Classic Wrestling Memories is back for a unique format this week. Seth and Crazy Train are not discussing a historical event or time frame, but are talking about the psychology of pro wrestling. Specifically, what it takes to be a babyface. Train brings 15 years of experience as a wrestler, with most of those years as a babyface. Seth lists four things a babyface would NEVER do, and four things a babyface would ALWAYS do. Plus, both give three examples of great babyfaces with specific instances where they showed these qualities. On top of that, Seth and Train talk arguably the greatest babyface of all time, Hulk Hogan. In the final segment of the show, Train demonstrates a babyface interview promo.
