Johnny P Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Happy to see this. We have a mutual friend, and I always hear positive things about him as a human being. He's also been doing RAW recap audio with Mike Johnson on PWInsider, and I've enjoyed their discussions. So I'm looking forward to this.

Bigelow34 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Randy Savage vs. the Ultimo Dragon? Diamond Dallas Page vs. Kensuke Sasaki? Lorenzo? It can only mean one thing. WCW B- and C-level TV. This week, The History of Wrestling Podcast is joined by former WCW announcer Scott Hudson to talk about the later years of WCW Saturday Night and Worldwide, the hidden gem matches, what went into producing the shows, and the talent. Graham Cawthon, Brad Stutts, and Dan McGinn discuss how weekly shows that were once can’t-miss became afterthoughts in the Nitro/Thunder era, the internal efforts to make them more meaningful, and the wide variety of names that walked through the doors in WCW’s later years. Follow Graham, Brad and Dan on Twitter at @thehistoryofwwe, @stuttsy, and @DMacP2B and use the hashtag #HoWPodcast if you wish to send them comments or questions. Every show the boys will present their Youtube Clip of The Week. This week’s offering goes back to a time when Worldwide was arguably the hottest wrestling show in syndication and the night the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express beat the Russians for the NWA Tag Team Titles.http://placetobenation.com/history-of-wrestling-podcast-3-wcw-b-shows-with-scott-hudson/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The history of the JCP / WCW TV in the early going is great. Graham and Brad know their stuff, and it's great that Hudson has such a passion and knowledge of the business. I honestly fucking loved this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Ewiak Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Mentioning Lorenzo w/out mentioning Fit Finlay vs. Lorenzo is kind of sad, since I remember the DVDVR reaction to that match. But, great podcast aside from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingPower Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Very fun listen. I wouldn't consider this essential in comparison to the shows with Naylor, Court Bauer, JJ Dillon, and Kris' historical piece, but it was a very good listen as a companion piece. Always enjoy the enthusiasm of Stuttsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
