In this final episode of “What A Rush,” Animal’s co-host Joe Roderick will give his thoughts and share his memories about the man, the myth, and the pro wrestling legend who was taken from us so suddenly and tragically, Joseph “Animal” Laurinaitis.

Listen in as not only Joe takes your along for his stories, but also Animal’s peers, co-workers, and friends will reminisce as well, including “Precious” Paul Ellering, Shane “Hurricane” Helms, Kevin Sullivan, Matt Cardona, Bill Apter, Larry Zbyszko, Gary Michael Cappetta, Billy Gunn, “The Franchise” Shane Douglas, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Tony Schiavone, Nikita Koloff, and Scott Norton.

Animal was one of the first “name” superstars to come aboard the Creative Control Network, and give us some credibility. He was always generous with his time, his wisdom, and his willingness to share and interact with his audience. It’s been an honor to upload and promote this podcast.

RIP Animal.
