    Good guests and the tone is easy going with a genuine love for the wrestling we all miss. It’s nostalgic for the past but not angry about it. A great listen.

  • Eh

    I enjoyed Bob on STW so I thought I’d give the Top 100 80s a shot. I made it to Bob’s Tito Santana. It’s hard for me to listen to a guy rank the Top 100 when he doesn’t remember if Tito was an IC champion in that decade. Maybe I’m being over critical, but this just stuck in my craw.
