This week on Confidential: Jesse Venture speaks and a Trish Stratus photo shoot.
Gene kicks the show off by briefly explaining just who Bob Costas is. He was the guy who called Hogan vs. McMahon the WWE's version of the old-times game at Yankee Stadium. Why Confidential would waste time interviewing Bob Costas is beyond me, especially considering his opinion on the current state of sports entertainment. Well at least he wasn't given the prestige of being the COVER STORY~!
Bob Costas first started watching wrestling in 1959-1960. He was a big fan of Bruno Sammartino, Haystacks Calhoun and Pedro Morales. Costas enjoyed how the shows used to seem to be ""good natured"". He was also drawn to the announcers like Gordon Solie and more specifically Gene Okerlund. The one trait Bob always liked about Gene was his mock seriousness.
Costas relates a story of Andre the Giant scaring a tough guy in a bar and goes into how he once did radio commentary for the Hulk Hogan-Paul Orndorff match in St. Lou
