Midnight Memories: Matthew Burns (Sick Nick Mondo) TLJ Radio 5/20/2015
Description
In early 2015, One of Namo's favorite guests ever made his first appearance on Team LeftJab Radio... Matthew Burns AKA "Sick" Nick Mondo. Burns came on to promote his upcoming film at the time "The Trade" but also discussed his shift from CZW’s ultraviolent era to a filmmaking career based in Japan, clearing up misconceptions (he’s not an English teacher) and explaining what led him to stay in Japan.
Topics include his ECW influences, the brutal style and mindset behind CZW, reasons for retiring in 2003, his concern for younger wrestlers, and the story behind his new film at the time "The Trade" — a surreal docudrama exploring why he was drawn to extreme wrestling.
This episode blends wrestling history, personal reflection, and the creative rebirth that led to The Trade. Burns was a great interview!
