The 3 Count Podcast

The Outlandish One has entered the ring. Zicky Dice joins Red Dawg and Chaz on the 3 Count Podcast for episode 450 — and this one is LOUD. From Cocoa Beach, Florida to the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy, Zicky talks getting trained by Seth Rollins, building the Outlandish character, and rolling the dice on a career that's taken him everywhere from the NWA to IMPACT to AEW.

He breaks down the road to the NWA World Television Championship — beating Ricky Starks for the title in 2020 and holding it for 268 days — the Learning Tree days in IMPACT/TNA alongside Brian...

The Hype Man has entered the ring. JC Foxx joins Red Dawg and Chaz on the 3 Count Podcast to talk the art of the hype — the gift of gab, the suits, and how a Nashua High football star became one of the loudest voices in New England indie wrestling.

From Marist College football and the arena leagues to the mic at New World Wrestling Extreme, Focus Pro Wrestling, and Rebel Spirit Wrestling — JC talks building confidence, his favorite introductions, stepping into the ring himself, and what's next for The Hype Man.

**TOPIC 1 — Did WWE Make the Right Decision Having Tiffany Stratton Cash In on Chelsea Green?**

**TOPIC 2 — Did AEW Go Too Far at Blood & Guts?**

Did AEW's violent finish push the boundaries of compelling storytelling, or did the brutality overshadow the match and undermine the significance of Adam Copeland's surrender?

**Topic 1: Who's Who — Rappers vs Wrestlers**

The comparison game. Take a rapper and match them to their wrestling equivalent — or a wrestler to their rap equivalent — and defend the pick. Career arcs, personas, longevity, influence, style, controversies: whatever the criteria, the fun is in the argument. The segment lives in the disagreements, so the setup is the format, not a verdict — who's the Jay-Z of wrestling, who's the Undertaker of rap, and why.

**Topic 2: Debuts and Rebrands**

What's actually new versus what's just a new coat of paint. When a wrestler...

This week on **Now Entering The Ring**, we've got special guests **BUFF INC.**

Too Buff and Buff Dad sit down with us ahead of the big one — Party Crashers vs Buff Inc. at Breaking Point's **Samhain Slam, Oct 31 in Marlborough**. All love now, but on Halloween weekend it's strictly business. We talk their come-up, the indie grind, and what happens when friends become opponents.

RED DAWG & FRIENDS

TOPIC 1 — IS WWE ID FAILING TO DELIVER ON ITS PROMISE?

Is WWE ID genuinely creating meaningful opportunities for independent wrestlers, or is the program offering exposure without a clear pathway to a WWE career?

TOPIC 2 — DOES OBA FEMI NEED PAUL HEYMAN?

Would aligning Oba Femi with Paul Heyman elevate him into WWE’s next major superstar, or would it take away from the natural presence and individuality that make Oba special?

TOPIC 1 — BRYAN DANIELSON WRESTLED AGAIN: SHOULD HE STAY RETIRED?

Debate Question: Should AEW use Bryan Danielson for occasional special matches now that he’s stepped back into the ring—or should the PAC tribute remain a one-time exception?

TOPIC 2 — DOES WRESTLING NEED MORE NEW MATCH TYPES?

Debate Question: Do new stipulations like AEW’s Clockwork Carnage keep wrestling fresh—or have match concepts become so complicated that they start getting in the way of the story?

TOPIC 3 — CAN INDIE WRESTLING STILL SELL PPV IN 2026?

Debate Quest...

TOPIC 1 — SHOULD MITB STILL CREATE NEW STARS?

Should WWE use Money in the Bank to elevate somebody new—or give the briefcase to the established star who can make it feel biggest?

TOPIC 2 — DID AEW FAIL TO BUILD ITS NEXT TAG-TEAM GENERATION?

Are the Young Bucks still champions because they’re still the best choice—or because AEW hasn’t created enough teams to replace them?

TOPIC 3 — SHOULD PROMOTIONS PROTECT WRESTLERS FROM COMING BACK TOO SOON?

After Mustafa Ali returned quickly from a punctured lung...

Tonight on The 3 Count Podcast Presents: Chaz & Friends, we're tackling three debates across WWE and AEW!

TOPIC 1 — WWE vs. AEW

Does AEW surviving WWE counterprogramming prove it has established a loyal audience that WWE can't take away? Or does counterprogramming still threaten AEW's ability to grow?

TOPIC 2 — Roman Reigns

Is Roman Reigns truly one of WWE's all-time greats, or has WWE's historic investment in him inflated how fans evaluate his legacy?

How much should cham...

TOPIC 1 — WWE TITLE CHANGES

Does WWE Change Championships Too Often?

Has WWE gotten too comfortable using frequent title changes to create big moments, or does moving championships around keep the product unpredictable and prevent title reigns from becoming stale?

