We're joined by Steve Collins, AKA The Celtic Warrior, for The Rocky Road St Paddy's Day special 2023. Steve talks about his amateur days under legendary coaches Maxie McCullagh, Peter Glennon, Tony Davitt and John McCormack, the Collins/O'Rourke boxing dynasty and why he too had to fight, the shock of losing his father at an early age and the power of perseverance. Because, just as it took him three world title shots to win his first one, it also took him three Irish senior finals to be crowned king in the amateurs, too. But the pros were always the aim and, following a trip to the USA with Ireland in 1986, he caught the ‘Greyhound' bus (more on that inside) to Boston to join the Petronelli Gym alongside Marvelous Marvin Hagler and never looked back. It's 35 years this week since Collins fought old amateur foe Sammy Storey for the Irish middleweight title at the now torn-down Boston Garden (the only time the BUI belt was fought for in the USA). There's no video footage online, though Steve and fellow TRR guest, Mike Culbert (who made his pro debut on the card) claim they've dusty old VHS copies – somewhere. Steve also tells a hilarious story about meeting the mayor of Boston during the St Patrick's Day parade after the bout, and, er, Whitey Bulger, why he never gave Storey a rematch and why he admired Hulk Hogan so much, who took on Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania IV in that same month of March 1988. Finally, we discuss the Irish boxing GOAT and where he fits in the conversation, and we look ahead to the Katie Taylor v Chantelle Cameron undisputed title fight in Dublin on May 20 and wonder if Steve's experiences v Chris Eubank in 1995 can offer an insight into what Katie's going to be feeling in the lead-up to her homecoming. Every past guest seems to get a mention here: Sean Mannion, Gerry Creighton, Dave ‘Boy McAuley - it's an episode, all right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At Wrestlemania IV, WWE presented a 14-man tournament to crown a new champion following the controversy that came about during Andre the Giant's victory against Hulk Hogan at the most watched wrestling show in American history, The Main Event. Hogan, Andre, Ted Dibiase, Greg Valentine, Ricky Steamboat, One Man Gang, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts and others lined up in the tournament in an attempt to win the belt, but Randy Savage would rise above them all, beating 4 men in one night and not only winning the big one, but in the process setting up the main event of the following year's event. The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Stephen, Alex and Tinky.

The 1998 Survivor Series (subtitled Deadly Game) was the 12th annual Survivor Series professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF; WWE as of 2002). It took place on November 15, 1998, at the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Fourteen professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card, a noticeably higher number than most pay-per-view events because the main focus of the card was a tournament for the vacant WWF Championship. It was the first tournament held with the WWF Championship on the line in ten years, the last being at WrestleMania IV. Both tournaments were 14-man tournaments instead of the regular 8 or 16-man tournaments. Aside from the tournament, two other championship matches occurred: the first defense of the WWF Women's Championship since it had been reactivated and a triple threat tag team match for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This event was also the first Survivor Series not to include any Survivor Series elimination matches, although the notion of survival is apparent in the knockout tournament. The only other Survivor Series event without any Survivor Series matches was in 2002, which saw the debut of the Elimination Chamber match, a match type also based on survival. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/samuelkinsella/support
