Wrestler, Host, Podcaster, & More - Meet Mac Davis!
Season 3
vendredi 7 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:41:14
The newest episode of The Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast with Bob Smith (former Pro Wrestling Illustrated managing editor) and Joe Puccio (Generation X-Wire.com) starts with a look back at wrestling's most entertaining "other" stars - the personalities that weren't in the ring or doing the announcing. From Lord Alfred Hayes to Joe Pedicino to Randy Hales to George "Crybaby" Cannon and many more, we take a fond look back at the "side people" who added so much to wrestling TV. Next: Meet Mac Davis, the dynamic talent behind the popular Road Trip After Hours podcast featuring WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long. Davis has already done it all as a wrestler, announcer and host - yet, we get the feeling much more is yet to come from one of the most personable people in today's wrestling scene. It's the new Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast - you'll get hooked on it!

An Outdated Exclusive: Howard Baum's Favorite Things!
Season 3
vendredi 31 octobre 2025 • Duration 01:28:42
One of of Bob Smith's (former PWI managing editor) favorite podcasts he's produced to date features the return of photographer/promoter/mat expert Howard Baum, who has done everything there is to do in pro wrestling. However, some have dubbed Baum a bit "cranky" or "ascerbic" - but we say bunk to that! Unlike any appearance he's made on a podcast to date, we present "Howard Baum's Favorite Things," where Smith gets Baum to speak about only the things he loves best about pro wrestling - which happens to be the grit, blood, and realism of mid-1970s promotions - which just happens to jibe with Smith's heart as well. Plus: Co-host Joe Puccio and Smith take a look at the future of Vice TV's influential Dark Side of the Ring series!
