Episode 355: MulletMania

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING, Dr. Nick Coliadis joins the show as we take a deep dive into WrestleMania XI—an event that took place thirty years ago! We cover:

–Why this show ended up at the Hartford Civic Center, which was not exactly a premium venue.
–Was this the worst WrestleMania of all time? (Spoiler: Not even close.)
–How Lawrence Taylor could’ve handled the pre-match hype a bit differently.
–Mullets were about a half-decade out of style…unless you were a pro wrestler, apparently.
–Jeff Jarrett: the king of big pushes with minimal results.
–Why it being 1995 (not 1985) was very bad news for Lex Luger.

Plus Dr. Nick does some drooling over Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy, so what are you waiting for? Smash that play button and dive into another wicked good episode!

STICK TO WRESTLING: Give us sixty minutes, and perhaps indeed we’ll give you a rawboned weekly classic wrestling podcast.

Episode 222: The Human Victory Cigar

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by popular returning guest Alfred Sumrall and we discuss the top ten wrestlers of 1997. On the bill:

–Shawn Michaels wasn’t universally beloved, but he was entertaining outside of the ring and amazing inside of it. Was he Number one?

–Hulk Hogan also wasn’t universally beloved, but he held the WCW world title for all but two weeks of 1997. Was he Number one?

–Was Bret Hart Number One? He has has quite a case.

–By the end of the year Steve Austin was the hottest star in the wrestling business since Hulk Hogan. Was he Number one?

–The Undertaker is not likely to be ranked Number One, but he may have been the WWF’s Most Valuable Player in 1997. Where does he rank?

–As Ric Flair’s career winds down, at least theoretically, does he make the Top Ten in 1997?

Plus there’s a long extra innings post show segment where Alfred and John discuss the upcoming NFL season, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!
