Most listeners know that Bob Smith - the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine during the 1980s and 1990s - decided to bring The Outdated Wrestling Hour to The WrestleCopia Podcast Network.

Solomon, Rick Del Santo, "Mayor" John McCall, Dave Dynasty, Gene Jackson, and many more that Smith has welcomed to his show.

Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
The guest: Steve Keirn, the all-time great wrestling star who just published a new book: The Keirn Chronicles Vol. 2: The Phenomenal Wrestling Resurgence of Steve Keirn. Two books? With the life this man has had, we could use two or three more volumes from a performer who dominated the 1980s like few others - and whose influence carries on to this day.
The result: One of the most remarkable Outdated episodes to date, as Keirn takes us through everything from The Fabulous Ones through Skinner to today's mat world. He's one of a kind - and this is a singularly unique episode of wrestling's most off-beat nostalgia podcast!
