Play episode


This week on The Wrestling Stoop, Bob Roop returns for Part 2 of the discussion of Bob’s time in the San Francisco territory back in 1977. We look at Bob’s booking raising the gates by over 75%, plus we talk the original Ukelele angle involving Dean Ho & Alexis Smirnoff that would be copied by Superstar Graham & Peter Maivia in the WWWF just a few months later! Bob also shares stories and memories of Roddy Piper, Bob Orton Jr., wrestling Peter Maivia, and Jimmy Golden setting Knoxville on fire… Literally! Then from there, we begin to crack open the 6 month long feud between Kevin Sullivan vs. Bob Roop that nearly tripled the gates at the Cow Palace! All of that, and more! So sit back, and enjoy!

A former National AAU Champion and U.S. Olympian, Bob doesn’t hold back and opens up about his time in the world of Professional Wrestling.
