Episode 220: The Best of Studio Sessions with Jim Ross 4 Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

UPDATE: JR is still healing up and taking some much needed time away, so we're going to continue to enjoy these blasts from the past. We hope to have JR back very soon.

We're back in the WSB studios with JR circa 1992/93. This week's look back at Studio Sessions brings us legendary guest such as Lance Russel, Paul E. Dangerously, Bobby Heenan and a whole more surprises!

First, JR is joined by Lance Russel to discuss the WCW Hotline and all the happenings behind the scenes of World Championship Wrestling. Then he catches up with the diabolical Paul E. Dangerously to discuss the state of his Dangerous Alliance and if their days as a group are numbered.

And then, JR is joined by known other than the weasel himself, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan to discuss the build for SummerSlam. Guests include Jack Tunney, Lex Luger (live on the road from his "Lex Express"), Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Jerry Lawler, and 1-2-3 Kid!
