Welcome back to Hardly Kayfabe. Join Chris Chavez, Johnny Townsend and Matt Johnson each week as they discuss everything pro wrestling: the matches, the story lines and the superstars that make the headlines and keep fans coming back for more.

Recorded during Hardly Kayfabe’s first Facebook Live episode, the guys welcome Empire State Wrestling pro wrestler Invincible Vince Valor. Together, they discuss Valor’s history with wrestling, his experiences working promotions throughout the Northeast, wrestlers he enjoys working with, as well as those he would love to face in the ring. The guys talk about all this and more on their first Facebook Live stream. NOTE: The first 9 minutes we experienced a slight audio issue, so there is an echo. But after that, it’s all good.

On this episode recorded a couple of weeks ago, Chris and Matt look back the storyline the brought together arguably the two most popular wrestlers in the WWF of the 1980s. The Mega Powers were a “super” tag team made up of Randy Macho Man Savage and Hulk Hogan. And though their partnership was brief, the story they told was one that would influence future angles to come.
