José Lothario

And it's been a long time since two guys as popular as the current champions were defending.

The champs are the powerful Polish strongman Ivan Putski and Mexico's idol Jose Lothario.

Each sports a dazzling championship belt.

However, Putski has been draping his across his shoulder since his waist is a little rotund for the title belt.

And then the main event, Texas Tag Team title.

Ivan Putski, 280, Poland.

Jose Lothario, 235, Mexico City against The Brute.

256 from Canada.

Yeah, obviously, you know, big happenings at Survivor Series.

We'll get an update on Jose Lothario, I believe, during that episode of Raw, as well as Psycho Sid caught a promo, which I think is a memorable one, and the big one that I know Garrett's looking forward to, Austin Mankind, in a weird kind of no-DQ brawl match that I think ends in a DQ from memory.

And, yeah, Farouk Savio-Vegan on that one, as well as Fairness and LaFont versus Lee Cassidy and Bob Holly.

So, you know, all the stars are here, JP, but...

I see Dominic and... all of the luchadores, the Dragon Leagues, and guys that are big-time luchador wrestlers today in AAA, and all of them owe Eddie a debt.

Because as great as the wrestler Mil Mascaris and Jose Lothario and Even what Rey Mysterio ended up becoming.

None of that stuff would have been possible without the greatness of Eddie Guerrero.

I mean, he was the guy that every company that he went to, they just said, well, shit, let's put him with the champion because he's going to outclass everybody else.

Madison Square Garden Survivor Series.

That was the same night that Psycho Sid took the camera to Jose Lothario and won the WWE Championship.

Then the WWF Championship from Shawn Michaels.

Go check that out.

By the end of the decade, San Antonio had become an important center for the development of future wrestling talent.

In April 1999, Shawn Michaels, Rudy Boy Gonzalez, Jose Lothario, and Ken Johnson established the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy in San Antonio.

The school was intended to train wrestlers for a business in which the old territory apprenticeship system was gone.

The academy represented a different approach to talent development.

But then Jericho will start dressing younger.

Can Chris Jericho dress younger? Do you think he can get there? But that's the thing, isn't it? There's young, and then this age gap is bigger than Jose Lothario and Shawn Michaels.

So he's going to start dressing like Nick Wayne.

He's going to, look, I've got you this new, sorry I broke your

[laughs] [upbeat music] Da-da, da-da, da-la-da.

How old was José Lothario at WrestleMania XII?

[laughs] Like, are we-

The big questions on the Dynamite review.

[laughs] I think you shoot old.

Yeah.

José Lothario-

Yeah
