Plus, we get a profound look into the crazy world of journeyman wrestler Pat McGinnis! *** For the first 30 minutes of the program Bob starts off the show with Booking Lessons 101. Bob explains his mindset as a booker, talking the psychological elements of a storyline, how to create instant credibility when there's no time for a slow build, suspending the crowd's disblief, match placement on a card being important, when to get out of the ring before inciting a riot, what is the "Office Hold" and who had it, and more! From there, we continue with our trip back to 1977 in the San Francisco territory as Bob continues to discuss his 6-Month long feud vs. Kevin Sullivan.
