Riddle mentions wrestling Chavo Guerrero Sr. two years ago and how people were saying that Chavo shouldn?t have had competed at that time. Riddle tells a story about Chavo looking to suplex him from the ring to the floor, but was hesitant. It is a interesting story about the situation and the experience.

A caller asks Apter what was the biggest show that Apter had been present at to photograph. Apter says that the event where Kerry Von Erich defeated Ric Flair for the NWA World Championship comes to mind. The same caller asks if a promoter ever put restrictions on him. Apter tells a funny story involving Terry Funk, which he does a good imitation. Apter says that a woman wouldn?t allow him to take photos of the match because he was ?making money of her business?. The story ends with Ivan Putski saying that he wouldn?t compete in the main event, thus Apter was allowed to photograph for the rest of the night.
