WOR: Pat LaPrade on WON HOF, Andre, Rene Goulet, AEW/NXT ratings
Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back. Joining us is Pat LaPrade.
We begin the show talking about the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame and who got in, including a discussion on Bearcat Wright. Pat talks about his piece on Paul Pons and then we go over who was close to being inducted.
Pat discusses the story of Rene Goulet’s death and why no one knew about it until months later. Pat also talks about his book The Eighth Wonder Of The World on Andre the Giant.
We then finish off the show talking about Wednesday night’s NXT and AEW ratings.
Garrett hosts The Fight Game Podcast with John LaRocca, We're Live, Pal with Andrew Zarian, the weekly Friday edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, and the once-a-month post-UFC Saturday version of Wrestling Observer Radio. Garrett also runs the Fight Game Media Network and the BSPN Network. In his day job, he's a co-founder of the social media network for neighbors, Nextdoor.
