Les Thatcher and Vic Sosa return to talk Ivan Koloff, one of Stan Hansen’s classic matches, answer your mailbag questions, and more on today’s Wrestling Weekly!
After a little wacky northeast weather talk which leads to some road stories, we’ll spend a few minutes talking about Stan Hansen (9:06) and a match Stan himself ranks high on his personal list of favorites: a clash with Andre the Giant that took place in 1981 for New Japan.
We’ll discuss the news regarding the health issues of the Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff (17:52) and the addition of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express to the WWE HOF (26:10). A few quick thoughts on the late Tom Drake (33:44), and then it’s onto the mailbag.
We take your questions on rebranding Impact Wrestling (36:40), the best athletic background to have when entering pro wrestling training (41:34), should the Rollins/HHH Mania match be built around Rollins’ injured knee? (45:35), how much credit HHH deserves for NXT if its most popular stars were created elsewhere (49:58), Ron Fuller (55:12), if Les could’ve picked a city and an opponent for his retirement match what would he have chosen? (59:11), and how has the type of person looking to be trained for wrestling changed in the years Les has been training wrestlers? (62:22)
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
