About this episode
Author, musician, and Jericho Cruise favorite Joey Cassata returns to discuss his incredible new book, Wrestler Rankings: The Complete Year-by-Year History (1975-2025)! Joey explains how he spent 18 months compiling 50 years of wrestling history into one massive volume featuring the biggest stars, champions, rankings, rivalries, and moments from every era. He and Jericho relive the glory days of wrestling magazines, debate legends like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, and the Road Warriors, and talk about how the territorial system gave way to WWE's global expansion. Joey shares the painstaking process of researching decades of wrestling history, recreating classic magazine layouts, and even using AI to bring iconic moments back to life. Plus, they swap stories about the Jericho Cruise, Joey's hilarious annual cruise gifts, KISS, and Joey’s gig as Twisted Sister’s new drummer.
