Dan Farren, Roddy Piper, and Lucky Pierre

Just click here for Slammin’ Stan episode #34, which features our first official guest on the show, Kevin Kleinrock, who has enjoyed a unique odyssey in the world of pro wrestling and television. This is one hep-cat full of energy and ambition who tells us about his unusual and impressive ride in the industry. Kevin also fills us in about his upcoming Viva La Lucha PPV, which sounds like a must-see for both Lucha Libre purists and the casual fan. Check this one out, folks!

We start out the show with a brand new Haiku. However…….. Jon Strongman has been replaced by another muse!

We start out the episode reminiscing about last Saturday night’s long awaited return of “Millennium Pro Wrestling” headlined by Logan X vs Cincinnati Red in a badge vs hair match that featured involvement by the one and only Rowdy Roddy Piper! Fredo talks about the key matches and Vandal recounts reuniting with long lost pals like Crayz, and meeting cool-cats new on his radar like Bo Cooper and Amanda. Vandal also talks about his first match in nearly three years versus Fanboy, and the blast he had (even though he blew up immediately) reentering the ring!

On a side note, I neglected to mention in the show all the energy our own Dan Farren put into this show in his role as the commissioner. We kid a lot in this episode about Dan “no-showing” for the interview with Kleinrock, so I want to say with great emphasis here that Dan is both a great friend and talented person that I have known for over twenty years now. If I were not so much in love with Elena I would go to great lengths to steal his wife Mary Lou away from him, but would still consider him my best friend (is that true pro wrestling friendship OR WHAT?). Seriously though, I love you Dan, you are a great friend!

We talk about Wes Daniel’s involvement in the AIDS/Lifecycle Ride, a journey that he is taking in memory of his partner Eric. Wes is a great guy who is heavily involved with The Cauliflower Alley Club. He is taking part in a 566 mile round trip ride from L.A. to San Francisco. The Daily Breeze features Wes in a story here, which includes info on how you can sponsor him in this ride.

The final portion of this show features the reunion of “Los Cuatro Rudos,” as Vandal and Fredo are joined by David “The Bixie Demon” Bixenspan and the one and only D.R. Luch Steve Sims!!! We cover a lot of fun ground in a short amount of time, which includes news about the return of Perro Aguayo Jr to AAA, Luch’s trip to Las Vegas to get rowdy with the likes of Dave Meltzer, Bryan Alvarez, and The Figure 4 Message Board Party Lunatics! We also look back at 1980s Los Angeles luchadores Jesse Garcia and Principe Joel, who were two of the mainstays at the legendary Hadco Plaza.
