Johnny Mac’s co-pilot Sean was unavailable this week, but longtime WWWF fan Scott Cornish was here for the rescue.

What if Superstar Billy Graham wasn’t available to take over for Bruno? Who, then? Who were Superstar Billy Graham’s missing challengers? Who were Bob Backlund’s missing challengers? And then the big one: what if Bruno Sammartino was willing to hold the WWWF title indefinitely?

Episode 9: Men Without Hats: McAdam, Goodwin & The Great Brian Last

John McAdam and Sean Goodwin are joined by The Great Brian Last, who is the first to sit in Stick To Wrestling’s guest chair! We discuss the year in wrestling that was 1983, the final time the territories existed peacefully- well, sort of. In hindsight there were plenty of writing on the subway wall telling us that the wrestling world would soon be radically changing and that the “War of ‘84“ was inevitable. Download, listen, and discover that it really wasn’t Vincent Kennedy McMahon who killed the territories, despite any claims to the contrary.

Episode 8: Johnny Mac Gives Arn Anderson The News

Sean Goodwin and John McAdam are back! We do a double dip “What If” Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard had not left the NWA in 1988, and what if they had never left the WWF in 1989. We do our best / favorite heel turns but not before heading down a hilarious rabbit hole while discussing Dave Meltzer’s match star rating system and how Mr. Meltzer’s recent amendments to it sent poor ol’ Johnny Mac into a tailspin. Sixty can’t-miss minutes. Okay, maybe fifty nine and three quarters.

Sean Goodwin and John McAdam are back!

It’s a fun, spirited 60 minutes where we STICK TO WRESTLING!
