Welcome to Tope Con Coolio

I'm pretty hopeful that the youtube account has actually lead to a few new visitors here and that being said allow me to welcome you guys to Tope Con Coolio.

The show is pretty much three guys talking about televised and independent wrestling while trying not to be totally gay about it and using snowflake ratings or sounding like we need to remove our tampons.

We're bag fans of things ranging from Chikara to Sheamus, Louden Noxis to Glen Goza, Eddie Kingston to The Situation...the list goes on and on.

The show is hosted mainly by myself,Ben Pasco, as well as Ben Gordon and Bryan Hughes with regular contributors like Alex Fitzgerald, Wiggy, Matt Foster, Matt Ryan and many others along with Brad Chillbreau and Drew McEntiyre the Jerk

I really hope you new people listen to the show and enjoy us and tune in live at 7PM ET for the show or just download them

Thank you so much-Ben Pasco

Tope Con Coolio & The Programme w/ Matt & Ben present the 2009 Christmas Extravaganza!

Im such a nerd

Random Nerd things Ben Pasco has done regarding wrestling

Steph was a manager at lids, her assistant manager was a big indy fan. He told he his fav guy was the best worker in North America, I asked who..he said Christopher Daniels...I told him he was an idiot and left

Kids from High School Huss at me because I brought it to my school. I grab a wrist and people know whatsup

I've superkicked a brick wall within the last month

Any trip from my dorm to CUmberland farms with my friend Brendan after 11 PM leads to a WWE Hardcore Match...aka throwing each other into signs

Got my girlfriend to take me to ROH and.....rest is history there I guess

Jimmy Jacobs posted looking for Ultimate Warrior video, I sent him a colliseum home video release of his best matches..Warrior and Taker vs Shango and Berzerker FTW

I got drunk and was trying to convince Mike Rotch through Steph to book Twiggy vs Meng...I dont think either of them were as pumped as I was

Also Drunk....once said that "I hadnt felt like this since Muta and Windham wrestled in 89"....Ive never seen em wrestle

I rank doing the Bird Dance with Koko B Ware above graduating from HS as one of my favorite life achivements
