June 28, 2022 08:58 - 23.8 MBI bet you didn't expect this. Yes, Karl Stern vs. The Yeti. I saw the debut of the Yeti in WCW. I am also a fan of giant tall wrestlers. Yes, I may be the only one but this gimmick was something that was straight out of Memphis wrestling, only it was on nationwide TV. Ron Reis was The Yeti, except, instead of being the Abominable Snowman he was a mummy. None of this makes sense so listen to the show and I'll unpack it for you. You won't regret this.

Karl Stern Show, Jun 21st
June 21, 2022 13:55 - 20.9 MBOne of my favorite wrestlers- Ultimo Dragon. I was already a big fan of Ultimo Dragon before he showed up on WCW television as a new international junior heavyweight. The photo of him as the J-Crown champion survives in pop culture as a meme of achievement. He has had standout matches all over the world including Mexico, Japan, and the United States but, of course, his worst stint was in WWE. Never-the-less, I love Ultimo Dragon so let's talk about him today on the show.
