Summary

Airheads! In this episode we welcome The Podfather himself, Conrad Thompson! Conrad helps us complete our discussion on Lloyds of London by giving us some insight into how Lloyds played a huge role in the golden era of Professional Wrestling! Since Conrad has an encyclopedic knowledge of wrestling, we couldn’t NOT stay on that subject, but in keeping with the theme of Puttin On Airs, we talked bout some fancy wrestlers such as The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Hunter Hearst Helmsley (the original gimmick of Triple H). We also talked about MONEY in wrestling: How it used to be, and how it is now! This was a GREAT interview and we encourage you to listen to ALL of Conrad’s Podcasts on the AD FREE SHOWS network (AdFreeShows.com) …. even if you are only slightly interested in Wrestling, we think you will love them…. Especially if you are in to the old school stuff like we are! Go to BlueChew.com and use the promo code POA to try BlueChew for FREE!
