The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.

The Topic: You asked for it, so we’re continuing it: Our recent spate of “My Favorite Things” podcasts – featuring wrestling mavens and experts looking back at their all-time favorite matches, stars, arenas, and much more – has been a hit ever since we began the concept with Howard Baum last year. Now, the irrepressible Jammie Ward (a mainstay on The OtherShip podcast on the WrestleCopia Network) takes the hot seat, and as usual, he’s a real delight, going back to his youth to talk about his most fondly remembered moments. Join us for an upbeat good time on the latest Outdated Wrestling Hour: Where mat mavens let their hair down and reminisce!

The Topic: In the aftermath of WrestleMania 2026 – which was in turns absolutely thrilling and vastly disappointing – we’ve called all hands on deck for another special episode. To lead things off, Smith and Puccio look back at their picks to win the two-day extravaganza’s matches, and offer their views on the PLE. That’s before Steve Gennarelli of the Stick To Wrestling Podcast With John McAdam returns to the studio with one goal in mind: To try to dissuade Bob Smith from giving up today’s wrestling altogether. It’s an in-depth look at the premiere mat event with a decidedly “outdated” point of view!

The Topic: It’s one of the biggest podcasts in the history of The Outdated Wrestling Hour as we offer two aural events: We start with Bob Smith and Joe Puccio offering their predictions for this year’s two-night WrestleMania extravaganza - a rarity not only because it’s a nostalgia podcast, but also because both hosts could eek out time right before the event to offer their picks and thoughts. That’s not all: The two time Wrestling Observer book of the year award author Brian R. Solomon returns for the newest edition of “My Favorite Things” – another wrestling lifer reflects back on his favorite matches, cards, stars, and much more. It’s a jam-packed Outdated Wrestling Hour – and it’s one of the most unique episodes yet!
