You guys have great chemistry. James is a very good interviewer.

What? Roddy was champ nearly 20 years before stone cold? All be it not a world champ, still I’m confused on what you’re confused about, Roddy showed the wrestling world that someone other then a technician could be champ and also it’s understandable Dutch would say that considering Roddy himself didn’t want to be champ and rather get paid to draw and that’s it

Curt Henig was best wrestler to never win world Titles I don’t count AWA

What is Jungle Boy weight? Like 150 pounds? Tony Kahn is lucky he has unlimited funds and resources from his father because that company would have died a while ago. Tony Kahn needs to hire people who have spines that can work in his backstage positions and who will not take drama like Kahn easily does. Kahn is an owner. And that is all he should be. Playing action figures with real people. How long is that going to last?

Jungle Boy is the real life Scrappy Doo. I hope he's been punished in some way - if he hadn't thrown a challenge at Punk on camera, a lot of this probably wouldn't have happened.

Rick Rude was WCW champion somewhere between 92-94. I have to wonder if Hall and Jake wouldn't have cleaned up their act some if given the responsibility of being the champion. Mr. Wonderful, and Arn Anderson are perfect choices. It's hard to beat Ted DiBiase on this one. I agree Goldust was awesome and should have been champ. I disagree on Owen and I think he could have been better than Bret.

My curiosity demanded that I look up the song "Hulkster in Heaven." Curse you, James!

The camera moving is my new favorite part of the episodes. 😂

Dutch & James have some good names on that list. Guys like Paul Orndorff, Rick Rude & Steven Regal would have made good heavyweight champions. I'd add Don Muraco & Barry Windham to that list as well.

My life is truly blessed for hearing Hulkster in Heaven. EPIC!

Great show. Would like more stories of Dutch's tome in Ga. Any stories about Bob Armstrong?

Bray was getting a whole faction like the wyatt family again brother. It was gonna be huge but alas we will never get to see it :(. Love the show guys

Great show as always

Windham was a close friend of mine! I'm still completely in shock over his passing, this wasn't supposed to happen like this. I remember training with Windham and Bryan at HBKs wrestling academy, we had so much fun, we became extremely close during that time, I'm so proud he and Bryan made it to WWE! I got injured and had to move on to producing and booking. But we stayed close through it all, I still don't want to say it but, goodbye my friend.

Man, I love the guitar intro

Still working my way through this ... if the Big Boss Man doesn't get a single vote, that's a travesty. Yes, he was UWF Champ but that's not more valid than TNA or ROH really and hardly anyone nowadays would know he was. The guy was SUPER over in 1988-91, one of WWE's biggest stars - no way guys like Haku or Warlord should be getting votes but not Boss Man.

Gary Hart book can be listened to on KZread. It's a good listen. 🤣

Ric Flair initially got Arn in, and it was Ole who saw the Anderson in him. Arn was a nephew in the beginning.

AWA was Heavy Weight Champion not World Champion. Curt Hennig gets my vote

I got both of Dutches' book, great reads.

On the list of greats that should have been a World Champion, Dr. Death Steve Williams should be on the list.

WCW international title should count because "WCW International" was the name of their short-lived governing body at the time (a la IWGP.). International was not used as a category (a la Intercontinental.)

Dutch, you need to turn your motion detection off on your camera bud, that will fix your camera issue.

Another Hogan lie from JRE He said he wrested in Japan on cards with Pride MMA guys in the 1970’s Pride wasn’t a thing until 1997.

The funniest part is supposedly wrote it at Wembley yet the alblum was released by WCW. Hmmmm guess Vince bought it earlier than we knew

I like when Hulk pushed dog shite in his ears that was funny

1:38 - I thought micheal hayes showed up for a sec there

Barry Windham should be on this list. He was a very good wrestler and would have been a great world champion.

Dutch & James are a winner Team!

Roddy would have been a great heal champion

Well, wasn’t Ken Shamrock, the inaugural TNA / NWA heavyweight champion

One of the reasons Jake Roberts was never given the World title strap is because of his drug & alcohol problem. Vince couldn't trust Jake to be the face of the company.

Barry Windham, end of story.

Both Cornette and Dutch were not a fan of Bray's gimmicks, but he was the sole reason that I kinda got back into wrestling. I guess it was because I saw him as the next Undertaker, which made me think of the good ole days that will never return bc kayfabe. While everyone "knew" that the wrestlers were in storylines, etc....kayfabe worked bc you would of never seen a picture of two wrestlers in the middle of a feud hugging one another! John Cena and one of the Usos were in a video where Jey or Jimmy were excited Cena was back, which is understandable, but kinda makes the "story" hard to get behind. I feel that is why wrestling is no longer entertaining----the heels are cheered and no one really knows how to get major heat except Dominik and Roman.

Are there any videos of Dutch playing the guitar?

For top 10 guys who have NEVER WON an NWA (travelling world title days), AWA, WCW, WWF/WWE, Universal, WWE WHC (the version of the 2000s that Evolution HHH dominated and the one Rollins holds today) or AEW World Title: (no particular order, US based companies mainly): Piper Brody Snuka Dibiase Orndorff Jake Ernie Ladd Arn Rude (sorry I don't count the International WCW World Title) Windham (same as Rude but that title was known as the NWA World Title before they changed the name.) If the Rude and Windham reigns are considered World titles, then guys like Scott Hall, Ray Stevens, Billy Robinson, Muraco, Wahoo, Gordy, Mulligan, and Johnny Valentine would be worthy of those two spots. I think Samoa Joe among guys in his era is a great pick. Sorry I don't count the TNA or ROH Title as a world title. It TRULY should be Andre as the #1 pick hands down. But I guess that couple minute reign before selling the WWF title to Dibiase counts. WHICH MEANS does Dibiase buying the title count as well. They say he wrestled matches as the WWF World Champion. ,

Tony has Paul Wight on the payroll. Use him as muscle like Blackjack, and Jody Hamilton was used.

Vader stuck his finger in one of Sid's stab wounds, not Arn's. They stabbed each other multiple times but neither would press charges on the other.

just listened to the first 30 seconds of "Hulkster in Heaven"...🤦‍♂️

Are they counting Barry Windham's early 90's "NWA World Champion" run as an actual run? To me that wasn't a world championship anymore.
