Shrike02 Posted May 13, 2016 Report 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.
Eegah Posted May 13, 2016 Report Posted May 13, 2016 This is an awesome surprise. I cant wait to listen, ive been relistening to the backlog in the mean time. Thanks guys!
bkord123 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Posted May 13, 2016 This is great. Thanks, boys. Johnny pointing out McHugh's rolling of the Rs is money. That fucking McHugh constantly getting himself over.
soup23 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Posted May 13, 2016 Really enjoyed the Stevens and Rocky Johnson bios so far. You could tell Kelly really dug researching the Johnson one.
ElHijodeGorgeousGeorge Posted May 13, 2016 Report 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!
bkord123 Posted May 13, 2016 Report 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.
Ricky Jackson Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Posted May 14, 2016 Loved researching Johnson. Such an interesting career that is overshadowed by his megastar son.

conker8 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 Some infos on the Buddy Rose video in the comments :
Superstar Sleeze Posted May 19, 2016 Report Posted May 19, 2016 "That's called academia." It's funny because it is true. Killed me just now.
Ricky Jackson Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Posted May 19, 2016 One of the best lines uttered by anyone ever on Titans
