January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580735 I have lived in Tampa since I was little but moved here in 91 so I was all of 5 years old. I wish I was a teenager living here in the 80s but then again I miss Chicago so it'd be a hard trade
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580737 Im with Allan on this one - a brilliant idea for a podcast. Cant wait to give this a listen.
January 18, 201411 yr Author comment_5580739 All props to Johnny Sorrow for the idea. Props to Johnny P for knowing a shitload about cities we have discussed doing and props to Meanie for being fucking AWESOME!!!!

Props to Johnny P for knowing a shitload about cities we have discussed doing and props to Meanie for being fucking AWESOME!!!! I'd love to do one for Wrestling Eye for the UK cities, but I really would struggle due to the size of the UK and really, yes area's have history, but not to the same extent as in the US.
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580759 Can't wait for the Detroit one! Who is coming on to talk Motor City graps? I'm loving the Philly show that I'm more than two hours into. I love all the audio the people on this board is producing!
January 19, 201411 yr Author comment_5580771 My buddy Brent is doing Detroit with me. He grew up there and has some great stories including attending Mania 3 and the Ron Garvin title win. I tried to book the Steiners but they got all roid ragey on me.
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580786 Both John and the Meanie have been awesome for pushing this on social media. Both guys are great. Very popular first show!
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580788 My buddy Brent is doing Detroit with me. He grew up there and has some great stories including attending Mania 3 and the Ron Garvin title win. I tried to book the Steiners but they got all roid ragey on me. I didn't make Mania 3 but I was at the SNME at the Joe that set Mania up that saw Andre headbutt Hogan out of a battle royal. I didn't attend the Garvin title change but I was at the Halloween Havoc in 95 when the Giant was tossed off the Cobo Roof, Flair turned on Sting, and the Giant came back and along with the Yeti humped the life out of Hulk Hogan in one of the most homoerotic moments in the history of pro wrestling. Sabu and 2 Cold Scorpio had a pretty sweet match on a June of 97 RAW that didn't feature either Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels because of whatever crap was going on between them at the time. There has been all kinds of great moments that have come through Detroit Hogan dropping the strap to Taker which I was at Survivor Series. The Hogan/Flair retirement match at I believe Havoc 94. A SummerSlam at the Palace in 93. Stone Cold driving the Zamboni to the ring at JLA. Mania 3 and the Mania from Ford Field which had the battle of the billionaires that saw Vince get his head shaved. I saw a killer Sabu/Cactus Jack match in Inkster in October of 94 that Meanie was on as Brian Rollins in a prelim at my first Indy match and Sabu match after hearing so much about him. Going to an Insane Championship Wrestling show and seeing a brawl out into the parking lot between Ric Matrix and Tex Monroe that saw them set a car on fire and a fire truck needed to be called to the scene. I'm probably forgetting a bunch of other Motor City goodness. Detroit has a pretty sweet wrestling culture and I look forward to hearing it discussed on your show!
January 19, 201411 yr Author comment_5580791 Bro, you are writing my outline for me. Good stuff. Also, for the record, I did not try to reach out to the Steiners.
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580794 New York. Much New York. Happy to help in any way to make that one happen. But it has to happen. Understandable if you want to extend it to NJ to account for the NWA shows, Manias 4/5 and 29 and of course Summerslam '97.
January 19, 201411 yr Author comment_5580802 The old TV show? Oh wait... Providence is a town in some county.
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580804 What a dick. Where the hell else are we gonna discuss the Nitro when Eric Bischoff opened the show sitting on a motorcycle!
January 19, 201411 yr Author comment_5580807 HAH! Well, when we do San Antonio, we get to talk about a half hour of the Night Cap talk show.
January 19, 201411 yr comment_5580814 I'm looking forward to hearing this. My boy Johnny is always a hoot. I think he does more impressions than the BWO did.
