Dr. Keith Lipinski

Dr. Keith Lipinski (born August 2, 1974 in Berwyn, Illinois) is the host and executive producer of the vastly popular Dr. Keith Show. The DrKS is highly regarded amongst the internet wrestling community; often asking whacky questions, championing the lost art of the mustache, and topped off with the sound of megaphone croons. Keith married Ryan (not Shamrock) in November 2005 in a non-wrestling themed wedding.

Lipinski Wrestling News

Lipinski’s body of wrestling work began in 1997 as the founder, writer, general manager, co-executive producer, janitor, head honcho, and publisher of the legendary LWN (Lipinski Wrestling News) online newsletter. Lipinski's newsletter was known for its clever analysis, thoughtful insight, and interesting yet masterful interpretation of the written word, often ‘borrowing’ from more legit websites, which was of course more down to Dr. Keith’s love for piracy than anything else.

WAR Wrestling Hotline/MCW Wrestling Hotline

In 2001, Lipinski’s public demanded to connect the words with the voice and the good Doctor became the co-host for both the WAR and MCW Wrestling Hotlines although both lasted a short time as (to quote Keith): “I was just too sexy for these hotlines and they got to lazy to pay the phone bills or want us to update much. Damn shame.”

Lunatic Wrestling Federation Hypeline

After leaving WAR and MCW, Keith became the second Keith (known as Keith Dos, Bizarro Keith, or “The Keith”), to give daily news updates on the LWF (Lunatic Wrestling Federation based out of Suburban Chicago) Hypeline, replacing the original “Keith” who left for personal reasons. The hotline shut down in August 2002 over not paying its bills. “It was the saddest day of my wrestling life,” a saddened Dr. Keith added.

Pro Wrestling Torch

In February 2003, Lipinski began writing for the Pro Wrestling Torch (PWTorch.com) website on recommendation from his good friend Gregg Allinson (thanks for the shout out- GA), writing “Strap On, Strap Off” a sometimes weekly look into title changes, and wrestling history told though the eyes of a Freudian man child. Based on his creativity, humour, storytelling, and creative plagiarism he began writing the intriguing “Lipinski’s Lounge” (original title “The Parable of the Snake and the Mongoose” which was based off of an awesome Branchy Bob Armstrong quote from TNA when he danced the Charleston), a weekly look into the wrestling world in the eyes of a Lipinski, which his Mom found really funny.

Puroresu Power Hour

Lipinski’s focus expanded to include the wonderful world of mixed martial arts, independent wrestling, puroresu and his love of the great outdoors. As a long time fan of puroresu and mixed martial arts, Lipinski was thrilled to join Mike Sempervive and Zach Arnold in a radio show which aimed to be a pro wrestling/MMA version of the “The John McLaughlin Group” but it ended up being more like "the Muppet Show" with less musical numbers, yet surprisingly more puppets. Puppets included the likes of Mauro Ranallo, Bas Rutten, Samoa Joe, Don Frye, Chuck Liddell, Dana White, Josh Barnett, Tito Ortiz, Dave Bautista and Trish Stratus.

Sweet, Sweet Memories===
Sweet, sweet PPH memories included "the PPH Lottery Machine", "Hustlelations" - bringing HUSTLE to the people in fluent Engrish, Quinton Jackson breaking the story about finding God, Dusty Rhodes eating peanut butter crackers during an interview, Shinya Hashimoto tribute show (audio clips from the funeral, interview with Jimmy Suzuki), Giant Bernard after his jump from All Japan to New Japan, Special X-mas party shows with Bas Rutten (singing a Christmas carol), The greatest Don Frye interview ever (cold call, they got his machine he picked up, which was all on tape), road reports from the PPH VW (Keith’s 2002 VW Golf), ECW Nostalgia Weekend Show (Shane Douglas & Jerry Lynn) and Mike Semprevive and Mauro Ranallo getting into a wonderful Italian verbal argument that lasted for approximately 4 years. Other PPH highlights included the PPH Challenge (verbal debate about wrestling issues of the day), Tales of kobashi (tales of people meeting Kenta Kobashi during his US Tour, PPH Players Theatre (Keith and Mike recreate the finest wrestling moments while ACTING~!), and the car giveaway* (*Buff Bagwell matchbox car!).

Figure Four Weekly

Keith began contributing to Bryan Alvarez’s Figure Four Weekly in 2004. F4W is regarded as the most entertaining wrestling publication with Lipinski being another perfect jigsaw piece in the empires puzzle. Keith basically asked Bryan to do anything he didn't want to do, and he became Mr. TNA, writing reviews to the Impact television show. In 2006, Keith contributed some Doctor’s Notes to the site, with a humorous look at the past week in sports entertainment. Keith also is a regular guest on the F4Wonline radio show, the highlight being a version of “Where Were Your Sheep Last Night” which may well have been “Where Did You Sleep Last Night”

Wrestlecrap

RD Reynold’s popular satirical wrestling site, and yet another online source for more Dr. Keith whackiness. In this case, Keith reviewing episodes of the Surreal Life, which were initially intended for Figure Four Weekly, if not for Vince Verhei’s ineptitude. “I enjoy it because now I have a reason to watch this trash television over and over,” said the good Doctor when questioned over his choice of television programme.

Dr. Keith Lipinski Show

After the demise of the PPH, Dr. Keith hosted his own show, the Dr. Keith Show in early 2006. Working alongside former partners-in-crime Mike Sempervive and Zach Arnold, the DrKS introduced the debut of the megaphone croon with one Bill Barlow. The megaphone croons became a staple part of the DrKS, although they took a brief hiatus in the summer over Barlow’s grief over Mark Henry’s latest injury setback. Even though it didn’t take too many episodes for TNA to ban their wrestlers from appearing (one expletive croon too many), it soon became clear that it was TNA's loss as the Dr. Keith Show went from a Hitler tache to a full-on Iron Sheik affair.

Keith's fine, fine tache

Year of the Mustache

Keith famously proclaimed 2006 to be the "Year of the Mustache," even hosting a BADD mustache party, whilst growing a fine, fine tache. The Dr. Keith Show had many mustached themes, and many guests were chosen due to their fine upper lip hair.

==Other projects
As well as his writing and radio exploits, Dr. Keith also commentated on PuroresuDVDSource.com’s “The Best Of 2005” collection alongside Adam Summers and some guy named Dave Prazak. Keith has also guested on the Voice Of Wrestling, Karl Stern's Dragon King Press Podcast, Fight Opinion Radio, Joe vs. The World, Rear Naked Choke Radio, and WrestleCrap radio (one time as Jack Arnold the worlds biggest Rocky King fan), as well as writing the index for Ian Hamiltons "The Sinking Ship" book.
