July 26 Doc Young's Wrestling Weekly: Raw 1000, CM Punk's future, How Les became a trainer, more~!

Lively discussion today with Victor Sosa and Les Thatcher about Raw 1000! Specifically, the feel of the company at times, how CM Punk finds himself in familiar territory this summer, Brock Lesnar not being presented as a bigger deal than he has been and the future of AJ and the GM position in general.  Then, Les gives us some more detail on how and why he decided to become a pro wrestling trainer, which led to him opening up his school and the HWA, the satisfaction it gives him to work with those seeking to master their craft, and why if you're a young wrestler, you should get down to one of his weekend camps/seminars.  Plus, a special shoutout to a listener who went the extra mile for our resident legend.


 

July 20 Doc Young's Wrestling Weekly: 3 Hours of Raw, Cena Failure, where were you in 1984, more~!

A happy weekend in the Thatcher household as Les' TV rides again!  Issues prevented Les from having any TV yesterday, but that doesn't stop Vic and Les from talking Impact, the upcoming 3 hour Raw, is John Cena the right guy to fail to cash in the MITB briefcase, 1984 Mid Atlantic wrestling and where was Les when all this was going on, plus your questions from the board~!

 

July 13 Doc Young's Wrestling Weekly: The Sheik, Bruiser Brody, Funks/Briscos, riots and much more~!

Victor Sosa and Les Thatcher are heavy on the ol' school this week, mostly because Vic is tired of seeing AJ; well, he'll never be tired of actually seeing AJ Lee, but tired of her push as the central figure in the WWE title angle.  So, there's lots of time devoted to tales like: riding Dick the Bruiser's motorcycle, being ribbed into embarrassing The Sheik before a match, and did Les ever witness legit heat between the Funks & Briscos.  We finished up answering your questions from the board, which led to talk about Bruiser Brody, Dr. Sam Sheppard(!), and riots that Les had the unfortunate occasion to be caught in the middle of, and we snuck in our Money In The Bank PPV predictions as well.  We hope you enjoy the show and have a great weekend!

 

July 6 Doc Young's Wrestling Weekly with LANCE STORM~!

Terrific stuff this week (if we do say so ourselves) as Victor Sosa and Les Thatcher are joined by Lance Storm for the entire show!  We will touch on Impact and play the Destination X PPV prediction game, but if you're looking for a detailed rundown of the week's tv shows, then you should probably keep it movin'.  However, you're in the right place if you want to hear about Lance's take on the ROH tapings last week, Storm/Bennett III, a far worse injury Chris Jericho nearly suffered before breaking his arm in Smokey Mountain Wrestling, the influence Brian Pillman had on Lance's career, training Dolph Ziggler (and lecturing him about those crazy bumps), working with Terry Funk, watching Dick Murdoch and Bullet Bob Armstrong captivate a crowd for 10 minutes....well, by not taking crazy bumps.  We hope you enjoy the weekend and that Doc Young's Wrestling Weekly is a big part of that for you!
