On episode 6 of The Middle Rope we chat to rising Bahraini film director Aziz Altamimi about directing the biggest independent wrestling show in the Middle East: SuperSlam 3, falling in love with wrestling and his film career including the wrestling documentary Queen of the North.

We also discuss his unique approach to three matches to show a non wrestling fan to convert them, playing video games with Kurt Angle, and so much more!

On Episode 5 of The Middle Rope, veteran referee Steve Lynskey joins host The Burg for a ringside chat about his incredible journey through the world of professional wrestling!

From starting out in the UK wrestling scene to sharing the ring with legends like Cody Rhodes and Kurt Angle, Steve reflects on the grind of being the third man in the ring—and how it brought him all the way to Qatar Pro Wrestling.

We talk about his advice for up-and-coming referees in Qatar, his take on what they need to do better. We also hear which three matches he would show a non-wrestling fan to turn them into a believer. He shares these great stories with us and so much more.

On Episode 4 of The Middle Rope, Canadian luchador El Reverso Dan Pizzano joins host The Burg for a deep dive into his unique journey—from Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling to becoming a former QPW Qatar champion!

We talk about THAT viral chokeslam moment with Big Mad, his experience at SuperSlam 3 (including the absolutely insane Psycho fall in the ladder match), and what it was like working with the legendary Billy Gunn.

El Reverso also opens up about why he can’t wrestle in the U.S., and shares a hilarious story about a gift gone very wrong (but with the best intentions)!
