Leo Burke on CBC 1998

By that time though he had been wrestling over 20 years and was more akin to Bret's age in WCW. Any footage you catch of him from 1980 through about 1986 will show that he is much more like Bret Hart came to be. Although the promotion sucked at the time, Leo as heel champ in 1984 Maple Leaf was pretty great. He was throwing leg lariats at that point and could really move.

If you read "Heroes and Icons" it's apparent that he has a great mind for assessing the greatness of wrestlers like Pat O'Connor and Buddy Rogers. People outside of the Maritimes are shocked to learn that he ever could have worked as a heel, but having watched a lot of the footage that is out there it is arguable that he is better suited as a heel. And he was great as a babyface.

Had a blast doing the show again tonight

Ah Dylan, you would just be entertaining watching the matches in sync

Oops, saw this a little late

I wanted to do the show tonight but I feel like death.

Garvin was active in Puerto Rico in the fall of 1988 at the same time that he was in the AWA. He was WWC Universal Champion at the same time that he was AWA TV Champion

In Episode 36 of the Wrestling Culture podcast, Dylan and I are joined by Pat Laprade and Bertrand Hébert, authors of "Mad Dogs, Midgets and Screw Jobs". It is a fantastic book on the history of wrestling in Montreal and we couldn't be happier for these guys. A fantastic chat with two gentlemen from Quebec, please check out the show and more importantly check out the book Wrestling Culture Episode 36

Thanks for listening and kudos on your board-name

That was definitely five stars, I liked that he pointed it out to me sort of like "Dave, as someone who likes to eat you will understand this..."

Is that your finisher? "The Texan Rib" Everyone knows in Texas, a rib isn't a joke... it's dinner. Plus, my finisher would be the Belt Buckle. Since you are from Texas I thought it would be an intestinal virus, toxic shock syndrome or and indictment for possession of pain killers

This Dancing Terry meets Dancing Teddy

Finally got my computer going again so I can chime in on this thread. Thanks to everyone who listened to the show. And there is one crucial piece that I wanted to add during the show to decide the debate but didn't get to: Who had the best guest interview segment? 1) Funker's Grill 2) Flair For The Gold 3) King's Court My money is actually with the Funker on this one

This would main event any Wrestlemania for me
