WRESTLECOPIA WELCOMES BOB SMITH AND THE “OUTDATED WRESTLING HOUR” PODCAST TO THE BRAND! BELOW IS A MESSAGE FROM BOB FOR ALL THE LISTENERS, FOLLOWED BY A TEST EPISODE FEATURING BOB’S RECENT APPEARANCE ON THE WRESTLING MEMORY GRENADE.

A MESSAGE FROM BOB…

You know, I’m just like anyone else. Despite my “accomplishments,” I’m constantly wondering: “Is my podcast any good? Does it measure up to what else is out there?” I think I found my answer through Ray Russell, with whom I came to an agreement this afternoon to be part of The WrestleCopia Podcast Network.

I’ve been trying to do something different with this podcast, to not only make it miles away from a previous project, but to put my own stamp on something different. We’ve only been on the air since January of last year, but already the experience has been worth it. Not only have I been able to spend time with some old friends after more than a few years, but I’ve also been able to make some great new ones. I hope the enjoyment we’re having with our All New! All Old! podcast translates to our listeners out there.
 
I’m joining to WrestleCopia thanks to Ray’s efforts – and because we want to keep spreading the word about unique wrestling podcasts. We also want to have FUN. Huge thanks to Ray Russell, and to everyone who has listened up to this point – especially our fan club members, who are great people, every one of them.
 
Onward and upward.
