"I thought they'd bring you back on a STRETCHER!"
The Californer/10255704

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Californer -- Two of professional wrestling's biggest stars, both legendary WWE Hall of Famers, have joined forces in a powerful venture. JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield) and Gerald Brisco host the popular "Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw" – a YouTube and podcast phenomenon.



"Our guests are some of the best-known people alive – legends – friends," Gerry Brisco said, smiling proudly. "Ron Simmons, Baron Von Raschke, Abdullah the Butcher, Dutch Mantell, Jimmy Hart, Kurt Angle, Road Dogg, Beth Phoenix, Mickey James . . ."

Gerry continued, reciting the names of about fifty more major stars who had appeared on the show. JBL waited patiently, smiled, then added "Our shows are different. We respect our guests and consider them family." He tipped his big white cowboy hat. "Most wrestlers have an extreme sense of humor, and we kid with each other. Yes, some of the stories evoke a full range of emotion, but laughter is a part of every show. What we do is fun for the audience. We leave them inspired, entertained, empowered, and happy" [there was a brief pause] "and, of course, looking forward to the next episode."
