The Guest: Bob Smith welcomes the esteemed writer Ross Benes to the show, where he talks about his recently released book, 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America And Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. This prolific journalist devotes a long and incredibly researched chapter in this amazing book to pro wrestling, which spent the 1990s going down the low-culture rabbit hole that the rest of mass media was. It’s a decidedly different episode of The Outdated Wrestling Hour – a decidedly different pro wrestling podcast!
