September 11, 2026 Episode 430: Seinfeld’s Nutshell
This week the STICK TO WRESTLING Universe welcomes Lou Kipilman as it’s guest, and we take questions from our listeners!
— Did Bobby Heenan spoil the surprise when Hogan came out and he asked “Whose side is he on”?
— What might the old Mid-Atlantic territory looked like had it not been for the 1975 plane crash?
— If the WWF wanted to keep the tag titles on the British Bulldogs while Dynamite Kid recovered from his injuries, who would have been the third member?
— What if, in 1987 when he was basically a free agent, Ted Dibiase moved to the NWA and not the WWF?
— Same question applied to Randy Savage.
— We do the “Bruiser Brody in the WWF thing” again, but with a different voice and opinion.
Plus we take kind of a deep dig into Jay Youngblood AND week look at the infamous Pete Crow-Armstrong for Javier Báez trade, so are you waiting for? Download it, fire it up, and join us for another wicked good episode of STICK TO WRESTLING.
