Left My Wallet: Wrestling Weekly’s Les Thatcher talks sports, Roop vs. Kernodle
Left My Wallet returns with our very own co-host of Wrestling Weekly, the legendary Les Thatcher.
Les and I go back many years and is someone I consider a friend as he has been both a trainer and mentor to me. We talk a myriad of current sports issues such as why he’s appalled Justin Fields fell in this years NFL Draft, what he thinks about Patrick Mahomes, his love of Tom Brady, his thoughts on his Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow, and the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Les played against in little league.
He also talks about whether he thinks Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the basketball GOAT, his memories of baseball in the 50’s and his beloved Dodgers, whom he considers the best player ever, and why he thinks MLB players are getting injured more than ever.
We wrap up with some wrestling psychology, a famous in-ring drill Les created, what he sees and doesn’t see in training today, and what exactly was told to Don Kernodle the night he challenged Bob Roop in Mid-Atlantic.
Les is a treasure trove of wrestling and sports knowledge and is someone who has dedicated years of his life to this business we love. Very few are as honest and informative as he is. Enjoy this fun and honest talk about sports, wrestling, and training with our very own Les Thatcher.
