The Lou Thesz Moment You Never Saw - Until Now!

The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith

About

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat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 Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous mat 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: Most older wrestling fans remember former NWA World heavyweight champion Lou Thesz – but we think we’ve found something about this all-time great that many fans aren’t aware of. Our special guest is podcaster Jon Boucher (hear him on Outlaws To Independents with Beau James), who talks about how fans can see Thesz in a role that has pretty much been lost to history. Plus: Joe Puccio discovers something about Ric Flair that’s new and quite intoxicating; more about ice cream favorites; and some words SummerSlam – it’s new and old on the new Outdated Wrestling Hour, available at all the best podcast apps!
