show with my computer speakers.  I need a mixer, headphones, and great microphones.  After all, there is a reason that RingSyders is the official podcast of MissouriWrestlingRevival.com!

I used to do a show on Webster University’s The Galaxy when I went to college there.  I want to be in that studio again.  However, the rules have changed and a current student (alumni don’t cut it anymore) must be one of the hosts of the show.

I would love to do RingSyders live online again at Webster.  The show would still be podcasted and uploaded to MWR of course!

I guess what I’m trying to say is, we need help!  Ideally, we are looking for a Webster student or other Greater St. Louis person who can get us the hookup.  Plus, we would love to have a third man on the mic again.

I want this show to be the best it can be.  This is an two-way, open-door call.
