Joe Versus the World #72: WWF 1995 Part 1

Joe Versus the World #71: thecubsfan [Mexico]

[powerpress]

At last! The mighty Joe Versus the World returns with the man who guested on episode #1 some 7 and a half (!) years ago. The Cubs Fan is here to talk all things lucha, mainly his recent trip to Mexico. Topics include: correcting Dave Meltzer, Dr. Wagner Jr in your hometown, what to eat in Mexico, random Justin Credible sightings, old old old wrestlers, Cubs’s HOF ballot (hint: lots of lucha guys), the fine art of naming gifs, and some Cubs talk. Over an hour of audio power!

(For those of you expecting 1995, check back in a week or so)

Joe Versus the World #70: WWF 1994

[powerpress]

The good ship Joe vs the World returns, finally covering the year 1994 in the WWF. Joe and Justin hit it all, from wrestler’s other jobs, porn is not an acceptable substitute for wrestling, whatever happened to Herb Kunze?, Vince on trial, the New Generation (and all the old guys who were there too), Backlund gets screwed again, trying to think up rhyming midget names, and the genesis of the Justin/Mabel feud. Plus, Justin rebooks Survivor Series 1990 with the current WWE roster! Over TWO (2!) HOURS of audio in the mighty JVSTW manner!
