The debut episode of MASS APPEAL is up, and man does it set a high standard! Boston’s own CHRIS GRIFFIN took command of an action-packed show. GRIFFIN, formerly known as THE GOON, is no stranger to IRONMAGTV. His former shows BEAST COAST LIVE and DOWN ‘N DIRTY with THE GOON were always fan favorites. Fast forward to nine years later, and he’s back with MASS APPEAL.
MASS APPEAL has a totally different dynamic than NO HOLDS BARRED. Both shows are awesome, but MA is a one-man deal. Whereas I hadn’t been on an NHB episode till episode 21, I was a part of the very first episode MA, and so was JOHNNY STYLES. This is because you can’t have one person talking to themselves for a full show. We know, because even though CHRIS killed it for the first episode, those first five minutes were brutal. Did we edit that out? Of course not. CHRIS SUFFERED DURING THAT TIME FOR YOU! HE SUFFERED FOR YOU! Like an ANABOLIC MESSIAH. Then JOHNNY and I jumped in and the show turned out to be epic, but CHRIS was always in the driver seat. What a fuckin amazing first episode. CHRIS talked about poor JAMES HOLLINGSHEAD taking 2nd to BEHROUZ TABANI at the HUANJI CHINA PRO. He talked about other nuggets in the sport, peptides, and OF COURSE JUST US SHOOTING THE SHIT!! GOOD TIMES, INDEED!!
And guess what, it’s way early SATURDAY MORNING. TODAY is the 2026 TAMPA PRO and CHRIS most definitely talked about NICK WALKER and his chances of prevailing in the city DEREK LUNSFORD calls home. But we also talked about some other VERY dangerous killers in JO PALACIOS, CHARLES GRIFFIN, and JAMES HOLLINGSHEAD. These guys aren’t just going to the show for fun, they want to win! And those who don’t win, may have to go to the TEXAS PRO. The TEXAS PRO where CHRIS couldn’t help but point out REGAN GRIMES‘ insanely impressive new look. JOHNNY and I were of the same opinion.
Could we see a HOLLINGSHEAD/GRIMES showdown in TEXAS? Who do you think would win? And why?
MASS APPEAL will be the perfect brother show to NO HOLDS BARRED. The two will truly create even more buzz for IronMagTV and shed more light on what’s really happening in this world. No woke, wheatgrass shot bullshit. These hosts aren’t looking to offend anyone, but they’re not going to tip toe around reality to spare your feelings from getting hurt. If that’s not your cup of tea, then go get your matcha at any number of COOKIE CUTTER sites on the net.
I’m working on creating Facebook Groups for the shows. We’re also discussing the possibility of MA and NHB having a LIVE night once a month. And of course expect a featured guest each month on MA, just like on NHB. There’s a lot going on at our network, so be sure to visit us often. We’re all about building a hub with IRONMAGTV. That’s the vision of our beloved boss, the one, the only ROBERT DIMAGGIO!! Without Rob, none of this would be possible.
We’re all hoping advertisers who want to be part of a REAL bodybuilding community will partner up with us and take the industry by storm.
