On the Saturday May 17, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Keith Elliot Greenberg. Before obtaining a college degree at Queens College in Communication in journalism, this longtime pro wrestling fan began writing pro wrestling stories professionally at age 19. Since then, Keith Elliot Greenberg has become a noted pro wrestling historian, who is also a New York Times best-selling author. His illustrious work includes writing for WWF Magazine and penning the autobiographies of pro wrestling legends, i.e. “Classy” Freddie Blassie, “Superstar” Billy Graham and Ric Flair.

It is the story behind Wrestlemania III, told from the perspective of company executives, wrestlers who appeared on the card, fans who attended the show, and other wrestling personalities. Then, we'll meet writer, producer and director Bruce David Klein. His new film, “Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story,” about stage and screen legend Liza Minnelli premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews. The Hollywood Reporter called it a "gorgeous portrait", Deadline called it a "must-see", and The Wrap said it is "delightful." We'll talk about the movie, Liza and find out what makes the film a truly terrific absolutely true story.

She's arguably the greatest female wrestler of all time and she'll argue she may be the greatest wrestler of all time, period. As Becky Lynch has adopted the moniker of “The Man," the Irish born performer has become one of the hottest wrestlers in the history of WWE. On this episode of Going Ringside we go back to an interview we did with her in 2019 where she talks about the origin of her nickname “The Man” as well as some thought on Ronda Rousey and John Cena.
Let's have some fun this week looking back at a retro pro wrestling magazine.

A new shady character has shown up in the WWF and we find out what is known about Razor Ramon. Plus, Curt Hennig, Rick "The Model" Martel, and The Undertaker!
We cover and tabulate Vince McMahon's lies, pretend to be teenage girls writing to Shawn Michaels, and inexplicably talk about George "The Animal" Steele!

In this free preview clip of our new deep dive Patreon special on Superstar Billy Graham's early 1990s legal and media battles with the WWF, Kris and David look at the fallout from Hulk Hogan singling out Graham for a shot on The Arsenio Hall Show. We play clips from Arsenio as well as Graham and Shults reacting to the interview on Inside Edition, as well as looking at just how much of the WWF scandals from that era can be traced to Hogan's aforementioned disastrous Arsenio appearance.To hear the whole show, you need to become a Between The Sheets patron at the $5/month level or higher by going to Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets.-----Full show description:We're back to take a deep dive into Superstar Billy Graham's battles with the WWF in the early ‘90s, complete with a lawsuit and all sorts of media coverage. Topics include Graham's initial media onslaught in 1990 and how it was noticeably less hostile than his later interviews, how his various health problems relate to his steroid abuse, the trial of Dr. George Zahorian and how it got the ball rolling on everything else—including Hulk Hogan bashing Graham on The Arsenio Hall Show, Graham announcing his lawsuit and then not filing it for nine months, Graham really ramping up the venom as the ring boy scandal hits and quickly losing his credibility with a bizarre accusation against Vince McMahon the night before they appeared on The Phil Donahue Show, Graham admittedly being geeked up throughout the Donahue taping, the insane Graham hit piece in WWF Magazine and the most likely reason why there were no follow-ups, the quiet end of the lawsuit, Graham's carnyness in general, the attention being paid to the drug allegations compared to the more serious ones, and much more.

Podcast on a Pole is a monthly episodic podcast, looking back at wrestling's Monday Night War, through the eyes of one's of its biggest influences, Vince Russo. As the head-writer as both the WWE and WCW, Russo was involved with some of wrestling's most famous segments, featuring the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, DX, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Goldberg, the NWO and more.This episode picks up where the first episode left off, with Vince Russo working as the editor of WWF Magazine. It wasn't long into 1996 before he was the editor of the hugely popular and innovative Raw Magazine - a concept that was the brainchild of Russo himself - which he has credited as the catalyst behind the ‘attitude era.' While discussing Raw Magazine's most famous covers and articles throughout 1996, we delve into all of the most significant stories of the year. This includes Shawn Michaels title run, the formation of the NWO, the return of the Ultimate Warrior, the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin, the evolution of Goldust, the signing of Brian Pillman and much much more. As you expect from Vince Russo, he pulls no punches while maintaining his ‘truth and nothing but the truth' ethos, subsequently giving you the most in-depth, revealing and informative look at 1996 - one of the most significant years in wrestling history - that you've ever heard.@TweetsOnaPole@THEVinceRusso@DirtySheetscom@LingusMafiaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This premier episode touches on his early years - including his education, hobbies and goals - before moving on to his time owning video stores, which would lead to some very interesting brushes with WWF talent, who would make appearances in his stores. With Blockbusters taking over the video rental game, Russo was looking to move on, and it wouldn't be long before the wrestling world would be introduced to a guy by the name of “Vic Venom.” We discuss how everything came to fruition - from his wrestling radio show in the early 90's, his first initial run-in (and heat) with Dave Meltzer, a life changing letter to Linda McMahon and how he went from a $150 freelancer to the head-writer of WWF Magazine. But this isn't your standard chronological journey through his life up to 1996, with a plethora of stories along the way, we guarantee more than a handful of dirt sheets headlines- just from this episode alone. Whether it be Jake the Snake's jealous eyes, Dave Meltzer's mindless ignorance, Sable's painted boobs or Diesel's cheesy smile, you can't afford to miss this opening show.@TweetsOnaPole@LingusMafia@DirtySheetsComAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
