On the latest edition of The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith (former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated) and Joe Puccio, it's yet another returning guest as writer and editor Oliver Lee Bateman of the amazing website The Ringer returns for another "No Notes" show - Smith and Bateman simply say hello and take off on a coversation that hits today's WWE and AEW; recent big events; youthful nostalgia as Bateman fondly recalls 1980s WWE; Three Stooges pie fights; the amazing books and articles that Bateman has been involved during just the past few weeks; and much more. As always, Puccio offers his views on the current state of mat mayhem, as well as his two cents about, well ... where is our wrestling going to be on TV next? It's the most decidedly different podcast in wrestling, week after week.
