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!

DR. KEITH PRESENTS: Just who was The Yellow Dog???

We go back 21 years this week on the DKP to review one of the most infamous shows in WCW history - The Great American Bash 1991! We do it with our buddy Wolfgang who travelled all the way from Austria to Baltimore Maryland to be in attendance at this very show. Featuring such mysteries as who was behind the mask of the Yellow Dog? who were the women with Tom Zenk? why was PN News in a scaffold match? and many more, this was a head scratching show to say the least. We talk it all, the good (there wasn't much), the bad, and the ugly! CHECK IT!!!
