Johnny Mac is joined by frequent co-cost Steve Generelli, and we have a casual discussion about old school wrestling!<\/p>\n

We talk bad main events at small shows in upstate New York, people we hope are alive and not in prison, ditching Junior High Spring dances to see attend pro wrestling events, how many live events the hosts have attended, Stan Stasiak getting exposed, bad wrestling surprises, getting \u201csmartened up\u201d a bit, the best and worst live shows we’ve ever attended, long nights attending television tapings and the \u201cdark matches\u201d that were part of them, Ric Flair finally joining the WWF in 1991, the rumor about Greg Valentine winning the WWF title, Vince McMahon and Harley Race meeting in a bathroom, bad and sad memories as a fan, missed shows we regret, pro wrestling magazines vs newsletters, early pay-per view experiences, the greatness of Terry Funk, the badness of Papa Shango, the mid-90’s rise of WCW and who landed on their feet when it fell, Steve Austin’s early potential, and more!<\/p>\n

We also talk about Homeowner’s Association Presidents who dated Rick Rude, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!<\/p>\n
