The News Man Weekly Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Relax, It’s Just Coffee!

MANSFIELD — Ric Flair would offer his famous catchphrase if he listened to episode No. 76 of the News Man Weekly podcast.

“Wooooo!”

It’s a 90-minute, jampacked show full of pro wrestling, Shelby Whippets football and the West Park Shopping Center.

The News Man Weekly crew of Carl Hunnell, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray kick things off with a Thanksgiving recap, football chatter and a fresh “What’s Carl Watching?” segment (hint: He loves Liam Neeson.) 

Hunnell also zeroes in on one major local story: the long-decaying West Park Shopping Center and a potential path to finally tearing it down. 

Then, WMAN’s Aaron Hines joins the show to talk about life in local radio, the grind of balancing morning news with nightly sports and what Shelby needs to do to bring home a state football title — capped by a prediction for Friday’s game. 

After that, Chris Hahn stops by to share how he went from pro wrestler to trainer, stuntman, actor and brain tumor survivor … before tag-teaming into his in-ring alter ego, Johnny Paradise. He is gearing up for his return to the squared circle at Malabar Middle School on Saturday night.