TOPIC 2 — LEON SLATER / OPTION C

Does TNA Have to Put the World Title on Leon Slater Now?

After invoking Option C, would losing at Bound For Glory hurt Leon Slater's momentum—or can simply competing for the TNA World Championship elevate him?

TOPIC 3 — WWE × AA...

🔥 TOPIC 1 — DO WE APPLY MENTAL-HEALTH NUANCE EQUALLY?

Debate Question: When severe mental or neurological illness may have contributed to someone killing their family, should that change how we judge the person—or can understanding why something happened never lessen responsibility for what happened?

🔥 TOPIC 2 — NOW WHAT WITH WILL OSPREAY?

Debate Question: Should AEW commit to a long Will Ospreay championship reign, or does keeping Jon Moxley dangerous enough to realistically beat him make the AEW World Championship more compelling?

🔥 TOPIC 3 — DID WWE DISRESPECT THE NEW LEVEL?

Deba...

Topic 1: Did Sami Zayn make WWE’s title picture better—or undermine CM Punk’s championship reign?

Topic 2: If Will Ospreay loses to Kenny Omega at Wembley, can AEW still call him its future franchise player?

Topic 3 — Avery Styles at TNA Lockdown:

Is TNA smartly capitalizing on the Styles family legacy—or relying too heavily on nostalgia to generate interest in its current product?

TOPIC 1 — ZILLA FATU & THE BLOODLINE

Should WWE eventually connect Zilla Fatu to the Bloodline, or does he need to establish himself completely on his own first?

The deeper debate: Does the family connection give Zilla an automatic advantage, or could relying on it prevent him from developing his own identity?

TOPIC 2 — TOO MANY WWE TITLE CHANGES?

Is WWE’s recent wave of championship changes making the product exciting and unpredictable, or are constant title changes starting to devalue the champi...

What makes a wrestling entrance truly GREAT? Is TNA getting creative or going way too far? And after Brock Lesnar, is Oba Femi ready for the World Championship picture?

On this episode of The 3 Count Podcast Presents: Chaz & Friends, we're tackling three debates guaranteed to split wrestling fans.

TOPIC 1 — Greatest Wrestling Entrance Ever

What is the greatest wrestling entrance of all time—and what actually makes an entrance legendary? Is it the theme song, presentation, crowd reaction, or the wrestler walking through the curtain?

🔥 Topic 1: Does AEW have a roster problem, or is its stacked roster actually its biggest strength? With rumors swirling about more potential signings, should Tony Khan keep adding talent or focus on the stars he already has?

🔥 Topic 2: Is WWE's counterprogramming of AEW simply smart business, or does it hurt the wrestling industry? Where do you draw the line between healthy competition and trying to undercut your rival?

🔥 Topic 3: Triple H recently revealed he passed on making Bron Breakker a Royal Rumble winner because he felt Bron wasn't ready. Was that the right decision, or did WWE m...

Topic 1:

Did WWE Make the Right Call Introducing an Interim Women’s Championship?

Debate Question:

Does an interim championship protect the legitimacy of the title when a champion is injured, or does it unnecessarily devalue the championship?

⸻

Topic 2:

Is Kenny Omega Still the Right Face of AEW in 2026?

Debate Question:

Is putting the World Championship back on Kenny Omega the best move for AEW, or should the company be building around its...

🚨 Did WWE end Sami Zayn's championship reign too soon? Is Tony Khan helping or hurting AEW by giving away PPV-caliber matches on free TV? And where does Sheamus rank among WWE's all-time greats?

On this episode of The 3 Count Podcast Presents: Chaz & Friends, we tackle three of the biggest debates in professional wrestling today.

Topic 1: Did WWE pull the trigger too soon by taking the WWE Championship off Sami Zayn, or was he always meant to be a transitional champion?

Topic 2: Is AEW at its...

Which WWE Superstar has the greatest entrance theme of all time? Did Oba Femi make the right decision? And has AEW overused one of its biggest championship stipulations?

On this episode of The 3 Count Podcast Presents: Chaz & Friends, special guest Smurf joins us for three heated wrestling debates that every fan will have an opinion on.

Topic 1: We draft the greatest WWE entrance theme songs in a five-round fantasy draft. Which team built the best playlist?

Topic 2: Did Oba Femi make the right call by giving up his guaranteed championship opportunity to chase...

Did Sami Zayn really finish his story? Should Oba Femi challenge Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn? And who is Paul Heyman's greatest success story?

On this episode of The 3 Count Podcast Presents: Chaz & Friends, we tackle three of the biggest debates in professional wrestling.

Topic 1: Did Sami Zayn winning the WWE Championship complete his story, or is WWE making an emotional mistake?
