Episode 248: Randy Savage Punched Him

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by new guest Mike Fahey as we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Wrestlemania 9! On the discussion table this week:

–Randy Savage may not have been a good color commentator, but he had a sweet right hook. Just ask Hulk Hogan.
–Jim Ross makes his television debut with the WWF. Ross would become synonymous with the WWF but he felt out of place on this day.
–Hulk Hogan was Hulk Hogan and where he went, the spotlight followed. We discuss how difficult it is to book around that.
–Bobby Heenan has some jokes about Jim Ross being from Oklahoma…enough of them to make the jokes the entire focus of his afternoon.
–We tell you who Shawn Michaels was supposed to wrestle on this day.
–How Vince McMahon seeing a particular movie ended up as a huge break for an indy wrestler named Chris Chavis.

It’s a historic Wrestlemania for Johnny Mac and he’ll tell you why, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!

STICK TO WRESTLING…give us sixty minutes and perhaps indeed, we’ll give you a rawbone wrestling podcast!

Episode 176: “Horrors” Was The Right Word

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by Chris Zaucha, as we celebrate, or perhaps commemorate, the 30th Anniversary of Halloween Havoc 1991, one of the more controversial shows put on by WCW. We look at:

–The aptly named “Chamber of Horrors” match, with WCW becoming more and more of a poor man’s WWF.

–But there were good matches as well, such as Terry Taylor vs Bobby Eaton, and Steve Austin vs Dustin Rhodes.

–Rick Rude makes his debut, with Paul E. Dangerously as his manager. This has real potential.

–Didja know Brian Pillman was a walk on for Miami of Ohio’s football team? If you didn’t, Jim Ross told you twice..before Pillman and Ricky Morton even locked up. Twice. –

-Lex Luger has a really good main event against Ron Simmons and is starting to look like he might be able to carry this. Maybe.

–But it still feels like Sting should be the centerpiece of this promotion.

Plus Johnny Mac tells you what was planned for Abdullah The Butcher after he was fried in an electric chair during the Chamber of Horrors, so what are so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good bad boy!

Stick To Wrestling- give us sixty minutes and perhaps indeed, we’ll give you a wicked good and rawboned podcast.
