May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752651 Happy to listen to this. I can now vouch for the fact that Kelly is a good conversationalist even when he's not doing a podcast.
May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752668 This is an awesome surprise. I cant wait to listen, ive been relistening to the backlog in the mean time. Thanks guys!
May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752688 This is great. Thanks, boys. Johnny pointing out McHugh's rolling of the Rs is money. That fucking McHugh constantly getting himself over.
May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752702 Really enjoyed the Stevens and Rocky Johnson bios so far. You could tell Kelly really dug researching the Johnson one.
May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752709 I managed to finish the whole archived shows during the GWE madness so when this popped up, I was beyond pleased. Johnny Sorrow for life!
May 13, 20169 yr comment_5752712 I've been a fan since probably 1980, and looking back, I'm thinking I was at least half retarded. I was the world's biggest mark for everything. I was 9 in 1982 and didn't realize how bad the Backlund acting was when he was crying about the belt. I was actually shocked and hooked. I bought everything hook line and sinker. Holy shit I'm an asshole.
May 14, 20169 yr Author comment_5752724 Loved researching Johnson. Such an interesting career that is overshadowed by his megastar son.

Holy shit I'm an asshole. Fuck that, Bro.If I had been 9 when I saw that I'd have totally bought into Bob yelling "WHY?"
