Wrestling with sports-talk

[johnbasalla]

How many sports-talk stations have regularly scheduled talk shows that primarily cover Pro-Wrestling?

Every once in a long while, the topic will come up either as a special or during a down-time in sports news.

For those that do have wrestling shows, whether occasional or regularly scheduled, do they talk about the current action more or talk about the "classic" days of the 1960s - 1980s?

I remember Larry Cotlar's One on One Sports/Sporting News Radio show used to set aside an hour of wrestling talk on Saturday nights. Joe McDonnell, back when he had regular gigs here in L.A. used to also set aside a hour on his Friday shows to talk wrestling. Both of them would talk current trends, show recaps, and prominitely feature interviews with past and present wrestlers.

Milwaukee's ESPN Radio affiliate used to have a Monday night wrestling show, the Pro Wrestling Report, but the owner/producer of that show has since moved the show to the internet (via BlogTalk Radio) because of too many programming conflicts. There's also SiriusXM's Busted Open, which airs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons.

I seem to recall one of the national networks (maybe the old One on One) had a weekend wrestling show. I'm thinking somewhere around the late 90s-early 2000s. Maybe it was syndicated. I'm not certain.

SportsFan Radio Network, which is now probably either Fox Sports Radio or Yahoo Sports Radio had "WrestleTalk America" on Saturday nights...that's what you were thinking of.
