A must-listen for old-school territory fans!

Bob is so articulate and a tremendous storyteller, it makes the podcast a tremendous listen. Great job of research and prep by Ray. Love it!
Coach Canova

Love it!!!

Bob Roop was one of my favorite heels back in his Mid South days. I love hearing him tell these stories. Enjoying Ray as well. A likable host with a wrestling legend telling stories. Win/Win

If you enjoy territory wrestling this cast is for you.

mixed feelings

i don't have an issue with bob roop, although the host rubs me the wrong way. it seems like he is just trying to hit it big with someone, and this is the best he could do. bob is fine, although i can't see this lasting too long.

Confusing

This thing is all over the place ! I’m so confused! Kinda like listening to a Joe Biden speech
