I was watching a video of Cornette talking about the Patera Judo Joe Black. It would be cool if you did commentary for the Tom Magee Arn Anderson match.

You're still not harping on about that match and getting people to try and review it are you? There is a reason they've commentated on Patera against Judo Joe Black and Koko Ware against the Masked Patriot.

It would just be cool to hear Cornette's take on it.

Finally finished this. Loved the Polish Joe interview - sounds like working for the AWA in the 80s, while not financially lucrative, was an absolute blast. (My god, to be Curt Hennig in the Twin Cities in the 80s!) Also love hearing from older guys in the business who aren't super-bitter about the way wrestling changed in the post-territory days. Also an interesting perspective on Verne, who usually gets dumped on in shoot interviews and even in Dave's Observer obituary, as a person.

Yeah, just getting to these now but the Polish Joe interview series is fantastic- please continue to hunt down these unusual interview choices, they really stand out in a sea of bland everywhere else.

 

Also, the Piper 'that's not my dad!' bit had me in hysterics.
