Challenge Mania

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Joss Mooney.The last time Joss Mooney (@Joss_Mooney) was on Challenge Mania, it was on the heels of his 2018 Elimination of the Year against our very own Derrick Kosinski (@DerrickMTV). Much like we do almost every episode, we spent the majority of the chat covering that war. In the mean time, Joss came in second place on Final Reckoning, a season that was stolen from him depending on who you ask. Joss returns to the show to tell Derrick & Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) just how close he felt he and Sylva were to a million dollars, whether he blames Paulie for their loss, if he would have taken the money or shared it, what it's like playing with Ashley Mitchell again on WOTW2, how #JOGAN came to be, which Team UK folks he had history or beef with going into the season, what he thought about Team US choosing Turbo over CT and MUCH MORE!

Scott Yager is joined by Wrestler & Actor, Dustin Rhodes.You may know him as Goldust. You may know him as "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. Hopefully, a few years down the line...you also know him as an actor. Dustin is pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming an actor now that his wrestler career comes with a more flexible schedule. He is currently shooting a film called Cutter Bill (@CutterBillFilm) with director Brett Bentman (@BrettBentman). That flexible schedule comes from the fact that he has moved on from his former stomping ground to join his brother Cody in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He started this new chapter in his career by having an epic match with his brother back at AEW's Double or Nothing event in May. A match many are calling the best of the year. AEW Premieres on TNT from 8-10pm on Wednesday October 2nd. Dustin (@DustinRhodes) joins Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) for a chat about what acting and wrestling have in common, what his iconic character meant for the wrestling business, what he learned from his father Dusty Rhodes, who he hopes to work with in AEW, what we can expect his role to be, thoughts on Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Roddy Piper, Kenny Omega and MUCH MORE!Get tickets and info for all of our live shows at www.ChallengeMania.LiveGet FREE SHIPPING on Challenge Mania gear if you spend $45 at www.ChallengeMania.ShopGet 20% off ALL ORDERS at www.500Level.com who are now making awesome wrestling shirts with the code MANIAFollow Scott on twitter @SHOTOFYAGER
