Episode 144: My Comfort Food

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is once again joined by John Muse. John McAdam and John Muse practically wrote the 1990 Wrestling Observer Yearbook, so who better to discuss the 1990 Year End Awards? In the discussion:

–Steve Austin winning Rookie of the Year in a landslide, and how it was obvious he had superstar potential straight out of wrestling school.

–Who deserved the Most Obnoxious prize? SO many to choose from.

–Junkyard Dog was nominated as 1980 Wrestler of the Year by John McAdam. By 1990 he was the worst of the worst.

–What was the Best Gimmick of 1990? Again, so many to choose from!

–How the NWA went from Best Promotion to Wrest Promotion in only twelve months.

–Could there be a more qualified Worst Gimmick contender than The Black Scorpion?

Plus Johnny Mac tells an odd story about going to Baltimore for the 1990 Great American Bash, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good bad boy!

Episode 71: Because Ric Flair & Roddy Piper Weren’t Insufferable

On this week’s Stick To Wrestling, John McAdam and Sean Goodwin are joined by longtime fan Steve Crawford, who did not miss a single episode of Memphis Wrestling when he was a kid! We continue our October of Inquiries, and touch upon the following subjects:

– Which wrestler’s death had the greatest impact on the industry?
– What if Paul Heyman could have purchased WCW in 2001? Should Sting have won the NWA title a the first Clash of the Champions special?
– Ted Dibiase was scheduled to win the WWF title at Wrestlemania 4. Would he have still held in coming in to Wrestlemania 5?
– Would Tully Blanchard have worked out as The Black Scorpion?
– How well would Ron Simmons have fit in the Varsity Club.
– In 1984 if Roddy Piper stayed in Mid-atlantic but Ric Flair jumped to the WWF, how would things have played out?
– What if Mike Rotondo had left the WWF in 1985 and Barry Windham stayed?
– Which wrestler who never went to Memphis would have done well there?
– The “Heroes of Wrestling” Pay Per View just turned 20 years old. What were our thoughts then, and what are they now?
– If the internet had been around when wrestling had territories, what would have been the biggest news day of the week?

And more, including the question that inspired this show. What are you waiting for? DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN to this bad boy!
