The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now heading toward its fifh year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about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The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour continues on with another look back with one of the great movers and shakers of the WWE’s “expansion era” with the return of special guest Ed Helinski, who was at the helm of the promotion’s magazine publishing division during the WWF Magazine era – which pretty much was at the same time when the organization became a worldwide force instead of a regional one. Here are stories of great stars from the 1980s, memories of what a busy tenure Helinski had in the Connecticut-based company (it was much more than just publishing), and even a sound clip from a certain Hall of Famer from the great editor’s personal collection. Get back to the 1980s with the new edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour – your weekly journey back in time to the great wrestling so many of us grew up enjoying!
