“Rockstar” Jonny Nigh plays the hits
Episode 315
Monday, 16 February, 2026

A little bit of a late bloomer in the wrestling business, “Rockstar” Jonny Nigh’s career didn’t start till he was 28 years old. Now, a bit of a grizzled veteran, the new Rocket Pro Wrestling Outer Limits Champion joins Windy City Slam to talk about his career, recent run in RPW, ride with The Idols and how much of a family that faction was, his first title defense coming up next month, how a chance meeting at a birthday party got him in the door, how important Rion Skillz was to him and others in the business, the rise of Maximus Orion and more. Plus, Mike recaps AEW Grand Slam Australia and TNA No Surrender and hits the highlights of Wrestle League’s “Berwyn Blitz,” while also previewing cards from Chicago Style Wrestling, AAW Pro and POWW Entertainment. Mike Pankow is a 25-year-plus professional journalist and wrestling superfan who covers local Chicagoland wrestling and national promotions like AEW and WWE. If there is something going on in Chicago, Mike knows about it. Enjoy “Wrestling, Chicago-Style” on The Broadcast Basement On-Demand Radio Network! Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com.
