Freestyle Way#69 Ryan Orrico: Writing and Learning Out LoudIn this episode, I talk to Ryan Orrico, who presents as the anti-coach and experiments with different identities and bold voices on social media that strike a delicate balance between being offensive and sensitive.
In a sea of generic and unhelpful coaching advice, those who dare to look beyond their fragile constructs of moral integrity see Orrico for what he is: an impactful and needed voice, which makes him more of a coach than most.
His preferred method is writing and learning out loud.
Listen in; you might learn something.

Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: November 25, 1996Lou Albano, out of nowhere! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get ongoing updates from Doc Hendrix that don’t really update anything at all. Rocky Maivia gets a chance to work a solo match, Bret “the Hitman” Hart and Owen Hart give us a great show opener, and Sunny continues to evolve into a sexual predator. Ryan gets to present a Jobber of the Week, and Vince McMahon gets to lead Shawn Michaels through another interview. This is all Jose Lothario’s fault!2022-08-2252 minWrasslin' RawWWE Raw: November 18, 1996How many times can the Executioner ruin a finish? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys have to ask the hard questions: Can Jose Lothario, in FULL CARDIAC ARREST, refuse medical attention? What do PG-13 really bring to the table in the Nation of Domination? What’s it going to take for Ryan to give Bob Holly the Jobber of the Week title? The answers to these questions and the results of the 1996 Presidential election are on an all-new episode this week!2022-08-1551 minWrasslin' RawWWE Raw: July 1, 1996Adios, Mr. 500, don’t let the door hit you on the way out! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys sit down to talk about a very special episode of Monday Night Raw. Vince McMahon is at the top of his game here, calling matches featuring Shawn Michaels, Mankind, and Goldust. Ryan has an especially satisfying Jobber of the Week segment, Jason gets to take us back in time for a house show, and Joe’s news features some pretty important revelations about the future. Pause it on the hair flip!2022-02-0750 minWrasslin' RawWWE Raw: May 13, 1996How many Jobber of the Week candidates can they fit into one Monday Night Raw? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys bear witness to one poor match after another, with the Bodydonnas, Duke the Dumpster Droese, and Aldo Montoya all present and all contending to be Ryan’s Jobber. This was balanced out with fantastic interviews with the Undertaker and Goldust, and an excellent match between Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. BUT WAS THAT SKIP, OR WAS IT ZIP?2021-11-2258 minWrasslin' RawWWE Raw: April 22, 1996THE EPIGLOTTIS! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get a truly underwhelming Pay Per View go-home show. With the exception of Goldust and Savio Vega competing for the Intercontinental title, matches with the Godwinns and Make a Difference Fatu both fall flat. Mankind has a good match, but why is Aldo Montoya still getting pyro? Why is Brett Hart strutting through Germany? There are a lot of questions in this episode, but hey, Ryan gets to highlight a fantastic Jobber of the Week!2021-10-251h 03Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: March 11, 1996Call in to 1-900-SHAMELESS to find out what Billionaire Ted is up to this week! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys see the “debut” of Stone Cold Steve Austin in an amazing match against Savio Vega, some comedy relief from a possibly-rabid Phineas when the Godwins wrestle, and what amounts to a handicap match between Yokozuna, Owen Hart, and the British Bulldog when the Undertaker goes Diesel hunting. We’ve got a new Jobber of the Week, so Ryan brushes off the ring rust and delivers!2021-08-301h 00Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: March 4, 1996It’s the Wrasslin’ Raw 100th episode spectacular! In celebration, Monday Night Raw treats the boys to some great matches between Shawn Micheals and the 1-2-3 Kid, Bret Hart and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and the Raw debut of Justin “Hawk” Bradshaw. The party continues with yet another fantastic Mankind vignette, and a perverted and predatory ‘movie’ from Goldust that causes Ryan and Jason to stop and examine their tastes. Oh, and it’s official, we’ll get the ULTIMATE WARRIOR at Wrestlemania XII!2021-08-231h 08Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: November 6, 1995A thousand madcaps for two cents per madcap? WHOAAA! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get to take a look at a pretty good squash match featuring Henry O. Godwin and Ryan’s Jobber of the Week, a not-so-good squash match featuring Kama, and more Marty Jannetty than Joe and Manitoba should have to handle. Vince McMahon gives us previews of upcoming matches, complete with spoilers, and Barry Horowitz goes full poindexter. Watch those busy hands, Horowitz!2021-03-291h 13

