The loons take over the asylum and crush it. It's the wrestling podcast for people who hate wrestling podcasts but love wrestling...and love 1980 TV. Tune in and have auditory Jesus Juice fill yer ears.

Parv?

And Parv

Ah, no Parv for the show. Glad to see he eventually recovered from his ordeal. Thought those sirens we heard in the background were for his ambulance. Yeah, those double shots must have been hell with the long drive in between shows. Pete being all harsh on Dominic! Glad Kelly didn't back down and stood by Denucci. We do need a Ernie Ladd bio. Kal seems to really dislike higher education. Maybe he was just ahead of the times of people spending ridiculous amounts of money on tuition. Loved the fantasy booking with Bob Crane and Kal. Rudman would have been a riot to drink with. Guess I didn't miss much from the matches on show other than commentary. Great words about Bruno.
