    Wrestling’s Realest Show About the Struggle Behind the Spotlight.

    LiMPiN AiNT EASY is the only show where professional wrestling’s biggest names—past, present, and future—pull back the curtain and open up about the real-life battles behind their larger-than-life personas.

    Hosted by the “Handicaptivating” Timmy Baltimore, this raw, revealing, and often inspirational series blends human-interest storytelling with insider knowledge from the world of sports entertainment.

    Timmy Baltimore isn’t just a host—he’s lived it. A physically disabled wrestling announcer, producer, writer, and booker with over two decades in the business, Timmy has earned the trust of the industry’s elite. From his early days in MCW and OVW, to working alongside “The American” Dream Dusty Rhodes in WWE’s developmental system, to calling the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Nick Aldis at ALL IN 2018, Timmy has seen—and survived—it all. Whether it’s a heart-wrenching confession, a backstage war story, or a hard-earned lesson from the road, LiMPiN AiNT EASY delivers the truth from the trenches. With his deep relationships and unmatched empathy, Timmy creates a space where guests feel safe to be real.

    And that’s the secret: Timmy’s own journey—marked by clinical death, comeback after comeback, and a relentless passion for the craft—makes this show not just compelling… but unmissable. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a tribute to resilience. It’s wrestling’s confessional booth. It’s LiMPiN AiNT EASY—and it damn sure ain’t fake.

    2025/05/21

    SCOTTY RIGGS was a featured TV wrestling star in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) during one of the industry’s most important time periods. Best known as ½ of the AMERICAN MALES w/ MARCUS “BUFF” BAGWELL, and later as a member of RAVEN’S FLOCK, Riggs found himself on the front lines of The Monday Night Wars, when WCW Monday Nitro bested VINCE McMAHON’S World Wrestling Federation (WWE) for 83 weeks. But as he reveals in this inspiring & brave interview with Timmy Baltimore on LiMPiN AiNT EASY, Scotty’s most arduous war would be fought on the battlefield of his own mind.

Yet when fate intervened in the form of old friends, Scotty found himself in the midst of the comeback of a lifetime! Hear his full circle story—that came so close to never being told—as he’s never told it before: How one man climbed from the depths of hell so that he can courageously help those who are still suffering.

    EP.11 ARON “DAMIEN SANDOW” STEVENS
    2025/05/14

    ARON STEVENS may be best known for his portrayal of the “Intellectual Savior of the Masses,” DAMIEN SANDOW, and as the wildly popular, MIZDOW; Stunt Double to WWE Superstar, THE MIZ. But as he tells his former OVW colleague, Timmy Baltimore, on this episode of LiMPiN AiNT EASY, Aron had an entire wrestling career both before and after the Damien Sandow character. And despite not being a generational wrestler or nepotism baby, Aron Stevens practically grew up in the wrestling business. In this must listen interview, the former Sandow covers his extensive wrestling career; from beginning his training under the legendary KILLER KOWALSKI when Aron was only 16 and still attending high school, to getting being hired, fired, rehired, and debuting twice on the WWE roster before the age of 30! Aron’s story is one of surviving the ups & downs of the wrestling business, but always being able to land on his feet because of his invaluable experience and ability to “Get Over” with any live crowd. Today, Aron is an integral part of SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance; the NWA. Stevens is openly and appropriately critical of the state of the wrestling business, with knowledge and wisdom that can only accompany a young 27 year veteran of the industry.

    EP. 9 BISHOP KAUN— #AEW’s GATES OF AGONY
    2025/05/01

    BISHOP KAUN looks like he stepped right out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; a valuable attribute to possess in the cosmetic & athletic world of professional wrestling. Kaun and his GATES OF AGONY tag-team partner, TOA LIONA, have all the tools to dominate the tag division of TONY KHAN’s ALL ELITE WRESTLING (AEW). Yet wrestling lore hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface into Bishop Kaun’s potential. On this episode of LiMPiN AiNT EASY w/ Timmy Baltimore, for the first time ever, the mysterious Bishop Kaun tells his story. In this revealing conversation, Kaun talks about struggling with the duality of his identity as a biracial youth, being a First Generation American, and learning in adulthood that he was born an actual Cameroonian Prince. Though you’d never know that the royal treatment was an option in his life on account of his grueling work ethic, dedication to the grind, and his insatiable hunger for more! Despite being a tag-team wrestler for the majority of his time as a contracted talent, the African Bull Elephant craves the glory of a singles career. And, as you’ll learn in this in-depth interview, Bishop Kaun is an incredibly dynamic star on-the-rise, who just may make good on that goal. “KAUN HAS SPOKEN” and he has plenty to say.
