Any fans? I've given it a go a few times. He seems to know his stuff on 80s territories and whatnot, but his bumbling, meandering way of expressing himself can be grating. And I'm not overly interested in hearing about his shift patterns in the Georgia PD....

We're back with the most heated SCG Radio thus far, as a judge, prosection and defence debate whether or not Triple H is guilty of indecent overexposure, and if his conspiracy to manipulate the system was a detriment to the wrestling business. We take your comments, and a full range of topics are covered in this one, which was a great deal of fun to do - let us know what you think. http://squaredcirclegazette.podbean.com/mf/web/ay7qrj/SCGRadio6-TheTrialOfTripleH.mp3

The Kevin Kelly Show Episode 13 – Featuring Mike Mondo

I saw that a new edition has been released on the Kindle so I immediately downloaded a copy. I remember seeing it offered at a Scholastic book sale in my teens and not picking it up, thinking the old timers beyond my interest. I've regretted it for years. The new edition has forwards from Thesz's wife and the author explaining the process. They've admitted some errors and inaccuracies. (But the effort is frankly more than welcome given some autobiographies I've read). So how well does the book hold up for those familiar with the material? And what is the modern perspective of Thesz as a wrestler?

Received my copy of this yesterday. You can find it at http://www.memphiswrestlinghistory.com/awa60s.html. It was put together by Mark James and George Schire. Pretty basic layout, with the results chaptered by year. There's an image of an arena program from that year to start the chapter, and a recap of the title changes of the year, but otherwise it's the results. I'm a big AWA fan from the 80s, so I found this pretty cool. If you're into results, I think it would be up your alley. If you're looking for stories or tales of the AWA, this isn't the book for you.

It has been a couple of years since we did a podcast, but Eric and I chopped it up for about an hour.