He’s fascinating, entertaining, and a slightly polarizing figure in the yoga world.Instagram tends to be so curated and professional, so it’s incredibly refreshing to see someone drop the filter and stop taking things so seriously. He wasn’t a big fan of the way most yoga teachers used Instagram—it felt very fake—but he also didn’t feel great about putting himself out there. Eventually, he started posting short, 60-second videos to help him get over his fear of...2020-10-1652 min
Unusually FocusedThe Skwerl App 3: The Future of the AppFor the past few months, Ryan's been busy learning how to code and doesn't seem to want to talk about Unusually Focused, or how we're going to turn Skwerl into a business. It's been hard to have a conversation with him about the business side of things because doesn't seem to be able to switch his mindset from "App Developer" to "CEO."

In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys watch a mostly enjoyable episode, filled with great matches from The Bodydonnas, Savio Vega, Owen Hart, and the British Bulldog. Ryan’s Jobber of the Week is one of the best that’s been seen so far, and viewers are treated to Jim Ross on commentary for one excellent match. Shitty booking strikes again in the end, though, as the episode closes with a Lex Luger Video Package and some very bad news for the future. Unacceptable!2020-09-211h 14Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: May 29, 1995I’m gonna be your best friend! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get jobbers galore, both in actual jobbers and in “top-quality” talent like Adam Bomb and Mabel.

Many issues crop up, including Jason’s nostalgia for Bob Backlund, Ryan’s excellent selection for Jobber of the Week, and Joe’s personal professional strategy on how to audit somebody who’s standing in your way. Unfortunately, the beginnings of Bam Bam’s burial begins, and once again, it’s shown that Raw can’t end on a high note. Click click click click!2020-08-311h 00Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: May 8, 1995Behold, Ewatemela, greatest lion of Africa and ever! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys examine the ‘go-home’ episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into the first ever In Your House Pay Per View. It’s certainly better than expected, with gems such as the best Donk match so far, and another high-quality Sid promo. We are lucky enough to have a Jobber of the Week, and Joe blows both Jason and Ryan’s minds with a Contemporary News bombshell. It’s cheap, folks!2020-08-171h 05Wrasslin' RawVacationOne might think that Wrasslin’ Raw takes too many vacations, but what the listeners don’t realize is that we send our people deep into weeds, investigating the hard-hitting topics, like Jeff Hardy’s contact lenses!

We get the increased neckbeard of Yokozuna, a new cartoony debut, and Kama’s new chain. Can we get a tally on how many martial arts Kama uses against his opponents?2020-07-1349 minWrasslin' RawWWE WrestleMania 11It’s a special WrestleMania spectacular! In this very special episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys got together to have some drinks, have some laughs, and review the biggest wrasslin’ event of the year!

In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Jason does a deep dive into the real racing career of Bob “Spark Plug” Holly, Ryan gets denied a “Jobber of the Week” segment, and Joe is disgusted enough by Ryan’s talk of a King Kong Threesome that he becomes speechless. We get the return of Bull Nakano, and the boys all pop their ass off for the one person that they never would have expected. Yet again, Bob Backlund has ruined everything!2020-06-081h 11Wrasslin' RawWWE Raw: March 6, 1995Did somebody request maximum Pettingzoo?

Jason does his best to bury Stephanie Wiand and Joe does his best to bury the IRS v. Undertaker match, while Ryan can’t handle 28 jobbers and is therefore excused from his duties for the week.
