This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by popular guest Ron Lemieux, and we revisit what was going on in the WWF 40 years ago, during the Winter of 1982! We discuss:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Jimmy Snuka makes his debut. He is doing a wildman gimmick, far different from his Georgia persona. Bob Orton Jr also makes his debut, and Blackjack Mulligan returns after a seven year hiatus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Jesse Ventura and Adrian Adonis are starting to team up. It had been a long time since two singles heels started teaming regularly in the WWF.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Speaking of Jesse, he and Tony Atlas had a “posedown” on TV, leading to an arm wrestling contest. You’ll never guess how that ended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Steve Travis and Rick McGraw form the \u201cCarolina Connection\u201d tag team, and the team gets over with the Northeast crowds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Bob Backlund and Magnificent Muraco are promoting their big match in Honolulu on New York’s WOR TV. Did they want New Yorkers to fly to Hawaii for it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

–Andre The Giant and Rick McGraw are challenging Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito for the tag titles, and WWF fans are getting to experience the \u201cDusty finish\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Plus Ron and Johnny Mac talk about the weirdest concerts they’ve ever been to, and John lists his top five football games of all time, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good bad boy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Stick To Wrestling- give us sixty minutes and perhaps indeed, we\u2019ll give you a wicked good and rawboned podcast.<\/p>\n
