Vincent Price Lives ,

Great nostalgic podcast

A nice blend of history, humour and analysis of one of the more interesting periods of 90s pro wrestling. I could have watched this era again but Tim, Dave (and sometimes John) have made it more interesting with their insight and sense of humour. Keep it up!
