    Closely followed by Stevie Richards!! Anyway loves Dutches style and stories from the past all makes sense he needs a hobby and that would be booking the NWA.

  • Getting Worse with commercials

    One star plus another for the mustache. Too repetitive and has run its course. Very surprised that a Brit would broadcast and support another hoodwinked right winged Trump nut. Bring back Don Muraco

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask Dutch Anything 123 | How BAD was Giant Baba?
Q: Why did the NWA never let Giant Baba retain the title long enough to do a North American tour?
It's suggested Baba was not effective as a draw in the U.S. whenever paired with the right opponent, and the decision-making centered on keeping audiences engaged with more marketable matches rather than strictly his in-ring performance.
Ask Dutch Anything 120 | Ask Dutch Anyting 120 | How Good Was Big Bubba Rogers?
Q: Dutch, did you ever wrestle Greg Valentine?
Dutch describes Valentine as a laid-back, professional veteran with a steady presence in the dressing room; he believes he likely worked with him but doesn't recall a specific match.
Story Time with Dutch Mantell 180 | The TNA Talent Purge
Q: What happened with Jim Ross and his health update?
Jim Ross was in the hospital for an extended period after feeling unwell, with friends and listeners offering support and prayers; the hosts note it as a developing situation rather than a concluded update.
Ask Dutch Anything 118 | Don't Hassle Randy Savage!
Q: Todd from Pigeon Forge asks about Ricky Morton and the NWA World Championship story; is it true they considered giving Ricky the belt?
Dutch confirms there was talk of a world title for Ricky Morton and explains it would have unbalanced the Rock and Roll pair by sidelining Robert Gibson, so they likely would not have gone through with it; the dynamic of team branding was crucial.
Ask Dutch Anything 118 | Don't Hassle Randy Savage!
Q: Next question, Bill from STL. Is Wrestling 2 the Bulldog Bob Brown of the South?
Dutch clarifies Wrestling 2 was more over with the crowd and draws compared to the older Bulldog Bob Brown, and discusses how top cards in Georgia played off crowd dynamics and rivalries to build heat for extended runs.
