  • Hurts to listen

    It’s time to let it go. Dutch doesn’t remember anything anymore, and it’s a waste of time to listen. Repeats the same stories, forget names of close acquaintances, and doesn’t even remember major parts of his own career. Please consider memory care. Much love.

  • 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 129 | How Good Was Rick Rude REALLY?
Q: Michael asks how good Rick Rude was, in context of Hogan for a world title.
Dutch says Rude was good enough to contend for a world title with Hogan and credits his talker ability and cockiness as key factors; he also highlights Rude's toughness and potential to draw when promoted with pre-match build and backstage narratives.
Ask Dutch Anything 128 | Leaving Memphis
Q: Did you ever see a backstage feud between Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas, and did it make sense given their careers at the time?
Dutch notes there was mutual jealousy and competition over who had the better physique, but they never escalated to blows; the rivalry reflected timing, lineage, and body image dynamics in that era.
Ask Dutch Anything 126 | "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
Q: Dorothy asks if Dutch ever wrestled the Barbarian and wrestled stiff
Dutch confirms he did wrestle with the Barbarian and describes the physical bumps and the roughness of some exchanges, noting the Barbarian's tough, high-impact style while also highlighting how to sell and adapt to matchups.
Ask Dutch Anything 126 | "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
Q: Sam, from New York. Good day Dutch and James as always. Dutch did you ever refuse to work in a territory or a building because it was unsafe?
Dutch says he never refused to work in a building because it was unsafe; he would show up and handle the risk, and in many cases the workers backed off rather than cancel a show.
Ask Dutch Anything 125 | Jackie Fargo
Q: What's the most dangerous or impressive wrestling move you've seen, and how safe are these moves when performed by different performers?
Dutch notes that many power moves can be safe if the recipient knows how to take them and perform the counter-sell properly; the Frankensteiner, in particular, is safe when taken correctly, but risk increases with inexperience.
