May 23, 201411 yr comment_5604448 Always enjoy the insight Kevin brings in these things. You guys have a natural easy-going chemistry anyway, so yeah. Makes for entertaining conversation. Loved the stories about first meeting Hogan & Linda towards the end. Classic.The "nostalgia era" thing is something I know JR's been pushing. I honestly don't remember it kicking into overdrive with mainstream pop culture until about '04, but I like the theory and definitely see how one could connect the dots that far back. Another good one, guys.

As much as everyone kids Scott, love to get someone who actually is older to compare when stuff from the '50s and '60s became popular in the retro vein that JR is talking about the 80s and 90s for comparison purposes.
May 24, 201411 yr comment_5604487 It'd be real neat if Scott took up the Campbell Challenge & tackled a few lucha and/or puro matches, then recapped his thoughts and perceptions of 'em. Might be interesting to hear "first impressions" from someone with plenty of actual viewing experience.
May 24, 201411 yr comment_5604541 The nostalgia thing was definitely going on in late '02 and early '03. This was my freshman year at Ohio State and there was a huge clusterfuck with the OHSAA and St. Vincent's-St. Mary's Lebron James over a Washington Bullets Wes Unseld throwback jersey.
