I can't wait to hear that one tonight. Jerry Graham was legit nuts and corrupted a young Vince McMahon when he was a teenager. And ISW is always entertaining.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Over the past few months they've had a lot of Jerry Graham stories. He was a wacky dude.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

No Conrad from the looks of it.
