JNPO: Josh Barnett talks Bloodsport X, Baszler, bourbon & burgers

It’s WrestleMania week in Philadelphia and that includes a slew of non-WWE related events like The Lapsed Fan’s Bozos, Biceps & Bullsh*t Brunch that we talked about last week.

This week, we go in a different direction, that being Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X as part of GCW’s Collective series of events this weekend.

For the first time since 2019 before the first-ever Bloodsport to carry his name, Josh Barnett makes his return to this very podcast to talk about a lot of topics, many of which start with the letter ‘b.’

We delved into this Thursday’s tenth event (available on Triller), why he chose his fight against Johnny (Morrison) Bloodsport, what makes the show different, and some background on the process of securing his protege and current WWE star Shayna Baszler for the event.

Also, will there be other WWE talents there as previously reported? Find out.

We looked ahead to June’s Bloodsport Bushido in Tokyo, Japan. You’ll learn when he first thought about bringing Bloodsport to that country, some of the names already lined up, and much more.

Finally, we explore one of his passion projects — Warbringer bourbon — and how he got so heavily involved. That discussion also branches off into beer, shower burgers, and the new Road House movie. Yes, yes it does.
