A note from TCC Management

We apologize about the lack of updates to TopeConCoolio.com during the suspension of both Ben Gordon and Bryan Hughes. Mr. Gordon will return to active duty tonight, and if he knows whats good for him, he won't discuss it further.

Mr. Hughes will remain suspended.

Thank you,
TCC Management.

PS - Tonight's show will begin at 8pm instead of 7pm. Thank you.

Episode 79~! preview - NXTCC contestants revealed!

This week on Episode 79 of Tope Con Coolio, Ben Gordon returns from his one week suspension at the hands of TCC Management. Bryan Hughes continues to remain suspended until the end of the month for undisclosed reasons. Formalities aside, Ben and guest third mic Matt Foster will FINALLY present the contestants of the NXTCC competition to determine the next breakout podcast host and future permanent third mic of Tope Con Coolio! Several people entered, and these men will be the finalists. We will play their first NXTCC confessionals and allow you to get into their minds.

Tonight we'll also be discussing:

* A live report of EVOLVE 5 in Rahway, NJ from last Saturday - Who ruled? Who sucked? Do ALL Japanese guys have awesome merchandise?
* New Fall Season - Many TV shows have or will be making their series or season premiere in the coming weeks. What are we most looking forward to? What looks like it'll be canceled after two week and be replaced by reruns of Hee Haw?
* NXT Season 3 - Our first chance to discuss the hilarity that is the all diva season of NXT. PS - Michael Cole should always have a gong on him. Always.

Episode 78~! Preview

This week on Episode 78 of Tope Con Coolio, Ben will be joined by TGRIOnline.com writer and manager of champions Marcus "King Kong" Dowling! Bryan Hughes will not be on the show as management has delivered a 30 day suspension to him. We are unsure as to why at this time and hope to have an explanation from the boys upstairs as soon as possible.

Tonight we'll be discussing:

*NXT - Kaval wins season 2, preceding the most disjointed and confusing segment of the year. Plus 4 chicks and a goliath try to win season 3!
*UFC 118 fallout - Where does BJ Penn go next? Does Randy Couture deserve to be in the title mix? Is Kenny Florian a choke artist? and more unanswered questions.
*2010 Emmys - Surprising and not so surprising wins, but overall an enjoyable outcome. We discuss the winners, the upsets, the snubs and Jimmy Fallon being funny again.
*Indy roundup! Previewing upcoming independent wrestling shows from ISW, ROH, EVOLVE, PWG and lots more.
