This week in the stereo on the roadtrip we’ve got Hammer Man on. Why? Because Monday is Greg Valentine’s Day of course! After many years, this was released in 2015 on the WWE: The Federation Era album. Some may say I’m posting this one a little early given that Valentine’s Day isn’t until Monday. This is your reminder that it’s […]

Uhhh…. what? Yes, Bob “Hardcore” Holly once used this as entrance music. Prior to becoming a race car driver (he once did actually have a shoot job as a mechanic), Bombastic Bob was “Hollywood” Bob Holly. He used the “Hollywood” moniker while wrestling as a heel for Roadshow-darling Smoky Mountain Wrestling when it started in 1991. The character was obviously […]

If you listened to the podcast you would know I’m a fan of the pair and Chigusa in particular. The Crush […]
This week (tomorrow as of writing) wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler will be celebrating his 72nd birthday. A wrestler reaching 72 is unfortunately a little rare given the rigours of the trade, but Lawler is an exceptional case in that he’s still wrestling and is still in reasonably good shape.
