Episode 69 with Kevin Kleinrock

Published: June 18, 2016, 7:32 p.m.

b'Kevin Kleinrock of Masked Republic and Lucha Loot returns to Creative Control! Kevin has a vast array of experiences in the wrestling world. In part one, we talked a lot about how he got into the business, his time with XPW, and the Wrestling Society project that formerly aired on MTV. On this episode we cover the post WSX years. First, we talk about his time working for Bischoff/Hervey on Hulk Hogan\'s Micro Championship Wrestling, which aired on Tru TV. We cover the Urban Wrestling Federation, a concept with combined wrestling, rap, and some outlandish skits, that lead many to compare the UWF with today\'s Lucha Underground. We also talk about the beginning and unfortunate end of Extreme Reunion/Extreme Rising, and whether or not they were ever truly in position to have a TV deal. We go over the Masked Republic\'s "Masked Mania" show, that took place in Philly the weekend that Extreme Rising collapsed, his memories of the show, and more. Kevin discusses his current projects, including Lucha Loot, a monthly box/crate for Lucha fans, which usually includes a mask, autographs, DVDs, and anything and everything in between, including "Rudo Can\'t Fail," the Lucha Magazine that Kevin is behind.
