Ricky Jackson Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/pwo-retro-bruno-vs-larry Greatest Feud Ever What happens when recording podcasts becomes increasingly difficult? (honestly, only for the once great Chief Jay Historian, Kelly Nelson) It's time for reruns! Join us for the debut of a new concept: periodic dives into the PWO archives, which date back to that distant age, 2012! First up is a pod originally released in 2014 as Best of Titans of Wrestling Volume #2: Bruno vs Larry. Relive the earliest days of the famed Titans of Wrestling podcast! Bad audio! Crazy James! Some Brit named Parv! Holy crap, this was six years ago! Oh yeah, also enthusiastic gushing over the great feud between Bruno Sammartino and Larry Zbyszko from 1980 WWF!!! (and Kelly's intro is from 2014 btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
