Episode 167: Lenny Leonard (Presented by...

The Creative Control Network
About this episode
He has no doubt called more pay-per-view events by himself than any announcer in pro wrestling history. He has the distinction of being the only man in WWE history to do the same for an event broadcast under their banner. He was one of the definitive voices of Ring of Honor, alongside Dave Prazak, during crucial years from 2005-2009 and got to experience so much history as a result.

He is the one and only Lenny Leonard, and he is our guest this week on AN HONORABLE MENTION! From the most random of Full Impact Pro discussions, to talks of calling Match of The Year candidates from a couch in Florida and the wild process of producing ROH DVD’s while working a full-time job, this conversation covers a wide-range. There’s some talk of Dragon Gate USA, some Bloodsport and GCW Spring Break, calling an event on the WWE Network, Joe vs. Kobashi, the Dragon Gate Six Man, and what made the Prazak/Leonard duo special.

And of course, we talk about the ongoing Women Division Wednesday for ROH’s YouTube channel as well as thoughts on the Women’s Championship Tournament coming this summer that has brought Lenny back to the fold!

Join Jeff and Shane in welcoming the distinguished Lenny Leonard to AN HONORABLE MENTION, brought to you by PATREON.COM/ANHONORABLEPOD, and presented on the CREATIVE CONTROL NETWORK family of podcasts!

And be sure to check out Lenny’s weekly radio show with Ron Niemi IN THIS CORNER on Saturday’s at 10:30am on am1150WTMP.com via TuneIn Radio, the WTMP app, or just holler at ALEXA to “Play WTMP”! If you’re in the proper Florida area, it’s 1150AM/97.5FM Pinellas, 102.1FM Tarpon Springs, or 96.1 HD2 Hernando!
