In the SHANE HUSKEY Roundtable Pro Wrestling interview, the commentator told Inside the Ring with the Franchise that his first wrestling-business job was helping BCW’s camera crew. He also said he encouraged the idea of starting Roundtable Pro Wrestling, named The Rock as his main inspiration and picked Bray Wyatt as someone he would want to feud with.

How did SHANE HUSKEY’s wrestling fandom lead to BCW?

SHANE HUSKEY went from attending BCW shows as a fan to helping the promotion’s camera crew after Max Bernstein asked if he wanted to assist with the cameras. Huskey described that work as his first gig in the wrestling business, giving him a way to take part in a show he had previously watched from the audience.

From the audience at Eagles Lodge to the camera crew

Huskey said he found BCW through a company he had been part of. BCW was running wrestling at Eagles Lodge, and he began going to its shows as a fan. Bernstein later approached him about helping set up camera equipment. Huskey accepted, making camera work his first hands-on role.

The path matters to how Huskey describes his involvement in wrestling: he did not start this story at a commentary desk. He started by attending local shows, then agreed to help with the production work needed to put those shows on.

Wrestling before his BCW job

Huskey pushed back when the interviewer characterized him as a new fan of WWE and AEW. He said the period of wrestling he grew up with began in 2003 and extended to the present. That fandom came before his work with BCW and, later, Roundtable Pro Wrestling.

What did SHANE HUSKEY say about Roundtable Pro Wrestling’s creation?

SHANE HUSKEY said Roundtable Pro Wrestling grew out of a podcast whose hosts kept joking about starting a wrestling company. He believes he may have given the idea a push by offering to help if it happened. He now works as one of the promotion’s commentators and wanted a more visible on-air role.

A running joke on the podcast

Huskey recalled conversations involving Julian Center, Big Money Drew and The Mod. Starting a wrestling company became a recurring joke among the group before it became a real project. He said he may have been the one to tell the others that, if they started a company, he would help.

He did not claim sole credit for creating Roundtable Pro Wrestling. His account was narrower: the podcast brought the people and the idea together, and he encouraged them to pursue it. The interviewer also described the company as having come out of the podcast.

Taking a seat at the commentary table

Huskey said he chose to become more of an on-air personality because he loves wrestling. His place at the commentators’ table gives him a role beyond the camera work that first brought him into the business. He connected that decision directly to how important Roundtable Pro Wrestling had become to him.

The move also put him on the other side of a production he once helped from behind the camera. At BCW, Bernstein’s invitation was to help set up equipment; at Roundtable Pro Wrestling, Huskey’s job is to speak to the audience during the show.

Which wrestlers inspired SHANE HUSKEY?

SHANE HUSKEY named Dwayne Johnson, known in wrestling as The Rock, as the main person who drew him toward wrestling. He singled out The Rock’s promos and personality as influences on his own unhinged style. Huskey also named Bray Wyatt and said he currently enjoys Corvus Ricklin’s work.

The Rock’s promos and personality

When asked who made him want to be part of wrestling, Huskey went first to The Rock. He talked about watching the way The Rock handled promos and presented his personality, rather than pointing to a particular match. Huskey said that influence helped shape the unhinged quality he sees in himself.

The Rock was not simply one name in a list for him. Huskey identified him as his main inspiration, making the connection between what he watched as a fan and the kind of personality he wanted to bring to wrestling.

Bray Wyatt and Corvus Ricklin

Huskey also brought up Bray Wyatt, specifically mentioning Wyatt’s return at Extreme Rules in 2022. Later, when considering a hypothetical feud, he returned to Wyatt because of what he admired about wrestling psychology. Corvus Ricklin was another name Huskey raised, describing him as someone whose current work he enjoys.

Who would SHANE HUSKEY team with, feud with or fire?

In a hypothetical wrestling game, SHANE HUSKEY chose sign guy as the person he would fire, the phenomenal one as someone he would team with, and Bray Wyatt as someone he would feud with. He also made a claim about his own wrestling record, but the exchange centered on his choices and their personal appeal.

The choice to fire sign guy

Huskey said he had been waiting to play the game since his first appearance on the Roundtable Pro Wrestling podcast. His firing choice was sign guy. He acknowledged that sign guy was nice, while saying the two had problems; he did not turn the choice into a detailed account of their disagreement.

During that exchange, Huskey introduced his record with what he called a fun fact:

I am probably like the only person that's undefeated in professional wrestling

Teaming with the phenomenal one and feuding with Bray Wyatt

Huskey initially played along with the idea of teaming with the interviewer, then withdrew it. His eventual team choice was the phenomenal one. For a feud, he picked Bray Wyatt, an inspiration he had already named. Huskey tied that choice to his interest in the psychology of wrestling.

Where can fans find SHANE HUSKEY at Roundtable Pro Wrestling?

SHANE HUSKEY said fans could see him in person at the Roundtable Pro Wrestling commentators’ table. He also directed them to The Husky Funhouse on TikTok, Twitter and YouTube, identifying TikTok as the platform he uses most. He gave October 18 as the date of the promotion’s next show.

His answers covered both sides of his public role: calling the action at a live show and keeping in touch through his own social accounts. He used The Husky Funhouse name for those accounts rather than giving separate handles for each platform.

The interviewer also pointed listeners toward the Roundtable Pro Wrestling podcast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Huskey’s own invitation was to find him at the commentators’ table or through The Husky Funhouse, particularly on TikTok.

Why did SHANE HUSKEY choose Taco Bell as his favorite fast food?

SHANE HUSKEY picked Taco Bell when asked to name a favorite restaurant or type of food. His reason was practical as well as enthusiastic: he described it as affordable and said he could pay for it. The food question came after the discussion of his wrestling work and where fans could follow him.

Huskey called Taco Bell his top fast-food choice and emphasized its prices when the interviewer pressed him. Rather than naming a particular order, he stuck to the value of being able to get food there without spending beyond his means.

It was a brief answer, but a direct one. After talking about BCW, Roundtable Pro Wrestling and the wrestlers who influenced him, Huskey ended on a preference outside wrestling: Taco Bell because he likes it and can afford it.
