<v Speaker 2>I know? Featuring the Lapsed Fans Greatest Hits motherfucker.
<v Speaker 1>We find ourselves threaded into literature and books constantly because
<v Speaker 1>of the impact that we've had and how definitive our
<v Speaker 1>voice has been about the wrestling of the past.
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can complain about us all you want,
<v Speaker 2>exactly as we can. Legacy is what matters. Motherfuckers penetrating
<v Speaker 2>and I need to be I don't need to be

<v Speaker 1>from the unknown credit cut. We've corresponded with this fine gentleman. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>and he's good. What is kape? The best feuds? These
<v Speaker 1>are feuds?
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So I got an NWB O versus w stud
<v Speaker 2>Jarry lol e versus Andy Kaufman. Are these ranked? I
<v Speaker 2>guess they are ranked? Yes, they go in order. So
<v Speaker 2>do you want to jump to the end and see who?
<v Speaker 2>Want to see? Let's do who? In essence is the worst? Okay?
<v Speaker 2>So the worst? Wow? The worst? Number one hundred was
<v Speaker 2>d X versus the McMahon's from thousand six. Yes, and
<v Speaker 2>then we go back to number one. These are so great.
<v Speaker 1>What a great idea for books?
<v Speaker 2>Number Wow, number one? What do you think it is?
<v Speaker 2>Number one? What? Let's just make number one category the
<v Speaker 2>number one pro wrestling feud that made us believe Steve
<v Speaker 2>Austin Verspreheart close get a half right, Steve Austin ers Inzikman. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 2>that is correct, Yes, And I would say, you know
<v Speaker 2>that certainly had a leg up in most ways. You'd
<v Speaker 2>metur great feuds over Brett and Steve Longevity. Really yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I would. But also in the idea of the you did,
<v Speaker 2>I would admit I did believe that there was some
<v Speaker 2>animosity between Steve Austin and Finzickman and.
<v Speaker 1>Just a business impact.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can totally the most.
<v Speaker 1>So this is so cool. So so the unknown critic
<v Speaker 1>who penned all these books, you know, threads us in
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit and into many of them. We have
<v Speaker 1>Slam Past Slamtastic Stupidity, the unkown critics of blistering commentary
<v Speaker 1>on Pro Wrestlings one hundred most Outrageous Gimmicks. We also
<v Speaker 1>have the unknown critic presents Channelmania, Cable TV's Rise and Fall,
<v Speaker 1>and the one hundred show that made the medium taking
<v Speaker 1>a look, you know, sort of view an outside the
<v Speaker 1>the auspices of wrestling. But here the Unknown Critic presents
<v Speaker 1>Enhancement Talent, a glorious tribute to pro wrestling's job guys
<v Speaker 1>and mikeel Ooh. He has an entire chapter here called
<v Speaker 1>Last Legends how the Lapsed Fan podcast enhances wrestlings forgotten stories.
<v Speaker 1>He writes, Ladies and gentlemen, pause the tape on your
<v Speaker 1>Superstars of Wrestling vhs and lendoneer to a different kind
<v Speaker 1>of squared circle symphony. In the pages of Enhancement Talent,
<v Speaker 1>we've celebrated the jobbers and mike men who've built wrestling's
<v Speaker 1>golden eras stories of wrest Okay, it's the okay, let
<v Speaker 1>me let me pick that up. I didn't know if
<v Speaker 1>I was going to go on a tangent there. We've
<v Speaker 1>celebrated the jobbers and mike men who built wrestling's golden
<v Speaker 1>eras guys like Barry Horowitz who sold a pile driver
<v Speaker 1>like it was armagedin, and voices like grillamon one I know,
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to close my eyes. That's the problem.
<v Speaker 1>That was good too, who sold the pile driverings aren't again,
<v Speaker 1>and voices like grillaman Soon, who made every squash match
<v Speaker 1>feel like a main event. But there's another enhancer out there,
<v Speaker 1>a modern maestro, spinning tales of wrestlings past with the

<v Speaker 1>arrowoodz bump. It's The Lapsed Fan podcast, Yes, a seven
<v Speaker 1>hour plus odyssey into the heart of wrestling's lore. If
<v Speaker 1>jobbers and announcers are the unsung heroes of the ring,
<v Speaker 1>then the Lapsed Fan is the unsung barred of the airwaves,
<v Speaker 1>resurrecting the stories of wrestlings, forgotten soldiers, for fans who've
<v Speaker 1>lapsed but never lost the love.
<v Speaker 2>Picture this.

<v Speaker 1>the ww networks of digital time machines fitting out pay
<v Speaker 1>per use in the eighties and nineties. Enter The Lapsed Fan,
