After four decades as one of the most iconic, controversial, and influential figures in global professional wrestling, Vampiro steps into a new arena—and into a new language. This is the long-awaited English-language debut of Radio Vampiro, hosted by Ian Hodgkinson, a man whose journey has taken him from blood-soaked arenas to ancient ceremonial chambers, from addiction and isolation to healing through faith, magic, and truth.
In this premiere episode, Ian shares why this moment matters so much—not just as a career milestone, but as a personal resurrection. Known worldwide as Vampiro, he’s been a professional wrestler, television host, paranormal investigator, DJ, and practitioner of ceremonial magic for over 40 years, and he’s hosted radio and podcast programs for two decades… but always in Spanish. Until now.
Now—partnered with Bloody FM, the #1 horror podcast network in the United States—Ian brings his storytelling, scars, and supernatural insight to an English-speaking audience for the very first time.
This episode is an introduction and a declaration. With raw vulnerability and the voice of a man who’s earned every line on his face, Vampiro shares:
Why horror and mental health are deeply connected—and how both saved his life.
The spiritual foundations behind his persona—and the real man behind the paint.
The hidden history of Friday the 13th, from the betrayal of the Knights Templar to ancient superstitions and modern fears.
His passion for ritual magic, urban legends, underground music, and why he believes Radio Vampiro is more than a show—it’s a movement.
“I shouldn’t be alive. I wasn’t supposed to survive. But I’m here. And this moment, this microphone, this language, this platform—it means more to me than I can explain. Bloody FM gave me a chance to speak, and I promise you: I will haunt this space with truth, pain, power, and purpose. Every week. Until my voice gives out.”
Whether you know Vampiro from the ring, from the shadows, or you’re just meeting him now, this episode is the origin of something powerful—a spiritual, paranormal, and brutally honest journey through horror, identity, healing, and transformation.
This is Radio Vampiro. And this is just the beginning.
