The day was March 30, 1987. Hulk Hogan was still on top of the world as he had just beaten his biggest foe ever (literally and figuratively) the day prior at the historic WrestleMania III in front of 93,000 people at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan. His opponent however, now billed at more than 500 pounds was entering the last phase of what had been a larger than life existence in every sense. Andre Roussimoff was only 40 years old when he lost to Hulk Hogan. He had lived a life that was really unprecedented in the human experience. He had massive size, yet travelled in airplanes and on long car drives daily for decades in the grueling life of a professional wrestler.

This week, the guys are joined by author Dave Rueter, who wrote Kayfabe: A Love Story, a fantastic look at the insane world of professional wrestling as if it were real life. Because kayfabe is alive and well, brother. Dave takes us through his journey, some behind-the-scenes stories of how the book came to be, some of his favorite stories, and much more. If you have a taste for the 80s and early 90s nostalgia of professional wrestling, press play! Get your copy of Kayfabe: A Love Story here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1735637041/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= "On February 5th, 1988, former World Wrestling Federation Champion, Hulk Hogan, made a damning allegation. He accused "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase of fronting the bill for a desperate man's risky and invasive procedure: facial plastic surgery to look like referee Dave Hebner. And I believed him. Paying homage to 1987's WrestleMania III, Kayfabe: A Love Story is a collection of 87 essays written in an alternate universe where professional wrestling isn't scripted, and the match results aren't predetermined.
