From there, the usual panel discusses what Jeff had to say and talk Global Force Wrestling and the possibilities and drawbacks of a new alternative.

Received the "Wrestling Record Book - Houston Programs 82-83" book for Christmas. Pretty quick read, but I recommend it if you're a fan of author Mark James' other projects. Starts off with an intro by James Beard, and a foreward by Tom Pritchard. I knew Houston was kind of an island when it comes to booking, similar to St. Louis, but this project really reinforces it, at least for the era covered. I didn't realize how much Boesch booked Nick Bockwinkel as AWA champion during this time. I knew Bock was a partner in Houston, but I thought Boesch recognized the NWA champion too. There's no shows with the NWA champion booked in 82-83, lots with Bock as champion, and at …

So from what I can see this seems to be a very popular show and has links with P2B: http://www.piledriverwrestling.net/index.php/audiomain/piledriver-wrestling-audio-show-weekly I've been listening to this show for a few years now but I honestly can't remember ever having heard either host refer to the background of Luke, who is positioned as speaking with a great deal of authority on the show... I saw someone ask them on Facebook to explain what his background was once, just so as people would be able to understand why his opinion is meant to hold so much weight... he's made allusions to having trained as a wrestler himself, I think possibly promoted some shows too... …
