It's been a while since I last posted on my blog. More than a year, to be exact. I'm back today to commemorate the birth of the My 1-2-3 Cents brand. On September 3, 2010, I created this page and the My 1-2-3 Cents brand. It was an outlet for me to share my opinions on the pro wrestling business. Through the years, I've had friend share their thoughts too. More recently, though, I've used the brand to reflect more on the 'good old days' and not be as negative with my thoughts.
It was in December 2010 that the My 1-2-3 Cents YouTube channel was born, and then in 2014, the podcast followed. I'm proud to say that every Monday since December 9, 2014, a new episode of the podcast has been released. Just this week, episode 563 aired in both audio and video form. It was also at that time that Mondo the Monkey became the official mascot for the brand.
I love creating content, but I know that wrestling podcasters are a dime a dozen these days. Between all the former wrestlers and other personalities associated with the business, I find myself and My 1-2-3 Cents aimlessly floating through the innerwebs. Even though I'll likely never get rich doing it, it's a labor of love that I plan to continue until at least September 2026, when episode 619 drops (I'm still pursuing Rey Mysterio for that show; Rob Van Dam was on episode 420, so it could happen.)
Years ago, I had huge aspirations for myself in the wrestling business. In 2018, I auditioned to be a ring announcer for Impact Wrestling in Las Vegas. That's about as close to the national stage I've come. Even though I still dream of a big break happening, it's just a dream now. I am no longer pursuing that goal, but if I were to be discovered by Paul Levesque or Tony Khan, I wouldn't turn down the opportunity.
I'm having fun and will only announce when the time is right. I stepped away from the ring announcing gigs in 2023 after my friend Tyler 'Heath' Hatton also stepped away from Stride Pro Wrestling. We host shows once a year, with the next one scheduled for October 10 at Crab Orchard High School.
As for the brand, I'll continue to post on YouTube and TikTok (kevin_hunsperger), so check out my content there. Let me know how you're doing, too. Thanks to all who have been a part of this fantastic journey.
