Pro-wrestling really had a chokehold on our imaginations in the ‘90s. Whether our brains were being bodyslammed by WWF (WWE) or beat down by WCW, we loved every choreographed minute of the glammy, absurd high drama. Perhaps the most ‘90s of all wrestling shows of that time was the punk rock DIY version, Incredibly Strange Wrestling, which got its start in San Francisco in 1995 and then toured the world. Imagine an even more unhinged take on pro-wrestling mixed with the spirit (and sometimes masks) of Luche Libre and in-your-face Jackass-style antics. Add a few punk bands and a lot of tortillas flying around the audience, and you have some incredibly strange wrestling. Joining Audra and Raymond is the author, podcast host, and former Incredibly Strange wrestler, Bob Calhoun, who worked under the moniker Count Dante. Bob regales us with tales of the phenomenon, plus discusses some of the best moments of ‘90s wrestling in general. We even read some listener mail on the topic.
