October 20 2006 Figure Four Daily
Larry Matysik of St. Louis Wrestling returns today for a one-hour discussion on pro-wrestling — and MMA — past, present and future. I originally booked Larry because he made a comment that the Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock program was booked almost exactly like they used to book programs for Sam Muchnick’s territory in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. We’ll discuss that, plus a number of other subjects including: how pro-wrestling has evolved and seems to be evolving; the Bruiser Brody book that is currently being edited; some funny Bruiser stories; a potential St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame; the return of Vince Russo as a booker; his thoughts on Angle’s return; the 1982 Ric Flair/Gene Kiniski/Dick the Bruiser program that had remarkable similarities to Tito vs. Ken; run-ins and screwjobs in pro-wrestling and why they’re no longer effective; and TONS more. Plus we’ve got a news update looking at the finalized line-up for the PRIDE PPV in Las Vegas tomorrow. A packed show!

Buddy Wayne returns today to talk a myriad of wacky topics. We’ll discuss our match for New Revolution Wrestling last Friday (and check it out if you’re in the Gresham, OR area as Buddy returns tomorrow), including thoughts on the horrible ring; why indy wresting in Oregon is so great; Buddy’s memories of Joey Maggs and Brian Pillman, both of whom he worked with; the rib Pillman played on the locker room one afternoon; his weirdest payoff (hint – a gram of coke) and the circumstances surrounding that one; the time he broke the ring with Playboy Buddy Rose (including audio of the incident); why wrestlers have historically had such bad fashion sense; and tons more. A fun show as always!

We’re joined today for a rapid-fire 10 minute interview with Carlos Newton, coach of the IFL Dragons team, who will be facing Renzo Gracie in late December at the Mohegan Sun. We’ll discuss how he got into fighting, living in Japan for two years, fighting Sakuraba, Anderson Silva and Matt Hughes, using a SIDE HEADLOCK to beat Pat Miletich, and more. We’ve also got a news update with the latest on the health status of the legendary Sputnik Monroe.
