SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s Interview Classic from ten years ago (9-1-2016), PWTorch editor Wade Keller talked live with ex-WWE Creative Writer Matt McCarthy regarding a variety of current events on Miz-Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, and more, plus some 2011-2012 Daniel Bryan backstage stories, and memories of Mr. Fuji.
Then, a bonus interview conducted two days later (9-3-2016), PWTorch contributor Jim Valley hosted the “Saturday Morning Wrestling” Livecast with nostalgia topics and live calls, plus a live interview with Jeanie Clark, a/k/a Lady Blossom, who worked in multiple wrestling promotions on air including as a valet for Chris Adams and Steve Austin. She talked about her travels, her heartbreak, her addictions, and her recovery. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the 1980s and early ’90s territory days for a woman from England orienting herself to the pro wrestling industry and dealing with the ups and downs that came with that lifestyle.
