Great!

I grew up in the Chicago land until 80’s. Loved watching AWA every weekend, all the characters were great. Da Crusher, Bobby Hennan, Bockwinkle & Stevens. What a great time in my let and so many great emerging stars..

Thanks

Thanks!

Enjoy this a whole lot. Thanks for doing it. Love the banter, the stories, and the memories.

No more Party, no more Marty

Having Jannetty on was a mistake. He’s been erratic and unbelievable for years. That decision resulted in 90 minutes of rambling, pitiful trash. Your production value is always marginal, but you’ve had great shows in spite of it. Brunzell was the high point. But having Jannetty on despite his recent lunatic ramblings and clear impairment was a total waste. Should have made like Verne and taped over that episode.
