Excited with two release forms we can get two Backlund cards.  Personally, I think Chad should've sent it in triplicate. That way we could get the prime Bob this year, Mr. Backlund in Prime, and eventually a 2018 Japan Tour "Old Man" Bob (I say that with all due respect knowing Mr. Backlund is probably still in better shape than I am). In all seriousness, I am thrilled with the Bob we got, but would certainly not turn down a future card with different art and altered stats should the occasion arise. Maybe if we ever get that Bret signing... |

One correction, Backlund and Harley Race had a "home and away" series in MSG and St. Louis, not two matches in MSG. Wanted to make sure we were accurate in our discussion!

Really fun conversation you two. No need to worry about me asking....I get too tongue tied.

I am very early into this podcast (listening to it now while posting some COTG results.)
A couple of early notes,
Heather Monroe is indeed now based in Florida. She left CWFH and moved there I think about 2 months ago. Heather is also indeed originally from Iowa. I wrote Des Moines as the billing on her CWFH card because that is where she got announced as being from in CWFH but I think she is actually from Altoona (not sure how far Des Moines is from Altoona.)
Fernando Valenzuela Jr., he actually played First Base for my school UNLV. I remember he got drafted by the Padres but I am not sure what happened to him afterward either other than I know he was playing in Mexico for awhile.
I should finish this podcast tonight.

Chad is always a pleasure to talk to and listen to. I'm sad though he didn't mention the Hillside 'Strangler' Motel in his Galacticon memories. 😉
He did mention Steve Williams beating Monolith at Galacticon, which was me. The year Monolith was released I beat him in three different tournament with three different people. Dr. Death, Nick Bockwinkel and Thunder. Tom even signed my Dark Menace book, begrudgingly I might add, "To the Monolith killer" from Tom... oh, the memories!..!

Very excited for tonight's reveal
I quit listening to the Cornette podcast because I don't want to listen to his hatred of current wrestling. But I could listen to him talk about the 80s for hours, I watch anything I can of his on the Highspots network Kayfabe commentaries interviews.
I've also got the Gary Hart book. It's the only book I have that I won't even let friends borrow to read!

I listen to the snippets from when he talks about old wrestlers but yeah between that and politics (I just don't want to hear politics from either side) I stopped listening to his full podcasts.

Altoona, IA, is a suburb of Des Moines. I don't remember if Fernando Jr. was on the Beloit Snappers or the visiting team. This would have been in 2005, maybe? |
