Advertise on podcast: In the Ring with Billy Moore

When worlds collide, magic happens. In this captivating episode, boxing legend Billy Moore welcomes professional wrestling icon Alan "Zeus" Dwyer for a conversation that bridges two combat sports dynasties and reveals their unexpected shared history. Zeus unveils the remarkable connection between his father and Billy's father—the legendary Archie Moore—who discovered Zeus's dad boxing at street fights in downtown San Diego. Their friendship lasted decades, with Zeus's father preparing Archie's steaks exactly "two and three-quarter inches thick, not two and three-eighths." These personal touches humanize the sports legends behind the public personas. The conversation takes thrilling turns as Zeus recounts his journey into professional wrestling, from being mentored by his high school coach (known professionally as "Dr. Death") to his unforgettable debut tag-teaming with Andre the Giant. Wrestling fans will appreciate Zeus's insider perspectives on industry giants like Hulk Hogan, who "turned the business around," and Ric Flair, "one of the greatest technicians ever." His humorous anecdotes—like searching for four midget wrestlers at a bar only to find them sitting on phone books—capture wrestling's colorful character. Beyond nostalgic entertainment, this episode reveals how these combat sports veterans are channeling their passion into youth development through Any Body Can Youth Foundation. They share touching success stories, including how their program helped Brian Broomberg, a La Jolla teenager, graduate high school. As an eight-year-old participant named Braylon declared: "We're going to make San Diego better and then we're going to work and make the world better." Join us for this unique crossover that proves champions are defined not just by achievements in the ring, but by how they champion others in life.
