Don't understand why you aren't behind James Caan as Bruno, perfect casting imo, because James Caan looks enough like Bruno to carry the essence of him. If he bulked up a bit, you'd totally buy him as Bruno.

 

I wonder if Pete is thinking about Bruno now and James Caan now ... I'm thinking about Bruno from the 70s and Caan from the 70s.

Party's over, grandpa. You can have your pablum and P's & Q's, but nostalgia will only take you so far. Sure it appeals to your fellow bell-bottom-wearing, Three's Company-watching hippies, who revel in their glory days, but if you want to build a bridge to the future wrestling fan then you need a wrestling fan, who can speak today's vernacular and relate to their wrestling woes and ills. You need someone with Animal Magnetism to make all the men pack their ear buds in and all the women swoon. You need someone with a melodious and dulcet voice that will be filling their ears with aural candy. You especially need somebody with some HAIR!!! You need...you need..Reading that back, nobody my age would understand that promo so I guess you don't need me. :P

 

So keep on churning out the awesome podcasts with or without me. This was a fucking blast. Though, I do look forward to my triumphant return to Titans of Wrestling to discuss...well that is Kelly and mine's secret. I'll be back to discuss Tito/Martel/Steamboat later this afternoon.

He looks like Jay Leno.
