Shrike02 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Happy to listen to this. I can now vouch for the fact that Kelly is a good conversationalist even when he's not doing a podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soup23 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Really enjoyed the Stevens and Rocky Johnson bios so far. You could tell Kelly really dug researching the Johnson one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElHijodeGorgeousGeorge Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I managed to finish the whole archived shows during the GWE madness so when this popped up, I was beyond pleased. Johnny Sorrow for life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkord123 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I've been a fan since probably 1980, and looking back, I'm thinking I was at least half retarded. I was the world's biggest mark for everything. I was 9 in 1982 and didn't realize how bad the Backlund acting was when he was crying about the belt. I was actually shocked and hooked. I bought everything hook line and sinker. Holy shit I'm an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Loved researching Johnson. Such an interesting career that is overshadowed by his megastar son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
