Dylan Waco Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkC...2658&cmd=tc AND WE R BACK! The missing Maritimes show, re-done! Bigger, Better, Crazier! Dave, myself and special guest Andrew Lacelle cover the whole gamut of Maritimes wrestling history, from the Carnie circuit to racist promotional tactics to The (REAL) Cuban Assassin to the great Leo Burke to Rip Rogers and all spots in between. Dave does some great historical rundowns, Andrew compares Grand Prix to Memphis and I have an on air orgasm talking about Bobby Bass. Metric tons of fun. Maybe my favorite show yet.

vedhead Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hey sorry this took so long to reply, I just wanted to say that this was a terrific listen for someone who grew up watching Grand Prix (I am the same age as Lacelle, give or take a year or two) it is always interesting to hear about things you remember from childhood and how it stacks up now that you are an Adult. One thing that someone (forgive me for forgetting) mentioned that I think is pretty vital, is that the Maritimes maybe more so than most places really connects with the idea of the 'Local Boys'. I think that predilection towards supporting Hometown boys really did have something to do with the Cormier family's success. They were so successful and so clearly hometown boys that the natural urge to support our own really helped them. The fact that they were great workers helped too obviously or else it probably would have been a little less feverish (In the late Nineties reboot of Grand Prix The Beast was still getting good to great reactions [on PEI at least] even though he was extremely old looking and not really able to work much) So yes in closing on this rambling post this is a great podcast and deserves to be listened to big time. Oh also No Class Bobby Bass was still the best Mic worker I have ever seen live as of 2003. He is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Waco Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Dave has uploaded some Montreal footage as a precursor to our eventual show on the subject. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just found this on youtube. Pretty good tag. It's just a glimpse of Pettipas but you can see the talent we talked about on the Maritimes podcast. This also features Bobby Bass in the best get up ever, ranting about the athletic commission conspiracy against his men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Enjoyed this show even though I've never seen or even heard of most of these Maritimes guy. "The animated gif generation" is a pretty nice label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
