Number 1: How Justin and Josh Met

In the summer of 2006, Josh Isenberg graduated high school from West Allegheny High School on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Instead of attending other Universities that he got accepted into, including Kent State University and The University of North Carolina, Josh decided to stay in Pittsburgh. His friend would tell him about a guy he found on Myspace that goes to Point Park University named Justin LaBar. (Yes, how creepy does that sound.) Josh would reach out on Myspace to Justin to talk more about sports broadcasting at Point Park University. Fast forward a few months, and Josh and Justin began a show at Point Park called Pioneer Sideline, which was a Sportscenter for the universities athletic teams. Justin and Josh sat side by side for 4 years announcing basketball, baseball, and the occasional volleyball games for their school. All it took was a simple myspace message and added friend, and Josh and Justin obviously work together seven years later. The chemistry was there from day one, but both men are very, very different to this day.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.
Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.
Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.
His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
