Dre and the Black Cat,
I am catching up on episodes and listened to #150. I didn’t just listen to it, I was cracking up while listening to your adventures in the wonderful state of Connecticut. I didn’t just crack up in my living room or at the gym, but on a train in Peru. My wife and I were doing volunteer work and on our way to Machu Picchu. We were snaking through the Amazon jungle toward beautiful Incan ruins and I was crying and smiling as the Hulkster intervened and saved your lives. I felt as if one half of the Mega Powers was going to put the whole Peru Rail train on his back brother and use his 24″ pythons to scale the Andes Mountains dude! The ruins would be a spot for all the Hulkamaniacs to rest and bask in the shadow of the red and yellow. Thanks for the memories guys, always look forward to it.
Great Episode;
I think Jim Cornette has mentioned in some interview that the Midnight Express wrestling the Fantastics more than any other team. This is due to the year they spent together in World Class. The Express could not get booked with the remainin Von Erichs so the Fantastics were the only team to feud with. They wrestled nearly every show for a year.
Also, what would you do if Hawk actually did invite you to his house to watch Matlock? Would you go?
