The Invisible Web Episode 22 (0303) - The Winter Solstice-Perchtenlauf-Christmas-Yule-Etc Espectacular
Happy Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Perchtenlauf, Requiem of the Dead, Tongzhi, Christmas, Yule or Winter Solstice.
On this episode of the Invisible Web Cast, I interview the only court certified historian of the combat sports, Karl Stern once again for the first half of the show. We discuss DC vs Marvel Comics continuity, 52, Annihilation, and some good recent reads. We also touch on some Wrestling history. As a bonus he reads part of his novel, Absence of Absalom, now available for the Amazon Kindle and all compatible readers. Approximately 46 minutes of whackiness~!
And on the second half of the show, the Out There Trilogy comes full circle as “Stunning” Austin Gandy of Disinfo World News and formerly Out There Radio, joins us for more than 45 more minutes of hijinks~! We reveal the origins of young Austin. The discussion is had of popul;ar holiday customs of traditions including but not limited to reindeer. Then SUMOM is brought up. What is SUMOM? Find out the answer to that question and others on this episode. Plus we try to sort out our colleague, the Popo Bawa’s career as a childrens’ television star. And a bonus surprise appears.
Download it now.
And thanks once again to Wendy Rule for her song, “La Femme de la Mer.” How can an epic show end without an epic song of timeless proportions?

Who was his trainer Tony Santos? Where is his Wrestling Weekly co-host Doc Young?

The Cauliflower Alley Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting retired and active participants of combat sports since 1965. Each year they hold a Reunion Banquet to commemorate the careers of individuals in the Pro wrestling business who have excelled to the pinnacle of the craft. It also serves to reconnect veterans and for the younger generation of Wrestlers to network and learn from their predecessors. It is opened to the public and it benefits the efforts of the Club pending prior registration. This year it will be held at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Los Vegas, Nevada.
UPDATE (06-12-2008) I also want to announce that officially the Invisible Web/Fools’ Gold blog on the left side of this page will officially be my blog again. Due to inspiration I received now as a member of the Combat Hooligans staff that page will be updated at least twice weekly I hope.
