Our Halloween Episode: Mat Happenings That Really Scared Us!

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now heading toward its fifth year in a few weeks – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.

The Topic: Bob Smith and Joe Puccio celebrate Halloween Week with a collection of moments in wrestling history that actually scared them both as young fans and as journalists who worked in the industry. From violent mat villains to bad injuries to shocking statements to an array of over-the-top incidents, greats of the game such as Mad Dog Vachon, Fred Blassie, Abdullah The Butcher, Sid Vicious, and many more earn their stripes for providing literal thrills and chills to mat fans. It’s the new, dressed-in-black Halloween edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith … watch out for flying bats while listening!
