The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith

It’s the return of a favorite guest – and a unique voice – as the OWH brings back the always honest Liam Savage (late of Front Row Material) for a return appearance. Bob Smith and Joe Puccio begin with a look at optically censored wrestling matches, followed by Savage and Smith recalling some of the most memorable “turns” in history – both face to heel and villain to good guy. If you're a wrestling fan of a certain age (ahem), this is a look back through mat history you'll find noplace else!

Howard Baum has been a major mover and shaker in pro wrestling for decades - he's been a photographer, a promoter, a podcaster, a writer, and much more. Niow - by popular demand, mind you - he returns to The Outdated Wrestling Hour for yet another conversation that, according to Baum himself, is "a bit dark" as he lays waste to today's wrestling, women's wrestling, the death of Kayfabe, and much more. And, but of course: Host Bob Smith (formerly of Pro Wrestling Illustrated) and co-host Joe Puccio (Generation X-Wire.com) take on several topics to get all the fun started on the latest episode of pro wrestling's most unique nostalgia podcast!
