Brian James, popularly known as Road Dogg to wrestling enthusiasts, has made the difficult decision to conclude his podcast due to escalating work responsibilities.
Serving as WWE’s Senior Vice President of Live Events, Road Dogg oversees the company’s untelevised live shows and boasts an extensive background as a creative team member, head writer, and behind-the-scenes producer.
In a recent episode of Oh You Didn’t Know, Road Dogg expressed his regret at having to put an end to his podcast, citing the heightened obligations at his day job:
“I have thought about it a great deal. I’ve gained more responsibilities at my real [job], my day job, and so I’m gonna have to put the microphone down. It did not come easy to me at all. I have developed a family and it’s not making it easier that I’m talking to a lot of y’all today on here live because you really have become family to me.” [51:46 – 52:15]
Road Dogg initiated his podcast venture in April 2022 following his release from WWE. Later, he returned to the company after his close friend Triple H assumed creative duties from Vince McMahon.
While not disclosing the specifics of his increased responsibilities, Road Dogg clarified that the decision to end the podcast was entirely personal and unrelated to WWE’s parent company TKO:
“It’s totally a personal decision because I’m not home enough to justify, when all’s said and done, business thoughts included, everything, money, and all that included, I can’t justify taking two or four hours away from my 18 hours home to come and do the podcast,” elaborated Road Dogg.

Road Dogg’s podcast, Oh You Didn’t Know, is co-hosted by Casio Kid, with its initial co-host being former wrestler Ryan Katz before he returned to NXT in a behind-the-scenes capacity.
