    My two favorites of all time. I was one of the unfortunate ones and was introduced to Greg Valentine at the tail end of his WCW career. Yet even then, when he wasn't being positioned very well on the card, he jumped off the screen at me. I remember so well the first time I saw him walk out in his robe and he went to a 10 minute TV draw with somebody. I immediately turned to my dad and said that's my new favorite wrestler. You can't teach the IT factor. These two are the two greatest workers to ever lace em up

    Greg Valentine looks the same as he did in 1982. I think Greg is really Thor.

    I remember hearing this podcast from when it first aired a few years ago (Ric's first podcast with Conrad). Classic interview with two legendary wrestlers, and well worth the re-listen! I love the behind-the-scenes stories...it gives you a better insight into the business, and most of them are hilarious!

    This is the best stuff., Them talking about the old timers. Conrad, calling greg Mr. Valentine adds a lot to it, showing that southern difference to his status. I could listen to this 1 million times. I haven't watched wrestling in 20 years. this is better than anything.

    Roy Shire brought Ray Stevens to San Francisco in 1961. Ray made his last appearance for Shire in 1980. Ray also held the Cow Palace attendance record until Elvis broke it in the 1970s.

    The Hammer was probably the most underrated wrestler of all time... should've been NWA Champion at some point before he came back to wwf in 85,86? cuz wasn't his legendary dog collar match w/Piper in 84 or 85?
