  • Beyond Wrestling w/Robb Ep. 1: Tommy "Wildfire" Rich
    Apr 2 2026

    The boots are off. The crowds are gone. And for the first time… the conversation ISN'T about wrestling.

    Welcome to the debut episode of Beyond Wrestling w/Robb, where host Robb Helt pulls back the curtain and steps into the Neutral Corner Lounge, a place where the gimmicks fade, the stories get real, and you finally meet the person behind the persona.


    And for the very first episode, Robb sits down with a man who’s lived it all…
    “Wildfire” Tommy Rich.

    But this isn’t the Tommy Rich you’ve heard in shoot interviews or wrestling podcasts.

    This is something different.

    Instead of championships and territories, Robb takes Tommy somewhere deeper:

    • Growing up in Hendersonville, Tennessee and what life was like before wrestling ever entered the picture
    • The values instilled by family, and the influence of a strong mother who helped shape the man behind the persona
    • Wild childhood stories (including one that ends with a burned haystack… and multiple ass-whippings)
    • Life on the road vs. life at home and what it really meant to balance wrestling with being a husband and father
    • Personal struggles, health scares, and the discipline it took to completely change his life later on

    And along the way, you get moments you’ve NEVER heard from Tommy Rich before:

    • Honest reflections on faith, family, and legacy
    • Stories about meeting legends outside the wrestling business, from music icons to everyday influences
    • His thoughts on aging, slowing down, and what truly matters now

    This isn’t about what happened in the ring.

    It’s about everything that happened outside of it.

    By the end of this episode, you won’t just know Tommy Rich the wrestler…
    you’ll understand Tommy Rich the person.

    And that’s exactly what Beyond Wrestling w/Robb is all about.
