The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith
09/20/24 • 80 min
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 This kind of show is another reason that The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast remains an oasis for those looking for something new ...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!
