Phenomenal freaking episode, guys. Just a good time with the gang, packed with plenty of interesting discussion and a couple truckloads of laughs.

 

Johnny's impersonations are always on the mark, but mygoddamngod. His Gordy is EPIC. Instant win with that one.

 

Really dug the praise for Hayes, too. We don't hear about him and some of the great stuff he did in his "prime" often enough. Guy had a legitimate aura and presence about him that just told you he was born to be a performer. He had charisma to spare and enough showmanship to share with half the state of Georgia.

 

The ball-busting felt right - all in good fun and partially overdue. Teddy was far from his finest hour here, and everyone should 'preciate ripping and roasting Uncle Elmer. That being said? I fully expect Parv to carb up and come back with guns a blazing the next time he sits through a bad Backlund match or something.

Damnit, that was supposed to be a babyface shine segment on Parv not a heat segment. Damnit, I don't know if we heeled ourselves or if Parv is too damn likeable. I cant believe there is clamor for a Parv babyface comeback on my hero and yours, Bob Backlund. :)

Great episode. Yeah, I don't have much of a Boston accent. Comes out on certain words and at certain times. Never heard the Tim Kurkjian one before. As long as I don't sound like Bob Ryan that's a great thing in my book!

Always happy to do these specials and can't wait for the next time I am called upon.
