Send us a text It’s the first episode of season three of The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine – and we’re penciling in this edition as the unofficial second “Introducing” feature on the popular mat nostalgia show. Back in the day with PWI and the London Publishing family of magazines, Smith was tasked with writing the “Introducing” feature in each edition of The Wrestler magazine, and it was one of his favorite duties. “I’ve always enjoyed giving young talent a chance to be heard from,” said Smith. “We helped introduce a lot of young stars in the era of wrestling mags – now I’m getting a new chance to to it all again.” Late last year, Smith introduced Kayla Sparks to mat fans all over the globe as she makes her comeback – and now, the longtime scribe welcomes The Even Stevens tag team – comprised of Steven Azure and Steve Somerset – to the OWH for the first time. Fans will hear all about how hard it is for new wrestlers to learn their crafts; the raging success of the Create A Pro wrestling school in New York; what it feels like to be belted by Becky Lynch (seriously!); and much more from one of the most talked-about (and funniest) tag teams on the East Cost indie scene. It’s not only a look at a pair of charismatic new stars – it’s also an education in the wrestling business like you’ll hear nowhere else.

Send us a text Former PWI managing editor (and current Outdated Wrestling Hour podcast host) Bob Smith has been talking about it for two years: The mid-1980s Bruiser Bedlam TV series from the Indianapolis area featured some of the best wrestling that too few people knew about. Among the stars were Dr. Jerry Graham Jr., The Great Wojo, El Bracero, a young and hungry Scott Rechsteiner (who soon became Scott Steiner) - and an "All-American" babyface named Chris Carter ... whose heel turn Smith considers to be one of the best of the entire decade. Check out this new edition and hear Carter offer memories of legends such as Dick The Bruiser, The Sheik, Moose Cholak, and many others - and learn how a new breed of stars and booking turned an almost dormant territory in the WWA into a hotbed of big crowds and white-hot excitement - and you'll find out how you can enjoy many of these programs today!
