Episode 536: John Hawk Bradshaw In 1996

On this episode of Something To Wrestle, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson take us back to John's 1996 in the WWF! John shares the stern warning officials gave the locker room ahead of the Boiler Room Brawl, the tremendous pressure on Shawn Michaels and Vader to draw, and the one good thing that came out of the fake Razor Ramon and Diesel experiment.

Plus, John reveals his surprise at ECW's invasion, explains how Brian Pillman made himself undeniable, and tackles a debate sure to get people talking: Who was the better sports entertainer—Bret Hart or Road Dogg? It's a year of big risks, backstage tension, and unforgettable personalities, as only John can tell it!

That's not all, Tony from Heritage Auctions joins the show and brings some unforgettable items to show us and Conrad does an in depth interview with belt maker, Dave Millican about the creation and design of the iconic WrestleMania belt.
