Wrestling history comes alive as SICW Fan Fest 3 takes center stage in this captivating conversation with special guest Nick Rittenhouse, a 35-year veteran promoter from St. Louis. Joining WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and host Mac Davis, Nick unveils exciting details about this year's expanded two-day celebration of wrestling heritage on May 16-17 at the Airport Hilton Hotel in St. Louis.The spotlight shines brightest on Teddy Long himself, who'll receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award during the weekend's festivities. This honor comes alongside the induction of wrestling legends Ox Baker, Greg Valentine, Crusher Blackwell, Butch Reed, and Ivan Koloff into the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame. The star-studded lineup of attendees features iconic names like Kevin Von Erich (who Nick reveals was born just across the river in Belleville, Illinois), Nikita Koloff, Buff Bagwell, and Missy Hyatt.Nick treats listeners to a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from 1987 when Mr. Fuji and Kim Duk abandoned their luggage in the street to chase down local kids who pelted them with rock-filled snowballs. This glimpse into wrestling's colorful past perfectly sets the stage for what Fan Fest promises – authentic old-school wrestling that, as Nick puts it, "you don't get anywhere hardly anymore."The episode wraps with Teddy answering fan questions, sharing stories about cherished wrestling memorabilia, and participating in a name association game that reveals personal connections with wrestling personalities from Tajiri to Paul Heyman. Wrestling fans won't want to miss this fascinating preview of what promises to be the must-attend event of the year for lovers of wrestling tradition and history.Send us a text

Ever wonder what really happens behind the curtain in professional wrestling? WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long pulls back the veil in this captivating episode of Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours, sharing stories that only a true industry veteran could tell.The conversation kicks off with breaking news about Mick Foley's recent car accident - a crash so severe that looking at the wreckage, you'd assume the worst. Yet somehow, the Hardcore Legend walked away with minor injuries, proving once again why he earned his infamous moniker. Long and host Mac Davis marvel at Foley's resilience, a testament to a career built on surviving the impossible.Long shares priceless memories of managing legendary tag teams like Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed), including the hilarious origin story of Simmons' iconic "Damn!" catchphrase - born when Long accidentally left him standing in the snow during a road trip. These authentic moments of camaraderie and chaos showcase the human side of wrestling rarely seen by fans.Perhaps most fascinating is Long's perspective on how wrestling has evolved - particularly lamenting the disappearance of managers who once played crucial roles in getting talent over. "When I was managing, I had more heat than the guys," Long reveals, pinpointing what many believe is missing from today's product. His Mount Rushmore of wrestling managers (Gary Hart, Skandar Akbar, Bobby Heenan, and Lou Albano) serves as a reminder of how these personalities once shaped the industry.Whether you're a longtime wrestling fan or new to the squared circle, these insider stories provide a rare glimpse into wrestling history from someone who truly lived it.

OK, not every match was a banger. But what exactly made that show in Pontiac, Michigan so special? And why did it so thoroughly reshape the industry? Friend of the show Keith Elliot Greenberg joins us to discuss his new book, BIGGER! BETTER! BADDER!: WRESTLEMANIA III and the Year It All Changed, in stores now.

Next we got the battle of the so-called billionares. A hair vs hair match featuring a bald guy. It’s Bobby Lashley vs Umaga from … Continue reading Koko B.

Tim and Rich flashback to Texas in 1984. Tragedy had struck the Von Erich family in February when David Von Erich was stricken with an intestinal illness and passed away while on tour in Japan. Fritz, the patriarch and promoter of World Class Championship Wrestling assembled a super card in his honor with the main event being Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The card is sprinkled with other familiar faces, like Kamala the Ugandan Giant, The Fabulous Freebirds, Butch Reed, and the rest of the Von Erich clan, including Fritz, who returned to the ring to defend the family's honor. This was an emotionally charged show with great action and one of the loudest and passionate stadium crowds we've ever seen on this show. Thanks for listening!

This Thanksgiving weekend on the Take It Home Podcast, John LaRocca reviews WCW's Clash of the Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder! This event featured some good matches, but many head scratching booking decisions by booker Ole Anderson.  Clash XIII famously gave us one of the worst matches on US television between Sid Vicious and The Nightstalker.  Ric Flair is once again put in position to have a show saving match and he and "Hacksaw" Butch Reed are up to the task.  Join the Patreon for just $5.00 per month here: https://www.patreon.com/fightgamemedia Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemedia Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950 Follow our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fightgamemedia Subscribe to our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/c/FightGameMedia Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia Learn more about your ad choices.
