How Wrestling Has Changed - It's The Outdated Outpatient Hour!

The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith

About

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now heading toward its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.

The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour continues on with another look back at how much pro wrestling has changed since the 1970s and ’80s – and this time, it’s pretty amazing to see just HOW much everything has been altered. From refereeing to interviews to basic matches, fans somehow went from cheering the bad guys getting disqualified to “This is awesome!” long before a match has started. This podcast marks the first time Smith and Puccio have been in the same room since late in the spring – and the duo tells all about it in an episode we’re dubbing “The Outdated Outpatient Hour”!
