Episode 25 of Fannin’s Flashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by the newest member of The Fannin Family, “The Pretty Hate Machine” Connor Hopkins. They talk about Connor’s parents hating wrestling and him having to lie to them to start training. Connor talks about wrestling in towns so small across northern Illinois and North Dakota that even Ian Rotten wouldn’t have tried running there! Connor then talks about the life changing event that was the COVID pandemic shutdown that led to IWTV showing the 2004 TPI on a livestream and Connor falling in love with that event and wanting to be managed by Jim. They then talk about everything that happened at WrestleArts and trying to build a chemistry on the fly in about 10 minutes. Who would Connor like to join him in the Family? What does Jim want out of this second act of his career? All that and more on this week’s episode.
