Call Somebody! The MOTHERSHIP has landed! Join The Great Brian Last for this packed edition of the 6:05 Superpodcast, Featuring:

– Jeff Oddo joins the show to talk about Lords Of The Ring, wrestling’s first commercial home video.

Jim talks about the friendship he developed with Buddy Rogers, and what happened when Goodhearted folded. We hear about the early days of ECW, as well as Jim’s memories of the night ECW & XPW clashed in Los Angeles!
