Happy anniversary to me! This month's episode (94) of GKOSRT is a special one as I relive breaking into the business and my first match, April 16, 1993 in Lucedale, Mississippi. www.buzzsprout.com/1997141/epis...
As discussed on Ep 93 and also on Tony's Time Tunnel on MSWA 1985, spring featured so many tag team headliners, including this Houston Easter Sunday banger.
This should have been a buddy comedy.
SWCW 1981. Relampago Leon vs. Billy Robinson, who I think is billed as European champ. Joe Blanchard & Scott Casey on the call. Joe calls RL the Lightning Lion about a dozen times.
It was late 1952 as TV changed wrestling for the 1st time. Houston vs. Dallas for control of Texas Rasslin'. In June 2026 the story is told. The Texas Rasslin' War(s) of the 1950s.
Film Otsego's next film festival Shock-Toberfest is looking for a few good horror shorts. Priority will be given to New York filmmakers or those who are able to attend the festival. Submit on Film Freeway. Reach out to me with any questions.
Episode 93 of GKOSRT looks at the career of 1 of the best workers in the business, Dennis Condrey.
Tony Richards & I talk about so much more than the Midnight Express, including what he thinks was the first cake angle, way back in 1980. Check it out here. www.buzzsprout.com/1997141/epis...

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.”
F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)
Are you ready for some rasslin'? We're talking Texas Rasslin'!
Happy library of Congress Day to my next book, The Texas Rasslin' War(s) of the 1950s. See you in Iowa in July!
Trump's playbook has a name: Strongman takes power
Crushes govt, buys the media & controls the arts
It worked for Putin, Orban & Erdogan

As discussed (briefly) on this week's pod. Sometimes Willie G. & Jack P. are the best of friends. Other times, like this June 25, 1960 letter, well ... From the Jack Pfefer Collection at UND's Father Ted Hesburgh Library
Just sitting here, watching the Oscars, fingers crossed that we don’t have a reason to make a “Where’s Wallace?” joke later tonight. We all know where Wallace should be.

I got a private deal on 3 Houston Wrestling programs from 1953, filled with autographs. Two were from Sept. 4, 1953. And ... I now appear to own two autos from Whiskers Savage.
Steve Johnson found some 1948 PAN wrestling magazines from LA and sent them out to the IWC historians on his list. There were some great Dizzy Davis pages within. Also, how would you like to meet for a drink at O'Mahoney's Irish Whip?
