On Bob Smith’s first “solo” podcast since the first year of The Outdated Wrestling Hour, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated (and a former writer for WCW Magazine, Wrestling’s Main Event, and many more titles) takes a break from the show’s usual format to focus on little-known wrestling events, facts, places, and people that continue to make the mat sport the fascinating business that it’s been for decades. From eateries you might not know about to star wrestlers taking on new professions after retirement, it’s a bunch of things that aren’t exactly common knowledge – so enjoy this whimsical edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour, the most unique nostalgia show you’ll find anywhere!

You probably wouldn’t expect a conversation about The New York Knicks’ stunning rise to a championship on a pro wrestling nostalgia podcast – but that’s exactly what happens on the latest episode of The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith (the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine), and we’ll explain why. Smith – a former legitimate newspaper sports writer who covered Knicks basketball – talks about his days being a hoops journalist, and how the reaction to the team’s rise has been absolutely stunning on many different levels. But that’s not all: Smith and Solomon discuss how, decades ago, pro wrestling could draw passion from the fans the same way the Knicks have … but that seems to be ean ra that has come and gone for good. Join us for the new edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour – which once again proves to be the thinking person’s old-time wrestling podcast!

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.

The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour continues on with our “My Favorite Things” podcasts featuring popular guests – and this time, one of the show’s friends and frequent voices, Anthony Pires, returns with another edition that’s as simple as it is enjoyable. Host Bob Smith asks about 15 simple questions: “Who is your favorite wrestler?” “Who was the best bad guy?” Pires, as always, is not at a loss for words as he delivers his fondest memories in his singularly entertaining fashion. It’s the latest in a series of shows that’s been going over like gangbusters – so keep tuning in to hear the next one of our favorite guests reveal the things he or she grew up watching (and loving)! Plus: Smith tries to stump Puccio with old school wrestling facts he thinks Joe might not know - but do you? Listen and see how you match up!
