Take a ride with wrestling legends as Mac Davis and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long dive into the world of professional wrestling with unfiltered authenticity. This episode finds our hosts buzzing with excitement about the upcoming SICW Fan Fest 3 in St. Louis, where Teddy will receive a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award from promoter Herb Simmons, a man who's been treating wrestlers fairly for over 50 years.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they dissect Dana White's controversial Power Slap league, with Teddy offering candid thoughts on the physical toll such entertainment takes on participants. "You put yourself in a situation of getting a concussion," Teddy notes, drawing from decades of experience in an industry where performer safety remains a contentious topic.
Their spotlight on Georgia's independent wrestling scene reveals gems like Skrilla the Great, Shoot Taylor, and Randy Reno – talent Teddy describes as "great guys to work with" who deserve broader recognition. This segues into industry news about Mercedes Moné's $100/month fan texting service and speculation about Bill Goldberg's rumored WWE return, potentially setting up a showdown with Gunther.
The highlight of the episode comes during the mailbag segment when Teddy shares the hilarious origin story behind Scott Hall's famous "Yo man" catchphrase, revealing it began as an impression of a muscular gym-goer in Oakland. He also drops fascinating tidbits about his own career, including getting fined $1000 for smoking marijuana during his WWE days and refereeing a 30-minute classic between Barry Windham and Brad Armstrong that left him "soaking wet" from the physical exertion.
These compelling wrestling tales showcase why this podcast continues to delight fans seeking authentic perspectives from those who've lived the business. Subscribe now and join Mac and Teddy next week as they prepare for their St. Louis adventure – or as Teddy warns with his signature charm, it's "one-on-one with the Undertaker!"
