Submitted by Matt Boone on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 at 2:41 AM EST
The February 18th edition of WrestleZone Radio featuring Matt Boone and Ryan Clark is now online.
Today's show started off with some plugs for upcoming guests. Bill Alfonso will be the featured guest on today's show, Jerry Lynn will be the guest on Thursday's show, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will be on in a week or so, and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase will be on the show on March 5th. Also in the opening notes segment of the show was the top stories in the week of pro wrestling. Matt and Ryan discussed D'Lo Brown's release from WWE, news and notes from last week's NWA-TNA show, Chris Benoit suffering a biceps tear, Tommy Dreamer joining the RAW writing team, WWE signing the one-legged TNA star "Tenacious Z", WWE taking oversears tours in May and June, SmackDown! rating dropping a bit, HHH and Stephanie McMahon getting engaged on Valentine's Day, and the stacked SmackDown! show this week featuring Hulk Hogan & The Rock, Nathan Jones debut, and the hyped Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar main-event.
From there it was time to welcome the guest for today's show, "The Manager Of Champions" and the man who calls it straight down the middle, Bill "Fonzie" Alfonso! Fonzie talked about his time in ECW very extensively, his work with RVD, Taz, and Sabu, as well as if he will ever come to WWE to re-join RVD, or even bring Sabu in with him as a surprise. Alfonso also discussed his time in WWF in the early 90s, his career in NWA/WCW, Florida Championship Wrestling, and every other stop along his impressive career. He talked about who came up with the blowing the whistle gimmick, the infamous stories of Paul Heyman shorting people on money, his time working with XPW and if he'll return, how he feels WWE is using RVD currently, and if he'll ever join his former ECW running buddies in NWA-TNA. He talked in great detail from beginning to end, including the hilarious back story, on how his incident with Missy Hyatt came about. The two were in a lawsuit battle on the syndicated "Judge Mathis" court TV show, and Fonzie didn't hold anything back in explaining how all of that went about. He also talked about funny road stories including Barry Whindam getting shot in the leg and working a 60 minute match the next night, among many others. In what early feedback insists is one of our most entertaining interviews to date, was our 50+ minute conversation with Bill "Fonzie" Alfonso!
After that it was time for the infamous RAW Rundown segment. Matt and Ryan shared their thoughts on last night's RAW from top to bottom including entertaining discussions and debates on the Eric Bischoff/Jim Ross match, Shawn Michaels new role as Jeff Hardy's mentor, Teddy Long's new prospect replacing D'Lo Brown - Rodney Mack and how he debuted by dropping Al Snow right on his head, the HHH/Batista vs. Booker T/Scott Steiner match being bumped to "second from the top" due to the last-minute Eric Bischoff vs. Jim Ross match. Also, find out why Ryan decided to watch "Joe Millionaire" instead of RAW last night!
