Episode 129: I’m Worth Something

Hi Everyone:

I’m John McAdam and I’m here to tell you that this episode of STICK TO WRESTLING is a special one, something I’ve been planning for months.

Back in 2003, Dave Meltzer had a talk show on CBS Sportsline Network. Ole Anderson had just released a book, and Dave invited Ole as a guest on the show to promote it. The lit matches and the gasoline collided, and the interview was THE topic of wrestling chats and messageboards at the time. Thomas Bane and I took a close look at this disaster as STICK TO WRESTLING provides a Thanksgiving leftover show that’s over TWO HOURS of controversy and laughs.

I hope you and your families all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the episode!
