  • 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 132 | Why Puerto Rico Collapsed
Q: Could you explain the NWA consent decree of 1956 in depth?
Mantell says the NWA had a monopoly over territories and worked together to exclude competing promoters. He says the decree did not stop those practices in reality, describing how members blocked him from finding work after he joined an outlaw promotion.
Ask Dutch Anything 132 | Why Puerto Rico Collapsed
Q: Why do you think Puerto Rico wrestling, after kind of after you left in the early 2000s, why do you think it never ever recovered?
Mantell says the territory needed a booker who stayed on top of the product. He credits his own booking, television stories, and Savio Vega's heat with drawing strong ratings and sellout crowds, and says the format kept audiences ready to return the next week.
Ask Dutch Anything 131 | Barry Orton, Wendell Cooley & Ricky Gibson
Q: What memories do you have of Rick Gibson and the early Rock and Roll pairings?
Dutch notes Rick Gibson's role and explains how the Rock and Roll Express became over after pre-appearances and strong presentation, with emphasis on promotion and storytelling.
Ask Dutch Anything 131 | Barry Orton, Wendell Cooley & Ricky Gibson
Q: How strong did you have to be to perform moves like suplexes and body slams, and what happened with heavier opponents?
He emphasizes that raw strength isn't the only factor; matchcraft, timing, and safety are critical, and Cameraderie with opponents matters more than brute power.
Ask Dutch Anything 131 | Barry Orton, Wendell Cooley & Ricky Gibson
Q: What was the inside story about why Barry Orton became Barry O in the WWF?
Dutch explains that Vince didn't want him publicly tied to the Ortons, so Barry was marketed as Barry O to keep family connections quiet while still leveraging his talent.
