  • Wrestling Weekly: McMahon Family Chronicles, Championship Wrestling From Florida 3/10

    Back after a brief absence, Les and Vic will discuss the happenings in WWE and reminisce a bit about a great territory.  We’ll start with a unique experience Vic had earlier this week, then say a few words about the late Lord James Blears (7:17).  From there, Les will get some stuff off his chest (12:00) and we’ll turn our attention to the McMahon family soap opera, (18:54) both in front of and away from the camera.  The show closes with a ton of fun stories about what it was like for Les on his runs through Championship Wrestling from Florida,(44:07) meeting Gordon Solie for the first time, a record set alongside Wahoo McDaniel Les wanted no part of, who dished out some of the hardest chops Les ever took and more~!

  • Wrestling Weekly: Memories of the Stomper & Gordon Solie, Styles/Jericho greatness

    We’ll start the show this week discussing two men Les has great history with and fond memories of: The Mongolian Stomper Archie Gouldie, and the great Gordon Solie (18:41), whose 87th birthday would’ve been this week.  Then we’ll turn our attention to the AJ Styles/Chris Jericho match (36:17) and talk about why Les thinks it was a terrific match that may not be getting the credit he thinks it deserves.  We’ll segue into thoughts on the Royal Rumble and Raw (42:01), shed some light on how one of Jim Cornette’s favorite phrases came to be (51:04) and close things out by going into the mailbag (55:06).  Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
