Keeps getting better and better. Great to see Steve Austin in the first episode of season 3. Great series for all the wrestling fans from the 80s and 90s.

I'm enjoying watching this show. It has been a very interesting show. The people that have been interviewed for this show are cool. Bruce Prichard is a bright man when it comes to the wrestling business.
