Ave Ralphus!

The Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport

Chris Jericho spent a lot of time in WCW testing the boundaries that he could get away with. As it turns out, he could get away with a lot, like blatantly lifting a sequence from This is Spinal Tap for a backstage segment, and getting both himself and a WCW camera crew ejected from the Library of Congress. And, on top of that, it turns out he could also gently press gang a less-than-imposing member of WCW’s road crew into donning ill-fitting clothing and marching him out alongside him as his bodyguard. Fun gimmick? Definitely, as watching Jericho order around his own personal midriff-baring Elmer Fudd is...well, unique. But what’s baffling about it is that with Jericho moving on up to New York, Ralphus didn’t fade away without him. In fact, he flourished on, as a small, concentrated spark of bottled lightning, a balding, toothless, rotund man that couldn’t work a lick and yet, somehow, kept getting a reaction. Tonight, on what will surely go down in history as the Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport, we examine the merits of beating up and pinning children for heat in pro wrestling storylines.
