Pat Laprade Returns! – GPYS 251

by keith on March 18, 2022 at 12:23 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Pat on the Mat, Podcast, Podcasting

FINALLY! Quebec wrestling historian, commentator and podcaster Pat Laprade returns! Long time listeners of Go Plug Yourself are no doubt extremely familiar with Pat Laprade. We had him on as a guest a few times on the main show and so much fun with him we actually created whole other podcast called “Pat on the Mat” which was a (more or less) monthly take on the world of pro-wrestling.

So yes, this is a lot more of a Pat on the Mat episode than it is a Go Plug Yourself episode (we don’t even do 5 Questions!) but it is what it is and what it is is podcasting greatness.

Also, we returned to recording at Grumpy’s! We’re playing all the hits baby!

If you like what Pat Laprade has to say, be sure to check out any (or all!) of the books he’s written about the squared circle:

Pat Laprade is also the voice of Monday Night Raw each week on TVA Sports, be sure to keep tabs on Pat’s page over at TVA Sports to keep track of all of his French language coverage of wrestling and hockey. Pat also co-hosts a French-language wrestling podcast called Les Anti-pods de la Lutte with Kevin Raphaël.

Oh and by the way, if you’re a fan of our hosts AND a fan of pro-wrestling then have I got the event for you: It’s the WrestleMania Watch Party Weekend at Champs right here in Montreal!

Professor H. Shayne Hawke (IWS) – GPYS 245

by keith on November 25, 2021 at 6:30 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks professional wrestler Shayne Hawke from IWS: “What is the thing that happened in your life that surprised you the most?” asked of course by our last guest: Francois Vigneault (TITAN, Orcs in Space) in GPYS 244.

Fun fact, we actually had Shayne on the show way back in 2014 since we love ourselves some wrestling on this here show. Times have certainly changed since then. Not only did Shayne suffer a series of injuries that looked like they were going to keep him out of the ring permanently, but he also got over those injuries and can wrestle again!

Shayne is now a mastermind over at the International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS) and also runs things down at the IWS Dojo where he will teach you (yes, you) how to wrestle. You can follow Shayne on Instagram, Twitter and I’m told even Tik Tok.

Lawrence steps into the co-host this episode and also he and his fiancée Eve-Line step up to host part of Episode 186 of the Super J-Cast (a New Japan Pro Wrestling Podcast) that you can listen to here.

Wrestling With Walter J. Lyng – GPYS 230

by keith on April 15, 2021 at 6:08 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Walter J. Lyng is back on the Montreal podcast that has historically spends a lot of time talking about wrestling even though it’s not a wrestling podcast! We’re back baby!

Ladies and gentleman, our guest at this time is none other than Go Plug Yourself Hall of Famer: Walter J. Lyng!

If you are somehow tuning into the show for the first time you know that 80% of all of the hosts of Go Plug Yourself love wrestling (one guess on the 20% who doesn’t, hint, she passed on joining us for this episodes).

Considering that this past weekend was the 2nd Covid-19 edition of WrestleMania we thought it would be fun to bring back your friend and mine Walter to talk about the entire two night event and do a match by match breakdown of the festivities. It’s kind of like Pat on the Mat, minus Pat… and plus Lawrence and Chris.

Oh, it’s also the annual Cult MTL “Best of Montreal” readers poll right now and we would really appreciate it if you would kindly head over to Cult MTL and vote for Go Plug Yourself as your favorite Montreal podcast.

Enjoy the show!

Wrestling! – Go Quarantine Yourself 7 (aka GPYS 210)

by keith on June 25, 2020 at 10:30 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that is bold enough to do yet another episode devoted entirely to the world of professional wrestling.

Walter jumps back on this episode to talk with Chris and I about our shared passion of the squared circle (Lawrence also loves wrestling but couldn’t make it, Inés does not love wrestling so obviously is not around).

You may have heard that Edge and Randy Orton had The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever recently, so we talk about that, but in the spirit of the ‘Go Quarantine Yourself’ series we pivot towards some of our early memories as blossoming wrestling fans, namely: hitting wrestling moves on your friends and siblings.

Listen now and get to know us all a little better in the process, enjoy.

Pat Laprade Podcast – Pat on the Mat 21 – Post WrestleMania 2019

by keith on May 8, 2019 at 9:11 pm

Posted In: Other podcasts, Pat on the Mat, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal wrestling podcast that you know and love is back once again (like a renegade master) to shoot the squared circle. Pat Laprade probably watched somewhere in the vicinity of 30 hours of wrestling when he went down to NYC for WrestleMania weekend and this time Walter went with him. Just kidding. Walter also went to ‘Mania but as he brings up at the top of the show, my two co-hosts did not interact once over the weekend.

That’s why we call him “Hollywood Pat”.

Enjoy the show!

GPYS 179 – Giant Tiger Returns! (BATTLEWAR)

by keith on April 4, 2019 at 7:11 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

With WrestleMania right around the corner, we thought it was high time to have yet another episode devoted to one of our favorite things: pro wrestling. Sure, we’ve got that OTHER show where we only talk about wrestling (and you should definitely be listening to Pat on the Mat if you aren’t already) but it’s not the same as sitting down with a wrestler and just shooting the shit.

If you only watch the WWE brand of pro-wrestling, you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. There is amazing, local, affordable indie wrestling promotions in Montreal and one of the best of those is the one and only BATTLEWAR and they will be celebrating their 7th Anniversary on April 14th at Foufounes Electrique. Giant Tiger is one of the mad geniuses behind the magic of BATTLEWAR and we welcome him back to the show to talk about learning to wrestle in the back of a porn studio, wrecking people’s cars with a moving truck (transporting a wrestling ring of course) and having his jaw wired shut after working a stiff match. It’s a good one.

Enjoy the show!

We’re just a little over 2 weeks away from WrestleMania (and all of the other events that go with it) so this is the last episode of Montreal’s favorite English language wrestling podcast: Pat on the Mat! Walter was below the weather so Pat and I hold it down like PCO and Brody King while we run through everything we know (and speculate about a lot of things we don’t kn0w) about the 35th edition of the biggest wrestling event of the year, enjoy the show!

Pat Laprade Podcast – Pat on the Mat 19 (Royal Rumble, Wrestle Kingdom, Elimination Chamber)

by keith on February 17, 2019 at 1:24 pm

Posted In: Other podcasts, Pat on the Mat, Podcast, Podcasting

In case you didn’t know, Pat Laprade is one of the busiest people in Quebec Wrestling, so once again we find ourselves closer to 6 weeks between episodes. But that’s ok, we compensate by talking about almost EVERYTHING that has happened since Christmas! 3.0 signing with WWE, the AEW signings, Uce popping his shirt off in front of the cops, Becky winning the Rumble and what is going to go down TONIGHT at Elimination Chamber. Enjoy the show!

Pat Laprade Podcast – Pat on the Mat 18 – TLC

by keith on December 30, 2018 at 6:23 pm

Posted In: Other podcasts, Pat on the Mat, Podcast, Podcasting

So, full disclosure, we recorded this episode after recording our annual Sh!t Show over on Go Plug Yourself so Walter and I may have a had a few. This one gets a little wild. Also, the bar started getting a little rowdy as the show was recorded over the holidays, so deal with it. It’s a celebration!

We’re also joined this episode by Vance Michel, The Green Phantom and The Arsenal because we thought this should really be a 6 person podcast. We talk all about TLC, if WWE can fix RAW, the future of The Elite, PCO’s amazing 2018 and some of the best and worst moments of the entire year in the squared circle.

Enjoy the show, see you in January!
