    Dave Meltzer returns to talk about the legacy and career of the late, Ole Anderson, who passed away at home last week at the age of 81. Dave and Chris talk about how Ole became an “Anderson,” and started teaming with Gene Anderson as “The Minnesota Wrecking Crew” in 1968. They talk about Ole’s legendary feud with the great Dusty Rhodes, and how he later ended up in the Four Horsemen with Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard and Ric Flair. They also discuss his career as booker and eventual owner of Georgia Championship Wrestling, including the debacle of the Black Scorpion & Sting angle, the secret (and hostile) takeover and purchase of the promotion by Vince McMahon and The Briscoes, and how Ole didn’t see the talent in Ricky Steamboat, Randy Savage or Hulk Hogan! They cover his time in WCW, and his difficult relationships with Eric Bischoff, Jim Barnett, Bobby Heenan, and Vince McMahon.

    Bruce Dickinson – The Afterglow Of The Mandrake Project

    Bruce Dickinson – The Afterglow Of The Mandrake Project

    Bruce Dickinson returns to talk about “The Mandrake Project,” his first new solo album in some 20 years! And of course, in true Bruce fashion, this “project” is so much more than just an album; it’s a comic book series and tour too! Bruce talks about the timing of the album, the meaning behind Mandrake, what it was like to work with guitarist Roy Z again, and how he managed to write and produce a comic book series at the same time (with a little help from “Sons of Anarchy” creator, writer, and director Kurt Sutter). Bruce shares behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the “Afterglow of Ragnarok” and “Rain On The Graves” music videos, including the role that Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” played, and the unexpected visitor that came to set one day.

    To The Extreme – Behind The Barbwire of ECW

    To The Extreme – Behind The Barbwire of ECW

    There would be no WWE Attitude Era, no AEW, and maybe no Stone Cold Steve Austin if not for Extreme Championship Wrestling. The legendary promotion owned and helmed by creative genius Paul E. Heyman completely revolutionized the professional wrestling business with its hardcore, violent and extreme style that encouraged crowd chants, the use of weapons, and multiple high spots per match. The Dudley Boyz, Bully Ray (aka Bubba Ray) and D-Von, Jerry Lynn, and Missy Hyatt relive some of their favorite moments and matches at ECW, and share tales about Sabu, Chris Candido, The Sandman, RVD, Lance Storm, Brian Pillman, and of course Paul E. himself!

Fozzy Is Jericho, The List! 🥂

Love the podcast! Chris just knows how to interview. Love the UFO, conspiracy, paranormal stuff, as well as his film & tv reviews. Made in wrestling but grown into so much more! He could have his own Mount Rushmore - Y2J, Fozzy, Podcaster…. We just need one more thing to conquer!

Up his own jeer

I used to really love CJ but I’m the last couple of years the dude really has gone all the way up his own backside.

It’s great being confident but there’s a point where it becomes completely unbearable

I’ve had to stop listening because we’ve reached that point.
