The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.

The Topic: In the aftermath of WrestleMania 2026 – which was in turns absolutely thrilling and vastly disappointing – we’ve called all hands on deck for another special episode. To lead things off, Smith and Puccio look back at their picks to win the two-day extravaganza’s matches, and offer their views on the PLE. That’s before Steve Gennarelli of the Stick To Wrestling Podcast With John McAdam returns to the studio with one goal in mind: To try to dissuade Bob Smith from giving up today’s wrestling altogether. It’s an in-depth look at the premiere mat event with a decidedly “outdated” point of view!
