The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat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 Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous mat 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: It’s a “rush release” this time out, as the weekend before the scheduled podcast date, Smith and Puccio learned of the passings of a legend and a current famous grappler: “Superstar” Bill Dundee and The Butcher of AEW fame. Smith and Puccio talk about the career of The Butcher – who was just as famous in another career – before Smith welcomes back fellow podcaster “Mayor” John McCall to talk about Dundee, one of the biggest stars in the history of Memphis wrestling. Join us in paying tribute to these two men on the newest Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast, available wherever you get your shows.

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now heading toward its fifth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about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The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour welcomes back former Ring Of Honor owner (and organization Hall of Famer) Cary Silkin, who now ranks as the newest voice in our series of popular “My Favorite Things” podcasts. Smith marvels as Silkin – who has been part of the pro wrestling scene for literally decades – recalls memories about his indoctrination into the sport and life inside it later that are both singular in scope, yet accessible enough to thrill listeners who’ll likely compare their own experiences to his. It’s the new Outdated Wrestling Hour: Nostalgia from people who know the sport best!

The Topic: The prolific historian and award-winning journalist Ian Douglass is back – and this time, he has a new best-seller in Only Built for Turkish Links: The Turkish Invasion of American Pro Wrestling – once again tackling a period in mat history that most writers haven’t covered, or in most cases don’t even know existed. It’s another wide-ranging conversation as Smith asks Douglass not only about this current book, but also about another title that may (or may not) be released soon. It’s great books and a great writer on The Outdated Wrestling Hour – which leads off with Smith and Puccio taking another look at the amazing WWE Vault on YouTube and more!

The Topic: Most older wrestling fans remember former NWA World heavyweight champion Lou Thesz – but we think we’ve found something about this all-time great that many fans aren’t aware of. Our special guest is podcaster Jon Boucher (hear him on Outlaws To Independents with Beau James), who talks about how fans can see Thesz in a role that has pretty much been lost to history. Plus: Joe Puccio discovers something about Ric Flair that’s new and quite intoxicating; more about ice cream favorites; and some words SummerSlam – it’s new and old on the new Outdated Wrestling Hour, available at all the best podcast apps!

The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour continues on with another look back at how much pro wrestling has changed since the 1970s and ’80s – and this time, it’s pretty amazing to see just HOW much everything has been altered. From refereeing to interviews to basic matches, fans somehow went from cheering the bad guys getting disqualified to “This is awesome!” long before a match has started. This podcast marks the first time Smith and Puccio have been in the same room since late in the spring – and the duo tells all about it in an episode we’re dubbing “The Outdated Outpatient Hour”!

The Topic: It’s a “look back with fondness” once again as The Outdated Wrestling Hour welcomes back podcaster Steve Gennarelli (Stick To Wrestling With John McAdam) for a second special edition on some of pro wrestling’s underrated stars – the grapplers who thrilled us that time seems to have greatly forgotten; the undercard workers who usually greatly aided every show they appeared in; and others who were way better than history might suggest. It’s another look back in to the 1970s and’80s on The Outdated Wrestling Hour – a veteran fan’s guide to the fun we all used to have in the old days!

The Topic: It’s a “look back with fondness” once again as The Outdated Wrestling Hour welcomes back co-host Joe Puccio for a discussion on wrestling’s toughest stars – the grapplers who were not only outrageously fierce inside the ring, but who proved they could be every bit as rugged outside of it as well. From world-traveling superstars to leathery veterans who stayed in one organization for the majority of their careers, these were truly wrestlers who could take it as well as they could dish it out. Who did Smith and Puccio choose as their choice as the toughest? You’ll have to listen to The Outdated Wrestling Hour to find out!
