The Guest: ...Dr. Jerry Graham Jr. (Jerry Jaffee), who as a wrestler, manager, and behind-the-scenes force, brought Dick The Bruiser's Bruiser Bedlam and the longstanding WWA back to prominence in the mid-1980s. Graham Jr. knew talent, and he saw something special in youngers like Chris Carter, Denny Kass, and a certain newcomer by the name of Scott Rexsteiner - soon to become a legend called Scott Steiner. Learn things you never knew about not only Graham, but also about Bruiser, The Sheik, and why the WWA was the most successful territory that far too few fans knew about. This kind of show is another reason that The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast remains an oasis for those looking for something new ... that's actually old!

Veteran writer and podcaster Bob Smith (former PWI managing editor and writer for WCW Magazine and Wrestling's Main Event) has met a lot of unique people since starting The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast (available at all podcast apps and YouTube) - but perhaps no one as different as Luke Jennings ... who hosts a series of wrestling podcasts on Hamburg WWWF matches and Memphis wrestling ... and he does it all from the UK! Jennings is a unique and pleasing individual who joins the long list of wrestling podcasters such as John McAdam and Steve Gennarelli, Brian R. Solomon, Rick Del Santo, "Mayor" John McCall, Dave Dynasty, Gene Jackson, and many more that Smith has welcomed to his show. "I think we should grow the nostalgia podcast community rather than compete," insists Smith - and when you hear Mr. Jennings on this show, we think you'll agree.

The Result: "This show is really an eye-opener," said Smith following the recording of his interview with Douglass. "Ian is a journalist first and foremost - the writing is so incisive that you'd think you were reading a book about a famous politician or movie star. The work on the Keirn book is the best wrestling writing I've read so far in 2024. On top of all that, this might be one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, in or out of sports."
The Verdict: Smith believes he's bringing his listeners onee of rising stars of sports journalism. Read Douglass's books and see if you are!

The show: The Outdated Wrestling Hour, hosted by longtime wrestling scribe Bob Smith (formerly managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated during the halcyon days of mat mags).

The guest: Steve Keirn, the all-time great wrestling star who just published a new book: The Keirn Chronicles Vol. 2: The Phenomenal Wrestling Resurgence of Steve Keirn. Two books? With the life this man has had, we could use two or three more volumes from a performer who dominated the 1980s like few others - and whose influence carries on to this day.
The result: One of the most remarkable Outdated episodes to date, as Keirn takes us through everything from The Fabulous Ones through Skinner to today's mat world. He's one of a kind - and this is a singularly unique episode of wrestling's most off-beat nostalgia podcast!

Remember when "Gentleman" Chris Adams' superkick meant sure defeat for his unlucky opponents? How about the times when Hulk Hogan's legdrop sent the bad guys home, vanquished and hurt? We do, too - so why are such classic moves now simply used as spots in a match - with. for instance, certain wrestlers using superkicks over and over again in the same match? Join host Bob Smith (formerly managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated) and the returning Joe Puccio (the busy wrestling writer with a hot new interview out now) as they bemoan the lack of continuity, common sense, and realism in too much of today's wrestling. Sure, these are two two veterans of the business screaming "get off my lawn" for an hour - but who else is gonna carry that torch except The Outdated Wrestling Hour?

Former PWI managing editor (and current Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast host) Bob Smith has been talking about it for two years: The mid-1980s Bruiser Bedlam TV series from the Indianapolis area featured some of the best wrestling that too few people knew about. Among the stars were Dr. Jerry Graham Jr., The Great Wojo, El Bracero, a young and hungry Scott Rechsteiner (who soon became Scott Steiner) - and an "All-American" babyface named Chris Carter ... whose heel turn Smith considers to be one of the best of the entire decade. Check out this new edition and hear Carter offer memories of legends such as Dick The Bruiser, The Sheik, Moose Cholak, and many others - and learn how a new breed of stars and booking turned an almost dormant territory in the WWA into a hotbed of big crowds and white-hot excitement - and you'll find out how you can enjoy many of these programs today!

Bob Smith traveled the country covering pro wrestling for Pro Wrestling Illustrated - but he states strongly the best time he ever had was covering the USWA in Memphis in 1991. Like other fans, Smith - now the host of The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast - was a huge supporter of the legendary Channel 5 wrestling on Saturdays hosted by the incomparable announcer Lance Russell. On this special edition of the OWH, Smith welcomes Shane Russell, the son of Lance Russell, who recalls so many stories about his Hall of Famer father that we don't have room to list them all here. Tune in for pure nostalgia as Smith and Russell take you back to the days of the Mid-South Coliseum and Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, Lance Russell, Curt Hennig, and all the legends that the mat world will never forget!

This edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith (former PWI managing editor during the 1980s and 1990s) brings back a concept that was a smash hit upon its conception - expert rankings for an entire decade of pro wrestling stars.

It’s the longest OWH podcast to date, but there’s not a second wasted; it’s an in-depth look at the stars and moments that made the ’80s one of the sport’s most important decades. So - who’s #1? Who is in the Top 20? The only way to find out is to listen!
