Overview

Bruce has hosted The Bruce Collins Show since 2006 with co-host Chad Miles (a former candidate for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan's 14th congressional district) on WSMN 1590 AM in Nashua, New Hampshire, and WWZN 1510 AM in Boston, Massachusetts.

Author
Collins is the author of three books, among them: The Big Schwag's Positive Self Help Guide- For Complete Losers Like You!, co-written with actor Brett "The Big Schwag" Wagner, and So, You Want to be a Wrestling Promoter? co-written with Ric Drasin, the only book on Amazon about promoting wrestling (wrestling promoters are very secretive about their techniques as revealing them creates more competition). Collins is currently working on a fourth book, tentatively titled The Corpse Wrestled at Midnight.
Pro wrestling promotions
Collins owned the pro wrestling company Boreman's Wrestling Planet from 1996 to 1999. Boreman's Wrestling Planet promoted shows in Northern California, most notably hosting Halloween Horror '99 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. Bruce's time in wrestling was chronicled in SF Weekly, in an article titled SMACKDOWN!
Radio
Bruce started in radio on Monster Radio, hosted by Brett "The Big Schwag" Wagner (who was the voice of Discovery Channel's Monster Garage) and Alan Taylor (also of Car and Driver Radio). Monster Radio was syndicated in 84 radio markets. Collins appeared on Monster Radio from 2003 to 2005 with his book review segments.
