We break down: Hogan's early life and his motivation for success; Hogan's foray into professional wrestling; Hogan's development in different territories; Hogan's impact on sports entertainment, and; The difficult balance between nostalgia and controversy Whether you grew up saying your prayers and taking your vitamins or you're discovering the story for the first time, this episode has something for every wrestling fan.

Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and opinion columnist, critiques the media's refusal to assign a leftist political motive to their latest would-be assassin targeting President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, contrasting today's "anti-reality" with facts people would rather not face. The episode also explores a shift in U.S.-UK relations over the Falkland Islands and Dean's New York Sun review of the Netflix Hulk Hogan documentary, examining the blurred lines between public persona and private truth. Plus, President Trump makes the obvious case that a bump in oil prices is a lot cheaper than having to rebuild cities that Iran nukes if they get The Bomb.

This week on Legends & Champions, we're heading to Boston for Survivor Series 1993 — a turning-point PPV where the New Generation era truly began to take shape. The Hulkamania shadows were fading, new stars were rising, and the WWF was trying to prove it could evolve without its biggest icon. We dig into everything from the All-Americans vs. The Foreign Fanatics — and the backstage drama that led to Luger replacing Hogan as the patriotic torchbearer — to the legendary Hart Family vs. Shawn Michaels & His Knights showdown, featuring Brett's master-class storytelling and the seeds of an epic family feud. Plus: Undertaker in the stars-and-stripes, Doink-filled chaos, and the kind of early-90s WWF weirdness that only Survivor Series could deliver. Was the event a bold new chapter or an awkward transition? We break it all down — the matches, the promos, the politics, and how this PPV set the stage for the mid-90s revolution to come. Dust off the tassels, fire up that Coliseum Video nostalgia, and join us for a deep dive into Survivor Series ‘93. Legends & Champions — Where wrestling's legacy lives and legends never fade.
In this week's Interview Classic episode from ten years ago (11-5-2015), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by "Jumpin'" Jim Brunzell, a longtime standout tag team wrestler in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the AWA High Flyers and the WWF Killer Bees. He discusses Verne Gagne as a boss and promoter, the dynamic with Verne and his business partner Wally Karbo, the rise of Hulk Hogan in the AWA and the birth of Hulkamania, the fall of AWA after Hogan left, the culture shock of the 1980s WWF grind compared to the AWA, observing the rise of drugs and alcohol, steroid abuse, one-sided WWE contracts, why Vince McMahon never fully embraced him and the Killer Bees tag team, today's wrestling scene, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.
