Episode 350: I See Dead People

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by newcomer Las Takacs, and we take questions from our listeners! Discussed on this week’s show:

–How would a Bruno Sammartino and Lou Thesz WWWF / NWA unification match have impacted the sport?
–With all of the good-to-great tag teams in the WWF, why were Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake given the titles?
–After their July 4, 1982 match in Atlanta, should there have been a Ric Flair vs Bob Backlund rematch?
–Could Arn Anderson have been a main event wrestler?
–What’s an underrated territory that no one talks about?

Plus there’s talk of a concert by The Wiggles, so what are you waiting for? Hit play and dive into this wicked good episode now!
