The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour features Bob Smith, the (somehow still sprightly) former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine as he takes a look back at the history of Pro Wrestling as only he can deliver it.
The Episode: This special edition is the first "Yay Or Nay" episode - as special guests Anthony Pires (you know him from PW Insider) and Liam Savage (best known for Front Row Material) get some hard questions from Bob ... and all they have to do is answer Yay Or Nay. From old school wrestling to today's star's, it's an all-emcompassing yet enjoyable conversation - the likes of which you can only hear on the OWH. BONUS: Bob Smith waves goodbye to the NWA ... even though there's still something called the NWA out there. Find out why!

The Show: Always looking back in fondness about pro wrestling the way it used to be, Bob Smith (PWI, WCW) offers a perspective unlike anyone else in the wrestling nostaglia genre. This time out, Smith presents a guest who he's wanted to have appear on the show since it began...
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 This kind of show is another reason that The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast remains an oasis for those looking for something new ...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!

Most listeners know that Bob Smith - the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine during the 1980s and 1990s - decided to bring The Outdated Wrestling Hour to The WrestleCopia Podcast Network. On this special edition of the OWH, Smith brings on WrestleCopia founder Ray Russell as the pair discusses the array of productions on the burgeoning network - but there's a lot more to this show. Listen in as Smith and Rusell talk about the trevails of being a podcaster; WWE's slick productions on TV; WWE's move to Netflix; the advantages of being a wrestling "tool"; too many championships; AEW's recognition problem; the demise of the NWA; the pair's love of wrestling magazines - and that's just the tip of the iceberg in the type of freewheeling, anything-goes conversation that's become the Hallmark of The Outdated Wrestling Hour!
