The show: The Outdated Wrestling Hour, hosted by longtime wrestling scribe Bob Smith (formerly managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated during the halcyon days of mat mags).

The guest: Steve Keirn, the all-time great wrestling star who just published a new book: The Keirn Chronicles Vol. 2: The Phenomenal Wrestling Resurgence of Steve Keirn. Two books? With the life this man has had, we could use two or three more volumes from a performer who dominated the 1980s like few others - and whose influence carries on to this day.

The result: One of the most remarkable Outdated episodes to date, as Keirn takes us through everything from The Fabulous Ones through Skinner to today's mat world. He's one of a kind - and this is a singularly unique episode of wrestling's most off-beat nostalgia podcast!

Remember when "Gentleman" Chris Adams' superkick meant sure defeat for his unlucky opponents? How about the times when Hulk Hogan's legdrop sent the bad guys home, vanquished and hurt? We do, too - so why are such classic moves now simply used as spots in a match - with. for instance, certain wrestlers using superkicks over and over again in the same match? Join host Bob Smith (formerly managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated) and the returning Joe Puccio (the busy wrestling writer with a hot new interview out now) as they bemoan the lack of continuity, common sense, and realism in too much of today's wrestling. Sure, these are two two veterans of the business screaming "get off my lawn" for an hour - but who else is gonna carry that torch except The Outdated Wrestling Hour?

Former PWI managing editor (and current Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast host) Bob Smith has been talking about it for two years: The mid-1980s Bruiser Bedlam TV series from the Indianapolis area featured some of the best wrestling that too few people knew about. Among the stars were Dr. Jerry Graham Jr., The Great Wojo, El Bracero, a young and hungry Scott Rechsteiner (who soon became Scott Steiner) - and an "All-American" babyface named Chris Carter ... whose heel turn Smith considers to be one of the best of the entire decade. Check out this new edition and hear Carter offer memories of legends such as Dick The Bruiser, The Sheik, Moose Cholak, and many others - and learn how a new breed of stars and booking turned an almost dormant territory in the WWA into a hotbed of big crowds and white-hot excitement - and you'll find out how you can enjoy many of these programs today!
